JIN of K-pop mega group BTS surely brightened up his fans’ weekend with his updates on Instagram.
The member treated ARMY with 10 new photos of him taken from his quick vacation from the military, where he was seen posing with a jar of traditional liquor that he brewed himself and visiting the MapleStory pop-up store in Seoul.
The singer is a fan of MapleStory, a free-to-play side-scrolling massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) run by South Korean video game company Nexon.
In August 2022, the video game company collaborated with Jin and shared his resume on X, where it was stated that he applied for the position of a “MapleStory game designer.”
Jin, on the other hand, shared his Nexus company ID on Instagram and said that he joined a major company.
The K-pop idol was then added as a non-player character (NPS) in his favorite video game.
This was not the first time Jin collaborated with the MMORPG. In June 2021, MapleStory named Jin as its final judge in its first-ever character design contest, Golden Hands Awards.
They also teamed up in 2020 when MapleStory released limited-edition game items designed by BTS members Jin, RM, Suga, J-hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook.
Members’ updates
Jin’s October 14 Instagram post was his first update to the ARMY in two months, after his last post on August 6 where he attended Suga’s “D-Day” world tour in Seoul with J-Hope and RM.
Suga is the latest BTS member who started his mandatory service in South Korea in September, following J-Hope and Jin.
RM and Jimin surprised ARMY in a Weverse live, where they celebrated the latter’s 28th birthday on October 13.
V, meanwhile, recently appeared in a new episode of variety show “Jinny’s Kitchen,” along with actors Lee Seo-jin, Jung Yumi, Choi Woo-shik, and Park Seo-Joon.
The group’s youngest member, Jungkook, has also been making headlines with the forthcoming release of his first full-length solo album “Golden.”
