When the post was shared, fans in the comments offered their congratulations. On Twitter, they shared their love for the couple and their newest arrival and shared how excited they are to see “Uncle Jin” interact with his nephew.
In particular, one ARMY shared how although the name shared was Kim Sun, it might be “Kim Seon” as in an interview from their early days as a group, Jin explained that, for the next generation in their family, they have to use “Seon.”
Throughout the time Jin’s sister-in-law was pregnant, he proved to be the perfect person. Aside from helping to choose the baby’s nickname, Jin made sure to deliver her some of the famous “Jin” strawberries.
In a post, Jin’s brother revealed that his wife was craving strawberries. So, being a thoughtful brother-in-law, Jin delivered them himself, thus curing his sister-in-law’s craving.
Because the pregnant woman wanted to eat these, a very precious person personally delivered the strawberries themselves. So freaking delicious!!

Hopefully, it won’t be long until ARMYs are treated to some interactions between Uncle Jin and baby Sun. He will undoubtedly be an amazing uncle and take care of his nephew if his brother or sister-in-law ever needs a break with his playful and caring personality.
