If being cool is a crime, then Jin of BTS should be illegal. Born in the year 1992, this global superstar and Billboard number 1 artist has catalyzed a reset on the word “cool”. With a surplus of hilarious dad jokes and an abundance of talent, Jin is the new definition of the word. His evident love for his co-members is the main factor that shows how exceedingly well he does his job as the mat hyung. While Jungkook has gained a sparkling reputation as the Golden Maknae, we mustn’t forget to give Jin the nickname of Golden Mat Hyung (we know, worldwide handsome says it all, but still!). Also, he doesn’t look a day over 18! What is your secret, Kim Seok Jin?

3. MJ of Astro
