A video clip, reportedly filmed during a private staff dinner on an overseas tour, recently surfaced and went viral on Korean forums.
The clip showed BTS member Jin enjoying some downtime inside what appeared to be a restaurant, where he was filmed goofily performing the “Zero-Two” dance step.
This dance is a well-known meme and short-form video trend, particularly popular within the streaming and gaming communities globally.

The Unexpected Backlash
Despite the clearly casual and private nature of the video, it sparked an unexpected level of negative commentary on Korean discussion forums like Nate Pann.
The criticism was harsh, with some netizens calling Jin’s actions “cheap” and others ridiculing his dancing skills, calling him “stiff.”
The comments included statements like, “That’s a bit of a turn-off,” and “He’s stiff even when doing that, LOL.”
ARMYs Rally to Jin’s Defense
The negative comments triggered a fierce defense from BTS fans (ARMYs), who quickly rallied to condemn the malice and privacy invasion.
Fans pointed out that the video was taken during a private staff dinner, making the judgment excessive and unwarranted.
One highly upvoted comment directly confronted the haters, calling their actions “maliciously twisting things, spreading false narratives… and making hate comments”.
The defender labeled the critics as a “criminal group” harassing the members and expressed hope that they would face legal action.
