As reports pouring in on twitter of Jin's fan events in Osaka and Tokyo on 8/22 and 8/23, many have cited the increasing numbers of fanboys seen in line and in the audience. Fans have said the number of fanboys are about 10% of attendees. Even Jin was surprised at the increasing number of fanboys. He also said he was also surprised at his single Hey What's Up sold 115,000 copies in the first week and even the Jimusho was surprised too. Here are some excerpts from fan reports when Jin greeted his fanboys:

Male fan #1: Homo janai yo!(I'm not gay)
Jin: (･ﾟ∀ﾟ)It's alright! I'm not against it or anything, I also have friends who are gay.
Male fan #2: I love you!
Jin: (･ﾟ∀ﾟ)Sorry, but I'm not gay. (TN: LMAO this troll)]

The fanboys also told Jin they want to learn English and study abroad like him
