In the Korean entertainment industry, the phenomenon of "street casting" refers to the discovery of potential idols and talents through chance encounters in public places.
Among the countless stories of aspiring stars being scouted, one name has consistently risen to the top in the eyes of Korean netizens - BTS member Jin. With his captivating visuals, unique talents, and incredible journey to stardom, Jin has become the epitome of the most legendary street casting ever.
Many, if not all, BTS fans are aware of Jin's casting story. He was discovered by Big Hit Entertainment (Now HYBE) employee as he was getting off the bus on his commute to college. What's unique about Jin is that he began his trainee period after he had already turned 20.
After debuting with the group, Jin has constantly been in the limelight for his exceptional visuals. Even today, Korean netizens deem Jin's street casting as legendary.
Korean netizens commented, "He's so good-looking," "His mandatory military photo is so crazy," "His street casting is really legendary," "I want to see him in person too," "He just so handsome in all angles," "There are no bad photos of Jin," "How can a person look so perfect?" "So crazy," "I forgot he doesn't even have makeup on for the military photos," "He looks so surreal," "I agree. Legendary," and "He is really handsome for sure."
What’s truly legendary is that he was street casted TWICE!! The first time he didn’t call the company back bc he thought it was a scam but then the second time it was BigHit. Jin must be insanely handsome.
