Trivia

Jin made a minor appearance in the movie 2 Fast 2 Furious as a mechanic named Jimmy. His song "Peel Off" was featured on the 2 Fast 2 Furious soundtrack.

Jin has a tattoo on his neck of his given name written in Chinese (靖).

On January 17, 2005, a New York-based radio station, Hot 97, caused controversy when they released a song, "USA for Indonesia", making a joke out of the 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake, and was notably offensive especially to Asian Americans. It was then followed by an argument between shock jock Miss Jones and co-host Todd Lynn against Asian American co-host Miss Info, who was trying to distance herself from the joke. Jin immediately wrote a song in protest to Miss Jones, called Fuck the Tsunami Song.

The legendary DJ Kool Herc, who is credited as the founder of Hip Hop, appears in Jin's latest music video, "Top 5 (Dead or Alive)".

He has also collaborated with British Punjabi Indian singer Juggy D on the single "Come Closer".

Jin held the Fight klub battle championship until he lost the title and a $10,000 purse to challenger Serius Jones.

However he return to the next Fight Klub and took the prize money. In his attempt to regain his pride and to please all of his dearest fans, he called out Serious Jones to battle him again for $10,000. Serious refused to show up.

Recently, Jin made somewhat of a comeback to the music industry as he is featured on the remix of R&B singer Ne-Yo's "So Sick".
