Hello! Today I want to talk about an aspect of Jin's role as BTS's *official* visual that I don't see mentioned a lot: it's not only about his looks but also how he is seen and how that, in turn, influences the perception of the group. #BTS

But first, Jin's looks are #worldwidehandsome. This is not up for debate. He trended for getting out of a car, standing in the third spot from the left, crying during an award acceptance speech, and many more! He is incomparable when it comes to piquing non-fan's interest in BTS.
And, adding onto that, Jin's good looks are described as refined/gentle/kind and not really a "bad boy," thereby having wider appeal across different age groups. He's called the nation's son-in-law and trended as "great guy." Wholesome is marketable and by extension, so is BTS!
Now, let's get to it. Jin's personality and temperament raise the perception of the group as a whole.
From the start, he chose not to enforce his authority as the eldest (and still doesn't), improving group dynamics as it lessened the pressure of adhering to social hierarchy.

It's so he wouldn't challenge/conflict with RM's role as a leader. Which then communicates to the public/media that they're working together toward a common and greater goal, that they're a unit and not a group of individuals - values that are highly prized in Asian culture.
BTS members note that Jin's presence is calming and being around him makes them feel better. It's a quality only he has. This may not translate in photos/videos but it has weight in real life! People will be more receptive to BTS because of how Jin is able to put them at ease!
In the early day, he was the only one attending university, a prestigious one he was enrolled in prior to joining BigHit. Asian culture places a lot of importance on academics. Jin's pursuit of higher education is seen as a positive trait and motivated others to do the same.
It's not talked about much in Western media but Jin has impeccable manners and is very personable. He's able to respectfully charm those around him and put them at ease without appearing rude. This then guides his group's interaction, and improves how they're perceived.
Over the years, Jin's confidence of and comfort with himself really grew! He's admitted that complimenting himself feels awkward but also that it's effective and recommends it. He learns and lives the "love yourself" with his fans, bringing authenticity to BTS's message.
Being a visual is more than good looks! This Korean idiom sums it up well: Upstream water has to be clear for downstream water to be clear. By being the amazing person he is, Jin has set a great example for his members to follow, boosting BTS's brand as a whole!
In conclusion, while Jin is worldwide handsome and has a sculpted/perfect/golden ratio face, he is BTS's official visual for his kindness, intelligence, character, determination, and confidence! And there is no one else more perfect for this role than Jin!
Okay. One more. BTS has always commended Jin for his consistent effort and hard work but I feel it's worth mentioning that the photos I've chosen span years and over that entire period of time, his visual quality has remained consistent too!! Aging? Jin doesn't know her.
Jobin said because of Jin, he realized "why BTS is so popular and loved."
Jin's kindness adds a layer to BTS's success - they're more than hardworking idols, they are also good people. He's excellent at representing BTS because he is an excellent person.

Variety shows are valuable promotional opportunities. When Jin goes, he always leaves good impressions! The SK President remembered Jin and JK from Let's Eat Dinner Together that aired a year ago (0:44). The power of a visual representing his group well!
Lastly (for now...), BTS is a SK group. In SK, they used his clips to report the group's success because, to them, he is the face of BTS. The official visual recognized by their home country for not only his handsomeness but also his impeccable character. https://twitter.com/jin_jellies/status/1297045919418916865
