Q: Is this your way of striking a balance between BTS and your personal life?
🐹 Well, I hadn’t really thought about it that way before, but I guess you could say I want to be able to have fun on my own, too. And without inconveniencing anybody else.
652
🐹 I guess a lot of people might not understand the concept of doing what you want, when you want, because they’re required to make a plan. I don’t think I was like this when I first debuted, either. +
653
🐹 It might not make sense to other people, but it’s so important to do things when you feel like doing them. You gotta do what you gotta do when it comes to work, but for things that aren’t absolutely required of you, I think you should do them whenever you feel like it. +
654
Q: Did you also make the version of “Epiphany (Jin Demo Ver.)” that appears on Proof when you were feeling like it?
🐹 Yes. I was already in a when-I-feel-like-it mindset by that point so I spent about a week writing that version, but it was harder than I expected. +
655
🐹 To put it in a general, comprehensive sense, now I do things when I feel like it. I made “Abyss” when I wanted to indirectly express that I was having a hard time. And I made “Super Tuna” because I felt like doing something while fishing with BUMZU. +
656
🐹 It used to be that any time I had to do something, I thought it was such a big deal. Like, How can I handle something this big right now? I would always feel discouraged, but my personality has changed a lot now, I think. +
657
Q: What led you to realize you could do such events (like the #SuperTunaDanceChallenge) by communicating with ARMY?
🐹 I think it was when we were first able to communicate directly, which was once Weverse opened up. +
658
Jin about “Super Tuna” release: “Super Tuna was never planned out— I just wanted to try going fishing with BUMZU, and we decided to make a song while we were at it. It was originally a spontaneous song. It was just something we did to pass the time, you know? +
659
Jin about “Yours” release: “The group was spending less time performing at the time and I figured ARMY would like it if they had a new song to listen to at that point. It would have been a little bit random to just release a song out of nowhere +
660
Q: It sounds like, with things like V LIVE and “Super Tuna,” you’re trying to do things for ARMY’s sake.
🐹 As I said earlier, I like gaming. Games have to be updated to make them more fun, even if the users didn’t ask for it. I think we’re similar to that. +
661
🐹 I’m the sort of person who feels comfortable when I have to talk with someone, like conversing back and forth, but put me in front of a camera alone and sometimes I won’t have much to say for very long. +
662
Q: I’m sure the birthday event ARMY held for you during the LA concert was one of them.
🐹 Of course! That event was something I could experience entirely thanks to everything we’ve done as a team to make it where we are today. +
663
Q: What is it that allows you to maintain that kind of atmosphere?
🐹 I think that’s because everyone just puts the group before themselves. And working as a group of seven people is better for both our own happiness and for ARMY’s enjoyment +
664
Q: It’s fascinating the way you’re able to hold onto that sense of trust between members.
🐹 I find it fascinating, too. They’re all very ambitious, but I think you could say they’re not that ambitious at the same time. They are extremely ambitious collectively as the group +
665
Q: j-hope showed the enormous amount of respect he has for the positive influence you have on the group during the concert.
🐹 As he said, I tried my very best to miss as little as possible at the concert despite my injury. But what I’m really thankful to Hobi for and makes me +
666
Q: Things like coming out at the end of the concert with a silly hairstyle are your way of expressing your feelings toward ARMY?
🐹 I do that because ARMY likes it. Even though it only lasts a really brief moment, they find it fun. If they’re enjoying it, I do, too. +
667
Q: How did it feel to see ARMY in concert for the first time in two years?
🐹 When we were about to do the first concert in LA, I kept saying to the other members, “What if I cry while we’re up there?” I tried not to become overwhelmed by that kind of sentimentality +
668
Q: So you were the center of attention onstage, but at the same time you watched the group and ARMY from a distance.
🐹 When you play games, sometimes you have to choose between playing DPS or playing tank. I felt like I was acing it as both DPS and tank at that concert. +
669
Q: How did it feel watching the other members from afar (on the Grammys performance)?
🐹 They looked cool. There are other cool artists, too, but that was the first time I was ever personally in a position to watch the other members perform together in person +
670
Q: Is your finger getting better?
🐹 It’s much better now. (laughs)
Q: You had to be careful even during your performance at the Grammy Awards. Just watching you made me nervous.
🐹 By that point it had already been a while since I injured it, so it didn’t hurt too much. +
