ARMYs can recognize Jin at a glance, whether he’s wearing a mask…

…or a disguise.

Over the years, Jin has tried out many looks, but one of his most dramatic and beloved transformations was “Blonde Jin.” Even Jin’s own mom became a Blonde Jin enthusiast — once she knew it was him!

“My mom didn’t recognize me,” Jin said, in a behind-the-scenes video. “She was like, ‘Who is this? You’re a new man. Wow, my son!'”

“She’s like, ‘Gosh, I love this, you know,” Jin went on, pleased as could be. He gave the camera (and his mom?) a double thumbs up. It seems like good taste and great humor run in the family!
