BTS‘s Jin is literally a Webtoon character IRL.
Jin isn’t called “Worldwide Handsome” for nothing.
So, it’s not surprising that he has inspired several Webtoon characters.
Speaking of webtoons, remember when a popular cartoonist was asked who among boyband idols would he like to base his webtoon main character from and he said Seokjin? His face and built is a dream! #SuperTuna_Jin #Yours_Jin #BTSJIN #BTS @BTS_twt pic.twitter.com/S0OepjL6U0

Most famously, he is the alleged inspiration behind True Beauty‘s male lead Suho…
He also has had multiple Webtoon characters explicitly modeled after him with BTS’s Webtoons WE ON : BE THE SHIELD, SAVE ME, and, most recently, 7FATES: CHAKHO.
With the latter’s release, ARMYs were conflicted on whether or not the characters looked like the members.
I don’t know what the webtoon is trying to do… they’re using BTS for promo but the character names ares different and the actual drawings don’t look like them? 😅 I guess we’ll have to find out

these character designs are good! but I don’t think it feels like BTS?? like I think the save me webtoon did a better job at making them look like the members

Jin’s most noticeable features are his thick eyebrows and big lips. and once you take those elements off his design he starts to look like a whole different person! that’s why I think his save me design hit the mark so well pic.twitter.com/5tCi8j51H7

Still, everyone agreed he was handsome AF, and many confessed to having simped over the character, Hwan.
#HWAN character description: He had a slim face and reddish-brown eyes as well as a sharp nose and plush, red lips.

Now, Jin is proving just how much he and Hwan really look alike!
On September 11, Jin traveled from South Korea to Los Angeles, California, presumably to work on his solo album KSJ1.
ARMYs were in awe of Jin’s new look. He showcased his fluffy auburn hair.

Some wondered what the new style reminded them of, only to realize it was technically Jin himself!
I knew he reminded me of some webtoon hero – Hwan- his own character in 7Fates

Jin’s new look greatly resembles his Webtoon character’s design in 7FATES: CHAKHO.

Some even suggested that Jin resembles the main character of yet another Webtoon. Could Jin possibly bring to life Under the Oak Tree‘s Riftan Calypse if ever adapted for K-Drama?
This fluffy hairstyle of Seokjin is resembling with "Riftan" of "Under the oak tree" Manhwa
Seokjin's aura & his main character/protagonist halo is astonishing. He appears to be straight out of webtoon!!

Jin’s visuals are truly no joke. He is so handsome he is really a Webtoon character come to life.
