BTS's Jin is seen wearing a band or character t-shirt with a vintage design, combined with a leather jacket with lots of details such as studs (small nails) on the jacket. For the bottom, Jin wears leather pants with chains as accessories.
Completing his look with messy hair and a half-empty casual expression, giving off a cool and bad boy vibe. The choice of accessories such as necklaces, double belts and several rings, all support the impression of a rebel and unconventional lifestyle.
The graffiti wall background reinforces the street (urban) impression. Graffiti itself is often associated with free expression and subculture. Soft lighting (not too bright) makes the nuance of the photo feel cool and edgy.
Kim Seok Jin appeared different from what fans expected from the oldest member of BTS. Sharp criticism was leveled by some netizens who considered Jin too old to do such a concept. One of the many malicious comments is the following.
"He looks like someone who is 50 years old but tries hard to look like he is 25 but still looks like he is over 40," said X account @botso. Following the negative comments regarding age discrimination, it immediately became a hot topic on Reddit.
Fans were quick to defend BTS's Jin, "It's just because they hate BTS and they want to get likes from other accounts that hate BTS. They troll anything they can, and age discrimination is rampant in Kpop so they exploit it.
Jin looks great by the way and they can still be mad about it," one Reddit user responded. "Gen Z is so obsessed with age, it's weird. Only online have I ever seen someone over 25 called a grandma. 32 is not old, why do K-pop fans think that after 30 you deserve to stay at home?
I understand they're against it, but it's weird how age is so important to a certain generation," said another. Fans discussed how age discrimination always seems to be an issue and others explained that it also happens because Jin is in BTS and how the members are always the victims of unfair criticism.
