BTS member Jin has attracted attention during the group's recent concerts in Santiago, Chile, where fans praised his live performances, appearance, and unexpected choice of traditional clothing.
BTS held three concerts at Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Prádanos in Santiago as part of their ARIRANG world tour, with performances taking place on October 15, 17, and 18, Korean time.
Throughout the concerts, Jin received enthusiastic responses from local audiences, with fans expressing their excitement both at the venue and across social media.
One of the most noticeable reactions came when Chilean fans shouted "Mijito Rico" toward Jin during the performances.
The Spanish expression is an affectionate compliment often used to describe an attractive man. The phrase became one of the ways local fans expressed their admiration for the BTS member.
According to Korean media reports, Jin's appearance and live singing attracted considerable attention during the three concert dates.
However, it was not only his performances that caught fans' interest.
Jin also drew attention after wearing a light purple traditional Chilean outfit that he reportedly selected himself.
The clothing quickly became a popular item among fans, with reports claiming that it sold out following his appearance.
Even after the product was restocked, it reportedly continued selling out, reflecting the interest generated by Jin's fashion choice.
The moment highlighted how a simple clothing choice during an international concert could attract attention beyond the stage.
Jin's popularity in Chile was also reflected in several social media trends throughout BTS' visit.
During the first concert, phrases such as "SANTIAGO BRILLA PARA JIN," meaning "Santiago shines for Jin," appeared among trending topics on X, formerly Twitter, alongside fan hashtags celebrating his performance.
On the second concert date, fans shared messages including "JIN FLORECE COMO UN COPIHUE," meaning "Jin blooms like a copihue flower."
The copihue is Chile's national flower, making the message a locally inspired expression of admiration for the singer.
During the third concert, another phrase, "JIN TRAE FELICIDAD A CHILE," meaning "Jin brings happiness to Chile," also appeared in online discussions.
These messages reflected the attention Jin received from fans throughout the group's visit.
In addition to fan activities, Chile's Investigative Police, known as PDI, featured a life-sized standee of Jin in a safety awareness campaign shared through its official Instagram account.
The unusual appearance of the BTS member's image in a public safety campaign also became another point of interest during the group's time in Chile.
Together, the concert reactions, social media trends, and interest in Jin's clothing demonstrated the enthusiasm surrounding his visit.
Jin, who is known for his vocals and stage presence, continues to participate in BTS' international performances as the group travels across South America for its ARIRANG world tour.
Following their concerts in Chile, BTS moved on to Argentina.
The group completed its first performance at Estadio Único de La Plata near Buenos Aires on October 22, with additional concerts scheduled for October 24 and 25.
While BTS continues its tour, Jin's reception in Chile has become a memorable highlight, particularly because of the local fans' affectionate nickname, enthusiastic online messages, and interest in the traditional outfit he wore.
For Chilean fans, the three Santiago concerts offered another opportunity to see Jin perform live, while the singer's fashion choice and interaction with local culture added a special touch to the group's visit.
