Jin is often praised by fans and the general public as one of the celebrities with the cleanest private life and most admirable character in the кσяєαn entertainment industry. Throughout more than a decade of promoting with BTS, the idol has been almost completely free from any major scandals related to morality, legal issues, or behavior. Even though his private life has constantly been scrutinized harshly by both the media and netizens, it is still difficult to find negative news about him.

Maintaining such a clean image for more than ten years in the complicated world of K-entertainment is certainly not easy. And Jin apparently has his own survival strategy — one that he even generously pαѕѕed down to the junior members of TXT, recently revealed by Beomgyu on television!

Specifically, Beomgyu appeared as a guest alongside Choi Daniel, Nam Gyu Ri, and Ahn Ji Young on the May 6 (KST) broadcast of Radio Star. During the show, the idol shared an interesting story about his close friendship with Jin.

When asked whether he follows any kind of “world-clαѕѕ lifestyle,” Beomgyu shared, “I’m close with BTS‘s Jin (also known as Seokjin) hyung. Seokjin hyung also likes playing games, and since I like gaming too, on my days off I always go to Seokjin hyung’s house to play games.”

According to Beomgyu, Jin gave a clear explanation of why he prefers staying in over going out. Jin advised him, "Isn't it better and risk-free to play at home rather than going out?" Regarding this, MCs Kim Gura and Yoo Se-yoon deeply sympathized with the hardships of celebrities, commenting, "It’s a practical but somewhat bittersweet story," and "People in the industry often say that going out is just an α¢¢ι∂єит waiting to happen."

Beomgyu also expressed strong agreement with his senior’s perspective. When asked whether going out wouldn’t be more fun, he immediately responded firmly, “No no no!” Even when pressed further that going outside does not necessarily mean causing trouble, he still remained cautious: "You never know what might happen in this world. I just want to play games with the senior I really adore.”

After the clip aired, many netizens were impressed by Jin’s surprisingly practical “secret.” Although it sounded simple and somewhat humorous, many agreed that it was actually realistic and smart. Even a tiny moment of being spotted anywhere can quickly turn into a major controversy on social media, especially since idols are constantly under the watch of paparazzi and the public. Most celebrity scandals or false rumors often begin from ordinary moments when they go out in public.

On the other hand, this is not the first time Jin has attracted attention for his strict principles as an idol. Previously, Kian84 shared a story that surprised many people regarding the idol’s views on dating. “There are some celebrities like that. BTS’s Jin! Even when the camera is off, he’d say, ‘I can’t date.’ I’d ask why, and he’d respond, ‘It isn’t being loyal towards the fans.’ Then I’d say, ‘Just say that in front of the public, but just date off camera,’ but he would say, ‘Hyung, no I can’t do that’”, Kian84 recounted.

Jin’s professional principles have earned admiration from many fans, but at the same time, people also cannot help feeling heartbroken seeing how restricted he is under the label of being an idol. Fans widely commented after Beomgyu’s story about Jin aired:

- It's cute they are close, but so sad due to stalkers and people they can't freely go wherever and whenever they want

- Jin seems like a really good person who looks out for others . He really doesn’t want to see anyone who is close with end up on the wrong path

- Their friendship is beautiful but d*mn.... he knows how cruel and invasive some ppl can be whenever they're outside

- It makes me so happy they have each other (moarmy heart is screaming in happiness) but also sad they have to consider risks when going out. I hope they never feel trapped by their jobs as idols

- I agreed. That's why Jin is scandal & problem free. He's cautious about things, but it doesn't mean he can't enjoy his time his own way

- He learned so well from his jin hyung , you'd never find jin cause trouble outside even if he's going out he chooses his places carefully we don't even know about it. Mature senior who knows how to keep his privacy

- This is one of the reasons why Seokjin remains unproblematic and scandal-free. He carries himself wisely even if it comes at the price of his personal freedom. Like I've always felt, Jin has fully embraced the superstar idol life, happily. He isnt f1ghting against it

- Also it's sad to see that they prefer staying home while not being go out on breaks bcz how fcked up outside world is for idols or celebrities in general
