Jin's influence in the media sphere continues to soar, even during his long absence from social media due to his military service.

At the recent episode of SBS show 'Strong Heart League,' Korean tennis legend Lee Hyung-Taik mentioned Jin while jokingly talking about his impact on the popularity of tennis among celebrities. Lee Hyung-taik is the first Korean player to reach the round of 16 at the US Open and played against Pete Sampras.

For the past two years, Jin has passionately pursued tennis as his hobby, dedicating time to hone his skills. He even built a special bond with his trainer, who admitted being a huge fan of Jin's music and constantly posts IG stories listening to it. 

Being naturally athletic and hardworking, Jin quickly became an excellent player in tennis. He has been uploading videos of himself playing and professional players highly praised the way he moves. 

Tennis frequently gets associated with Jin since he even attended the Casper Rud-Nicholas Jerry match in Seoul last year.

So a Korean tennis legend Lee Hyung-taik could not miss a chance of talking about Jin in his interview:

👤:Tennis emperor Lee HyungTaek!


🗣️:The legend!


👤:Tennis has recently been gaining a tremendous amount of popularity on TV and also as daily sports!

(Heard u said) the current popularity for tennis is all thanks to you! 
👦🏻:Many from the entertainment scene started playing tennis thank to my contribution, and I play with some of them. I bet some others would also want to meet me but didn't get a chance to.
👤:Who?
👦🏻:BTS Jin too. Wouldn't he want to meet me if he is into playing tennis?
🗣️:What an absurd reasoning of ur own!😂

It seems like Lee Hyung-taik is hinting Jin that he should contact him after discharging!
