Leave it to Kim Seokjin to casually dodge a thirst trap while staying funnier and classier than everyone else in the room. Recently, BuzzFeed Celeb spilled that BTS’s Jin hilariously swerved a “thirst tweet” segment pitch that was pitched to him—yes, the same chaotic format that turns into “who can out-cringe who” among celebs reading tweets about themselves.
While SEVENTEEN recently went viral for bravely (and hilariously) reading their thirst tweets, ARMY collectively sighed in relief when learning Jin did not walk that same path. Because let’s be honest, the world is not ready for the chaos of Seokjin reading fan thirst tweets with a straight face while dropping dad jokes in between.
What Actually Happened?
BuzzFeed Celeb revealed in a post that they pitched the thirst tweet reading segment to Jin, and it didn’t happen. No specific details on how he declined, but knowing Jin, it probably came with a giggle, a worldwide handsome wink, and him moving on to eat shrimp somewhere in peace.
Instead, ARMY got to watch SEVENTEEN absolutely lose it while reading their own thirst tweets, with that video alone pulling in over 5.7 million views on YouTube within days.
Fans: “Thank God, Jin!”
ARMYs wasted zero time flooding social media with reactions like:
“Thank God Jin didn’t do it, I would have to delete my existence from embarrassment.”
“Seokjin choosing peace and shrimp over chaos, as he should.”
It’s that perfect mix of relief, second-hand embarrassment, and undeniable curiosity over what chaos could have ensued if Jin actually had agreed.
Why This Is So Jin
- Boundaries, but with humor: Jin knows exactly what to engage with while protecting his peace (and the sanity of ARMY).
- Fun without oversharing: He’s hilarious without needing to cross lines or engage with cringe content.
- The timing: With Jin’s “RunSeokjin” EP and tour selling out domes in under 24 hours, we really don’t need thirst tweet chaos to overshadow his well-earned musical comeback.
Final Thoughts: Let Jin Eat Shrimp in Peace
The thirst tweet segment might be a rite of passage for many idols and actors, but for Jin, skipping it is peak “worldwide handsome” energy. It’s a reminder that Seokjin remains effortlessly funny without relying on shock content, and ARMY is perfectly content letting him keep that boundary while we all collectively breathe a sigh of relief.
TL;DR:
- BuzzFeed Celeb pitched a thirst tweet segment to BTS’s Jin, but he didn’t do it.
- SEVENTEEN recently went viral for doing the same segment, pulling over 5.7M views.
- ARMY is hilariously relieved, saying “Thank God Jin didn’t do it,” while also low-key curious about what it would’ve been like.
- Jin continues to prove you can stay fun, classy, and in control of your image while giving fans exactly what they need: unbothered king energy.
Jin said “no” to chaos, “yes” to shrimp, and “yes” to himself—and we’re all grateful for it.
