Jin’s Brother Is Living His Best Life As A BTS Fanboy
When Jin joined BTS, he gained six new friends who have become like brothers to him. But this charismatic star also has a biological brother who isn’t shy about cheering him on.
On November 15, Jin released Happy, his debut studio album as a soloist. The album contains six tracks, including the pre-released single “I’ll Be There,” the title track “Running Wild,” and Jin’s collaboration with Red Velvet‘s Wendy, “Heart on the Window.”
Since Happy‘s release, ARMYs all over the world have been promoting Jin’s solo music on social media to express their support. Some have also paid a visit (or ten?) to the Happy pop-up store in Seoul. The store, which is open from November 19 to December 1, features a photo zone, an interactive content zone, and a merch shop.

ARMYs aren’t the store’s only patrons though. On November 27, Jin’s brother Kim Seok Jung posted photos to Instagram of his visit to the store.
Seok Jung’s photo set includes pictures of the exhibits…
…but also a shopping bag carrying the merch he purchased. In the caption, he wrote, “I wonder how many how many hyungs in South Korea splurge to collect a bunch of their dongsaeng’s stuff. It was winter.” “It was winter,” is a playful callback to a Korean meme. The phrase “It was summer” blew up among Korean Gen-Zers after an X user requested inspiration for a poem she was writing for school.
In the comments section, netizens praised Seok Jung for being such a supportive older brother.
Of course, this isn’t the first time Seok Jung has shown his ARMY side. Among other things, he displayed BTS’s TIME magazine cover in his home.
