Jin from BTS has recently been chosen as the global model for Otoki Jin Ramen. Otoki 'Jin' Ramen has been around for a long time since 1988. When it first came out, the brand only had two types of ramen: JIN Ramen Mild and JIN Ramen Spicy. Over the years, Otaki Jin Ramen has developed a few other flavors for those with different tastebuds to enjoy.

The appointment of BTS' Jin as the global model happened on February 26, 2025. Pop Base took to X to share the announcement made by the brand. As expected, ARMYs and ramen fans shared their thoughts about the collaboration in the comments.

This is what one fan had to say,

"Perfect match. Jin and ramen both have global appeal, and this just takes it to another level. Smart move by Otoki." - @Fityeth wrote.

After the announcement was made, Pop Base reshared the announcement on their X account. Fans were excited to see Jin working with the brand.

Have a look at some of their comments:

One fan confirmed they will purchase more of the Otoki Jin Ramen when made available in stores. They wrote,

"The way his first BA with jin ramen gave them their highest profits ever, he’s coming to do it again and we will be buying" - @chibiseokjini stated.

Another user acknowledged that Jin is growing in popularity. They commented,

"JIN is the new star" - @Clear_Nama declared.

One fan expressed how Jin's previous collaboration with the brand brought them great sales, which is why they are partnering up again. Their comment reads,

"His first jin ramen campaign was a huge success, they had to do it again JIN OTOKI GLOBAL MODEL #JinxOTOKI #JinxJinRamen" - @onlyforseokjini wrote.

Another X user commented on the perfect pairing,

"Jin’s global influence keeps growing perfect match for Otoki Jin Ramen." - @deep_thinking30 said.

BTS' Jin fan commented playfully,

"So we’re all eating Jin Ramen exclusively now, right?" - @FramesOfWisdom asked.

However, some are not a fan of Jin being the face of a food brand. These are some of the comments,

"We don’t care" - @harryshouse3 commented.
"I don’t know why people like Ramen" - @IngridDiazactor added.
"Food products shouldn't have models or ambassadors representing them. Let people choose based on the product itself." - @TayoPSG elaborated.

Netizens have mixed reactions to the announcement of Otoki Jin Ramen's new global face. Jin from BTS has worked with them in the past and has boosted company sales. It makes sense for them to choose Jin again.
