Since being discharged from the military, Jin has been attracting sponsorships and deals, with the most recent announcement being that he has become the brand model for Dongwon Tuna canned tuna. Following the announcement, a fan shared all of the idol’s achievements in a post on Weverse.

Another fan then shared an edit showing all the members’ ambassadorship and deals, but in the past, these kind of pictures have been used to compare and shade idols, although the ARMY probably meant no harm.

Jin saw the post and responded, making it clear that the number of ads or deals each member has is their own choice.

Ah.. I just did a lot of them, but the others have dozens or even hundreds of ad offers too.

They’re just choosing not to do them.
Because I’ve turned down more than dozens myself…

I think I won’t be taking on more (though if something I really like suddenly comes up, I might change my mind).

Although the OP probably meant no harm, netizens loved how Jin was quick to promote his members and emphasize that they have less because they haven’t been asked but rather the control and freedom each member has in picking their own offers.

Aww! Anytime I’ve seen this graphic I’ve viewed it simply as a clear picture of their brands and never as a comparison. I knew that every member handpicks the brands they work with. I love that he cleared that up in case anyone took it that way. He’s the best Hyung!! https://t.co/r6ZxqPZm7r

Seokjin: We are ALL awesome and in demand
I love how he’s not giving any chance for others to discredit the other members. The man that you are Mr. Kim Seokjin https://t.co/533OeXiSbq

If you are not getting the message, he’s saying: dont pit us against each other.
He also said before just because they dont post greetings online it means there’s something there.
Pls! Jin has been so clear that he doesn’t like when people assume negative things between them. https://t.co/54veHWZO5O
