In BTS's latest interview with Indian host Sakshma Srivastava, Jin was asked a pretty controversial question regarding the correlation between his visuals and vocals. The interview assumed that he might feel like his looks overshadow his vocals.
Jin: I don’t think my looks overshadow my singing. Looking good it’s actually a plus factor, not a minus. Ofcourse, looks could distract you a little, but I think it’s an additional factor and not something that takes away something. It’s like adding decoration on delicious food.
Jin, who is known to be a very witty speaker, immediately proved this assumption to be wrong:
"I don't think my looks overshadow my singing. Looking good is actually a plus, not a minus. It's an additional factor and not something that takes away anything. Like adding decoration on delicious food."
As a flexible thinking type of person, he handled such indelicate and binary questions very well.

And Jin did not lie! Fans trended WE LOVE YOUR VOICE JIN worldwide on Twitter, appreciating the immense vocal talent he keeps demonstrating; the outstanding recognition and success he achieved.
The issue of being called "just a pretty face" is very familiar to many Kpop visuals. However, Jin proved it to be wrong too many times. He frequently goes viral not only for his visuals, but also for vocals; gets praised by respected vocal critics; he is the author of the 5th best boyband song in history; dominates charts with his works, but most importantly always delivers the otherworldly performance getting a standing ovation from the public solely for the power of his vocals. All of it is deeply appreciated by Jin's fans.
I stumbled over this 00:00 lyric vid and the comment section had me shaking. 90% were screaming Jin's name so I JUST HAVE TO DO THIS
'Jin is the one I would rely on the most" 'Jins voice is just under the highest plane & above the lowest plane. He's probably got quite a wide range but his tonal quality sits like a glue! So if I was recording I would get the most out of him' We love your voice Jin
Seokjin answered his question so well he never fails to impress me with how self aware and practical he is. Yes, his confidence is one of his biggest assets but more than that his intrapersonal intelligence is something i admire a lot
