Is BTS Jin's mother a former Miss Korea?

Photos of Miss Korea contestants from the 1970s and 80s have been circulated on online communities and social media along with rumors that Jin's mother was a former Miss Korea. However, this is not true.

This is a representative rumor stemming from Jin's distinct and beautiful features; the person in the photo is not Jin's mother, but another Miss Korea winner. Jin's family members are private citizens, and their specific personal details or faces have not been officially disclosed.

Actor Kim Gap-soo shared an anecdote on 'Jjanhan Hyung Shin Dong-yup' about coincidentally running into Jin and his mother at a restaurant. He revealed that he became an ARMY after seeing Jin politely approach and greet her, praising his mother for having a "wonderful son."

In celebration of Parents' Day in 2015, Jin released a cover of Ra.D's original song 'Mom' on SoundCloud and his blog.

Jin deeply moved many fans by conveying his gratitude and apologies to his parents through his unique beautiful voice and sincere emotional expression.
