BTS's Jin is a very thoughtful person who is always mindful and careful with everything in life. The members of BTS describe him as an open-minded person accepting any changes in the modern world.
In the recent Vogue interview, Jin mentioned being highly concerned about environmental issues:
"To be honest, I’m a bit cautious. I hesitate to write about things I can’t completely relate to. Let’s take environmental issues as an example. Even if I want to write a song about the environment, there’s a part of me that can’t help wondering, “Do I have the right to write about this? Am I someone who truly embodies, and lives out this topic?” It’s something I have to consider deeply. But there are, as always, many urgent issues that need to be brought to light. I’m sure there’ll be a story I’d want to share at some point."
Jin mentioned environmental issues as one of the most important topics for him. However, having an admirable level of thoughtfulness, Jin asks himself if he has the right to speak on a particularly complex topic. The understanding of the possible misinformation and high responsibility is admirable, especially in the modern world when many people speak over specific issues that aren't their place to have an opinion.
It's also remarkable how honest Jin wants to be in his art. He writes songs only on the topics he himself has lived through. Jin wants to be sure to share only the things he truly believes in.
Jin isn't just highly concerned about environmental issues. The artist takes his part in reducing the damage to our planet. For example, a couple of years ago, Jin was buying an artificial flower at the store in Seoul, and the seller later said that Jin was thoroughly asking him about the ways of recycling an artificial flower.
In the Hyundai interview, Jin also revealed to be trying to reduce the usage of water.
In 2019, during the interview, Jin was asked about an issue that can't be solved even by superheroes. His answer was quite intelligent and thoughtful:
"Global warming. Honestly if you look at heros power revealed in movies, there are only those kind of powers which are destroying and smashing. I think heros who think about earth should appear, I wish they would. Such as heros who keep ice in the Artic from melting down, environment keeper."
By casually speaking up about such important issues, Jin helps to give it more value among the millions of fans that respect his opinion and vision. By showing such an example, he helps the issue to get more attention from people of all ages around the whole world. Just as Jin once said: "Good influence should be shared."
Recently, Jin said that he would like to be an idol who can be called as a "model star," meaning that he wants to be a good influence for people of all ages. Over the years of being a famous superstar, Jin has been spreading only the best things and opinions with the media power he holds. His speeches always get the most attention among the public and media due to Jin being an honest, eloquent speaker that comes up with bright thoughts. These thoughts are like a guiding light for many people. Being such a kind of person himself, Jin was always preaching for everyone to be more open-minded and accepting.
I love Seokjin's mentality 🥰
