BTS member Jin is the first member to return from the military. The Kpop idol shared fun stories from his military days. He got angry once, treated his squad to food, and was nicknamed "God"! They even cried when he left. Here is everything what Jin told the Weverse Magazine:

BTS Jin Referred To As 'God' In Military

Jin said, “A lot of them were just turning 19 and never even had a job before, but I’m a lot more financially stable, so I’d say, 'You gotta eat well to stay healthy. Come on, I’ll treat you,' and pay for their food. I bought them so much fried chicken, jokbal, and pizza, that later on they got sick of them. I even took people from other barracks out to have barbecue. Sometimes the guys would joke around and say, 'Sergeant Kim, did you do anything other than sleep today?' And then I’d say, 'What barracks are you from? I was gonna buy you dinner tonight, but not anymore. You’re not coming with me!' Then they’d say, 'Sorry, sir!' We just goofed around like that, and I’d buy them all dinner anyways. (laughs) That made people in my squad call me a god, not to brag. As soon as they saw me, they’d say, 'Worship him!' (laughs)."

Talking about the incident when he got angry, Jins went on to state, “I’ve been in the entertainment industry for 10 years already, and there’s still tons I don’t know. I make mistakes—everybody does. There was only one time I lost my temper. One soldier did something wrong but kept joking around and saying, 'I’ll figure it out myself, sir' and I told him, 'It’s okay if you make mistakes. It’s not like I know everything. I make mistakes, too. But if a senior soldier tells you to do something, you have to at least pretend to listen. You can’t keep goofing around like that. I get it—everyone’s different. But you at least have to figure out why you made that mistake. I’ll tell you how to do it one more time, so don’t mess around anymore'."

Jin also remembered his emotional discharge from the military. The whole barracks cried when he left, not just because he was a good senior, but also because he was very popular!
