Fan: I’m in high school, and I’m trying to purchase a backpack since I use it the most. I’m looking for one that I can use until I become a college student.

Jang Hyun Seung: Send me photos of the bags you are thinking of purchasing through DM.

The fan actually sent the photos to his DM and shared the conversation they exchanged.

Fan: (Sends photos) Which one should I buy between these two?

Jang Hyun Seung: On a serious note, just buy a Jansport.

Fan: Oppa…

Jang Hyun Seung: 1. You’ll get tired of that Burberry pattern if you use it daily 2. I think Jansports are prettier. If you really want to buy one out of those two, I say two. Buy number one when you have a lot of bags.

Fan: I’ll trust your instinct and buy the second one and use it until it gets frayed.

Jang Hyun Seung: Good!

Seeing the student’s options, even fans were hoping that they took Jang’s advice with the Jansport.
