He also released the first set of concept photos, showcasing himself in a retro aesthetic. He sported a long, straight brown hairstyle we hadn’t seen before.
ARMYs loved the shoot’s Y2K vibes, saying that Jin looked like the male lead of a K-Drama of that era. We’re definitely getting Boys Over Flowers or Coffee Prince from it!
Idk how to put my thoughts into words but this Jin is giving 2000s/Y2K Japanese or K-Drama/Movie Male Lead and its effing hot 🔥😳🥵#Jin_Happy#Jin_IllBeThere#Jin_RunningWild#Jin pic.twitter.com/gVUc7xhUPw

ARMYs especially felt like Jin could be a member of F4. Many compared Jin to Yoon Ji Hoo (SS501‘s Kim Hyun Joong).
He is reminding me of Ji-Hoon sunbaenim. I can't unsee, I know the OG drama lover would agree with me. I can't be the only one who is seeing this. 😭😭😭😭💜💜💜 pic.twitter.com/5LwWvs00Xm

Some felt he came straight out of the 2nd-Gen K-Pop era. He was compared to icons like Kim Jaejoong.

That’s not the only Japanese man Jin was likened to. Many also couldn’t unsee a resemblance to Death Note protagonist Light Yagami.
