Jin was one of the attendees at J-Hope's "Jack in the Box" listening party, alongside his fellow BTS members and other K-pop artists. However, fans were only able to catch a glipse of the "worldwide handsome" idol at the event. Continue reading to know why.
Jin Reveals Reason Why He Was Hardly Seen at J-Hope's "Jack in the Box" Listening Party
On July 14, J-Hope threw a "Jack in the Box" listening party at HYBE headquarters, and several artists in the Korean entertainment industry were in attendance. From the Korean hip-hop legends Tiger JK and Yoon Mi Rae to top-tier solo artists HyunA, DAWN, BIBI, and Jessi. In addition, BIGBANG Taeyang and veteran idol and actress Uhm Jung Hwa were also spotted at the event.
Of course, five of J-Hope's fellow BTS members were among the attendees: Jimin, Jungkook, RM, V, and Jin.
Suga's appearance hasn't been confirmed, but fans believe they may have seen him in the background of a picture from the party.

Some fans also doubted Jin's appearance at the event as he was difficult to spot among the crowd. One TikTok video shows the BTS members mingling with other guests and having fun on the dance floor- and Jin was not one of them.

After J-Hope's "Jack in the Box" listening party ended, Jin took to Weverse to communicate with some fans. He replied to a fan's post where the fan offered to clean at the event to score an invite. In his reply, he confirmed he was also there and revealed why finding him at the party was hard.
Jin said, "I went there too, but I was (only) listening to all the songs and watching webtoons in the corner, so I didn't take a single picture."

In response to his message, one fan expressed disbelief that Jin would be just in the corner of a party reading a webtoon, but the BTS member assured them it was true. He explained that he only knew Bang PD (Bang Si Hyuk) and Pdogg, so he was "hiding."
Jin also said to a fan that he left J-Hope's "Jack in the Box" listening party after hearing all of the songs from the album and has since been playing games.
In addition to his comments on Weverse, Jin posted pictures of himself taken in front of J-Hope's "Jack in the Box" photo wall as proof of him attending the party.
Jin's candid reply proves that he is BTS' biggest introvert. It looks like it can be hard to socialize at a party, even if you're a worldwide superstar like Jin.
