Jin is known for being so handsome that he even looks like a real-life anime boy. Recently a fan of BTS shared that he did look like an anime character in real life. This topic keeps reoccurring on Twitter. People started bringing up pictures of Jin looking like a real-life anime character. Let's go through some moments of Jin being an inspiration for manhwa (comics) manga artists and anime fans.


One of the official nicknames of Seokjin is - Manjitnam - a guy that jumped out of the manga.

Yaongyi, the author of "True Beauty," is known for using Seokjin not even for one, but two main characters of her famous webtoon that was remade into a drama. She posted reference pictures of Jin a few times on her Instagram, and fans keep finding similarities between Jin and Suho, even identical clothing or poses.

The bandmate of Jin - Suga once said Seokjin looks exactly like a shoujo manga character.
"He has a face that looks it came straight out of a shoujo manga."



Seokjin has a tiny V-shaped face, big round glowing eyes, pink plump lips, and rosy cheeks. He is also broad like a manga character.
Let's look at some pictures demonstrating it!

There are many manhwasin which the main character looks a lot like Jin! Fans notice it frequently. But who can blame the artists for being inspired by such outstanding beauty?


He really is the anime protagonist but in real life.#방탄소년단진 #BTSJIN #SEOKJIN #진 @BTS_twt https://t.co/iBHwiGgPAp
