Jin didn’t forget to root on the movie and flashed a card that said, “Hunt, fighting.”

In the interview with Wikitree, Jung Woo Sung explained how he had become friends with Jin, who is 19 years his junior, and how they started calling each other Chairman.

We met by coincidence at a private place. At first, I didn’t recognize him and wondered who he was until he greeted me, saying he was BTS’s Jin. I then immediately apologized and joked, ‘Of course, I know you, Chairman Jin. I’ve always recognized you when you were with your members.’ And that is how Jin and I started referring to one another as Chairman Jung and Chairman Jin.

Jung Woo Sung then revealed Jin’s response to being invited to Hunt’s movie premier.

When I invited him (Jin) to the premiere, he replied, ‘Maybe I will attend after all since Chairman Jung invited me personally.’
