A few weeks after his discharge from the army, Kim Jinhwan aka JAY, a new civilian, surprises us with a vlog of his discovery of Jeju Island.
The artist’s choice of Jeju is no coincidence, as the island is not only his birthplace, but he confides at the start of his vlog that he had watched the drama ‘When life gives you tangerines’ when he was mobilised, which inspired him to return to the island quickly.JAY wants iKONICS (iKON fandom) to discover the island during this vlog, not just the tourist spots but also the more local ones.
However, the first obstacle for the artist is his introversion.In fact, although surrounded by a small team (consisting of two people) with him, KIM JINHWAN is equipped with a small vlogging camera to follow him everywhere, using it in public and talking to it.
We leave you with the pleasure of discovering these 20 minutes of video with the artist. The subtitles posted online are only available in English, Japanese and Korean for the time being, so we don’t know whether the agency or generous fans will be doing something in other languages to reach international fans.
For the time being, we don’t know how long this vlogging mini-series based around the discovery of Jeju by a ‘son of Jeju’, JAY, will last.
We’d love to hear your first impressions of JAY returning after a two-year absence, or of his first steps as a Youtuber.
