One’s true nature is often revealed in extreme states of intoxication. The "classy drunken moments" shown by BTS member Jin (Kim Seok-jin) on rapper Lee Young-ji’s web variety show continue to be hailed as a "legendary episode" by fans, garnering an explosive response even now.
■ Rediscovering the word 'Dangshin' (You)... A tightrope walk between politeness and fluttering hearts A past video of Jin’s appearance on Lee Young-ji’s "My Alcohol Diary" has gone viral again. In the video, Jin drinks Kaoliang liquor with an alcohol content of 58 degrees while conversing with Lee. Despite the high proof that would leave most adult men disoriented after just one glass, Jin maintained a steady posture and his signature gentle speech throughout, drawing admiration.
Particularly noteworthy was Jin’s use of the word 'Dangshin' (a formal/poetic form of 'You') to address Lee Young-ji. In Korean, 'Dangshin' can sometimes sound aggressive or rude, but Jin delivered it with an extremely polite yet witty tone. Lines like "I'm not scared, because you ('dangshin') are going to eat it all" and "I want you ('dangshin') to be ready to get scolded" showed the essence of 'Jin-style Confucian speech,' combining respect with a heart-fluttering vibe.
■ "Handsome visuals, competitive skills"... Genius instincts proven through Halli Galli The chemistry between the two peaked during a game of Halli Galli. When Lee Young-ji provoked him by underestimating his skills, Jin threw a cute warning: "Do you want to get scolded by alcohol?"
As the game began, the situation flipped. Jin displayed overwhelming reflexes and concentration, dominating the game despite his intoxication. Even after winning, he chose to politely let her go first instead of gloating, proving why he is an 'integrity star' loved by fans worldwide. Fans reacted with comments like, "Worldwide Handsome face, but gambler-level hand speed" and "Manners are just ingrained in him even when drunk."
■ Sharp observation that allows no tricks... "Don't spill it secretly" Jin’s charm didn't stop at kindness. He immediately caught Lee Young-ji’s attempt to secretly spill her drink while pretending to be drunk, pointing out, "I'd appreciate it if you didn't pretend and secretly spill it." This highlight shows that Jin isn't just going with the flow but is a sharp player who accurately understands and leads the entertainment rhythm.
■ Why the public is enthusiastic... 'Most human, yet most noble' The drunken banter ended with Jin’s witty closing remarks, earning the title of an all-time great episode. The reason the public is crazy about this video isn't just because a world star is drinking. It’s because they confirmed Jin’s 'human dignity'—how he cares for others, maintains manners, and keeps his humor even under the extreme condition of 58-degree liquor.
