It is a Korean industry standard for the K-pop idol groups to dwell in the same dorm room while they are practising and training for a debut. Similarly, BTS members as well stayed at their dormitory in Seoul before they officially debuted in June 2013. In the past, videos from their dormitory have been shared. In the videos, the members are seen helping each other cook, clean and even care for each other. BTS Jin specifically was the only member to hold a proper driver’s license during their pre-debut days.

Jin was responsible back in the days to drive the members to anything important in the absence of a manager. Thus BTS’ Jin drove Jungkook to school as the latter was still a minor and could not drive. BTS Jin even attended the youngest member’s graduation ceremony with other members which was shared in one of their BTS' Bangtan Bomb videos on YouTube. According to some reports in Korean media portal AllKpop, Jungkook was the shy one in the group and was ‘basically raised by Jin and Namjoon’. He was welcomed to the group by Jin and leader Namjoon.
