Find out why Jin revealed that he can’t issue orders to the other members of BTS even though he’s the oldest in the group
In South Korea, hierarchy in social relations is widely respected, with the use of honorifics adopted to show respect. Thus, it is common to notice in k-pop groups the use of the adjective “unnie” by younger members when referring to another older member, or “hyung” used by younger idols in relation to older ones, as happens on BTS, where RM, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook always add the word when talking about Jin.
A recent example happened during a live broadcast of J-Hopesince the voice of “Arson” recalled that the first solo album of Jin“Happy”, will be released on November 15, stating that he wishes the best for “Jin Hyung”.
“Jin’s new album will be released soon, so I’m looking forward to that too [o lançamento do disco]! I want the best for Jin Hyung,” said J-Hope.
Even though Jin is the oldest member of the group, and is addressed by honorifics by the other members of the septet, he stated in an appearance on YouTube channel “Hal Myung Soo” by Park Myung Sooheld in September 2022, who is unable to order his members — and the detail behind the lack of orders coming from him is somewhat curious!

But at least they use honorifics.”
Right away, park asked if Jin I was able to discipline members, advising them to do something differently than they are already doing. About this, The voice of “The Astronaut” revealed that he is unable to issue orders like this to the septet because he feels that the other members’ skills are better than his.

Park Myung Soo: How can we be so similar?
