Minnesota K-pop fans are delighting over a detail in singer-songwriter Jin's new music video.
In the music video for "Running Wild," which debuted Thursday, the South Korean star and member of boy band sensation BTS appears to be wearing a University of Minnesota sweatshirt. The fashion choice was first noticed by fans in a promotional video in October.
The maroon shirt is emblazoned with a gold M, which looks much like the U's logo. It appears around the video's 1:30-minute mark.
"I saw the clip and was like WHAT IN THE BIG TEN," Reddit user emozaffar posted on r/bangtan, a BTS subreddit.
"International army, you might not know that, but that is a Minnesota collegiate sweater," TikTok user moonchild_of_bangtan posted in a video.
The shirt is more visible in this promo video.
Jake Ricker, a University of Minnesota spokesperson, confirmed the U has licensed the block letter M design and recently approved its use by clothing brand Champion.
