Fans of BTS, affectionately known as ARMY, have been buzzing with excitement after witnessing their cherished member Jin enjoy curry rice in the traditional Indian manner—using his hands. This memorable moment occurred on the Korean reality show Kian’s Bizarre BnB, which aired on April 15, 2025.
During the episode, host Kian, known for his playful antics and entertaining chaos, humorously suggested to Jin that the most authentic way to savor the curry and rice was to forgo utensils and eat with bare hands. While fellow guest Ji Ye-eun expressed hesitation and questioned Kian’s advice, Jin confidently rolled up his sleeves and embraced the experience like a true connoisseur of Indian cuisine.
This endearing display by Jin has prompted Desi ARMY members to take to social media in a frenzy, with some even humorously calling for the issuance of an Aadhar Card for the 32-year-old idol, as they consider him “half desi” now.
One fan expressed on X (formerly Twitter), “As an Indian, I’m dying watching Jin trying to figure out how to eat with his hands!” Another noted, “Kian84 even mentions INDIA while eating with bare hands and even sleeping on those railway beds.” One ARMY member jokingly remarked, “That man is never touching chopsticks, forks, or spoons again!” In discussing future endeavors, BTS’ Jin informed Kian that he is preparing to release his next solo album, “Echo,” set to debut on May 16, which will serve as a follow-up to his first solo album, “Happy,” released in November 2024.
