a short but heartwarming thread of seokjin's interactions with his father.

or: glimpses into the past that show us how jin grew up to be spectacular human he is. ❤️

his dad has always encouraged him to be helpful to others and we see jin's sincerity in his actions (e.g. quietly donating to unicef for a year and only accepting the honors club membership because he hopes it'll inspire others to do good too) #진 https://twitter.com/seokjinstapes/status/992511205620273153
this is a straight-forward and practical approach!

which we see in jin's preference for songwriting (as he said in his be-hind story interview). simple words can still convey complex feelings and jin's lyrics are always very heartfelt and genuine, #진
jin's dad being affection caught my attention because in general, asian parents aren't very affectionate, especially not dads (for me and my friends).

studies show children who grew up with more affection are more resilient, which we know jin is. #진 https://twitter.com/JlNSONYEONDAN/status/1193127126116917249
the fact that this is what jin wanted shows he already had an awareness of being part of a bigger world. likely because of his dad and that he sees his dad as someone who has an understanding of society.

role models are important in a child's life! #진

this also reminds me of when hobi shared that jin talks to him mom about finances and how he scolds her for spending too much 😂

it's good for families to talk about various things (fun and serious) because these are good bonding/educational moments. #진
spending quality time together is so beneficial for children! it's wonderful that his dad prioritizes physical activity/sports where practice is needed to develop the skill.

which fosters a growth mindset and work ethic that jin is known for. #진

side note: self-compassion is a part of developing/having a growth mindset, which jin has inspired in his members.

“the theme of ‘love yourself’ show that it didn't develop overnight, but that it was started by jin inside bts.” #진

thank you for the warm response & I have a few more to add!

kids learn best through activities, like volunteer work. jin's dad taught him that they are part of a community and they can and should do their part to help.

and, more importantly, to do it with love! #진
jin said once he wants to be like his dad (i.e. daily routine of going to work/coming home) and his family has a precise routine.

routines help teach time management skills, a big part of how jin attended and graduated from university while debuting and working as an idol. #진
jin's dad likes to cook and taught jin how to cook (must be why he was so good at making egg roll on "let's eat dinner together" 😂).

jin's family doesn't prescribe to the gender stereotype of women being the ones who cook. everyone in the family contributes as a team. #진
and as we all know: teamwork make the dream work. @BTS_twt #진
