"Best Voice Actor" award-winner Ahn Ji Hwan picks #BTS's #Jin as a member he would like to work with as a voice actor

More than a year ago, all of us got to see the fun content of the BTS members trying to do voice acting in the RUN BTS episode. They have been dubbing Disney cartoons and reading stories. The episode was curated by a Korean voice actor Ahn Jihwan. 

On March 16, Ahn Jihwan made an appearance on Radio Star and talked about working with BTS. He has shared some of his impressions and answered a few questions. Worth mentioning, that Ahn Jihwan is a known voice actor of South Korea who has won many awards as the "Best Voice Actor."

One of his answers got lots of attention on Twitter. Ahn Jihwan was asked about who he thinks is the member who nailed dubbing a cartoon the best:


👩🏻‍🦱Who was the best [at dubbing]?
👦🏻They're all good, but if I had to choose someone amongst them to work with as a voice actor, I think Jin was the best. He did/took it really seriously.


"Everyone did well, but if I have to handpick one from a professional perspective, it was definitely Jin."

It wasn't surprising that the actor has picked Jin because all of the fans are aware of the artist being a professional actor. Moreover, the clip of Jin dubbing Nick from the movie "Zootopia" is still going viral on various social media! He made it look like a professional dubbing and paid attention to every little detail to transform his voice into the one suiting the character's personality. Ahn Jihwan was immediately able to recognize the acting graduate who does the given work professionally. The actor also said that he could even work together with Jin.



The rest of BTS's members have also praised Jin's talent seeing a professional in him:

"He's a top-tier actor."

"You sounded like an actor from a conventional drama."

"As expected from a KU Acting Major."

"He did so well without even watching the clip."


"It sounded like you were in a play."


"Jin is truly the best actor."

When the episode was released, other voice actors like Jung Jae-heon (who dubbed Nick in the original "Zootopia") and Ahn So-yi ("Joy" from "Inside Out") complimented Jin for being such a talented professional.

If you watch a video of Jin dubbing Nick behind the scene, you can see how much work he puts into it. Every muscle of Jin's face is moving in order to transcend the emotions as well as the character's special charm and unique way of talking

As it is widely known, Jin is one of the ten students accepted into Konkuk Acting Major in 2011, while the ratio was 201:1 and into another prestigious university Sejong with a 157:1 ratio. Moreover, Jin has passed the exams and enrolled on an early admission which is even a more competitive way. Only the most gifted students can get into the final group of 10 people accepted into the acting major. Seokjin also told a story before that he's the first one who got into Konkuk from his school, about one and a half months before the College Entrance Exam. He was in Class 1 & those who are in Class 11 came up just to see who he was.

Jin has studied all kinds of acting over the seven years, and his natural talent has been getting shaped into a golden treasure. 

Aside from being good at acting, Jin can professionally do any work that a trained actor should be good at. His diction is so great and clear that he is known for it in Korea. You wouldn't be able to find a speaker better than Jin. His speech is not only easy to understand due to Jin's perfect pronunciation but also can have a certain effect on people. As an actor, Jin knows how to use the tone of his voice, where to speak softer or louder, which words he should emphasize, and not to mention his powerful charisma and magnetism. News channels of Korea usually use the cuts of Jin giving a speech when reporting about BTS.



Jin's natural speaking voice usually sounds a little high-pitched, soft, and even cute. However, he can transform it into absolutely anything else! For example, his narrating voice in the "Highlight Reels" or him voicing Nick. At the University, he had a class dedicated to acting voice and diction. This also helps Jin to convey emotions and feelings that well in his own and BTS's songs.

When looking at Jin doing the dubbing in that RUN BTS episode, it's very much noticeable how much he enjoys doing this. Anytime Jin has to use his acting skills and deep knowledge, his eyes start shining with enthusiasm. He was born for it!

No wonder that even his Konkuk professor said about Jin that he is going to become a great actor since he is very good at it.
