Jin started dating rumours back in 2014 in an unexpected place: his album notes. On the first three BTS albums, Jin gave a shout-out to South Korean comic Lee Gook-joo, which put ARMY members on high alert. In July 2015, the comedienne appeared on MBC's Radio Star to put the rumours
While Lee Gook-joo admitted that she once dated someone six years her junior (as Jin is), that mystery man apparently wasn't Jin. "So there's a person who I have been close to for over four years and I even cheered him on at Music Core when he debuted," she said. "BTS' Jin. We are very close. He thanked me in the 'Thanks To' section in his first three albums and fans put two and two together." Apparently, the two were only ever friends.
Jin, who is currently serving in the Korean military, does not appear to be dating anyone currently.
