"BTS Jin, it's the first time his facial expression control has failed"... debate continues as the credits roll and he is left alone
Group BTS Jin/photo=fan platform Weverse Live captureThe reason why member Jin was excluded from the credits of BTS's fifth full-length album 'Arirang' has been revealed, but fans still showed an attitude that they could not accept it.
BTS recently held a studio live to commemorate the release of 'Arirang' (ARIRANG) and revealed the working process. The members expressed satisfaction that a result came out despite the short preparation period.
On the day, RM said, "We worked on songs in various ways, so each member's color is reflected in the album." He added, "I wish Jin had finished his tour a little sooner; we would have done more together — it's unfortunate."
V said, "There was time to do it together, but his condition wasn't good. He kept touring." BTS held a 'song camp' in Los Angeles, USA, for this album, but Jin joined late due to his individual tour schedule and therefore did not get his name on the songwriting and composing credits.
RM said, "He worked very hard. It was regrettable," and Jimin encouraged Jin, saying, "Because he protected the team, the album was released." Jin replied, "I'm glad so many cool songs came out."
Despite the members' explanations, the controversy did not subside because Jin's stiff expression was captured during the broadcast. Within the fandom, comments arose such as, "They should have adjusted the timing of the song camp considering the tour schedule," and, "It's a full-group comeback, so it's a shame that only one member was missing."
Other reactions included, "It's the first time I've seen Jin fail to manage his expression. It seems like he's holding back what he wants to say," and, "Why are others explaining on his behalf when the person involved has nothing to say?"
Meanwhile, BTS returned as a complete group for the first time in 3 years and 9 months with 'Arirang.' The comeback performance held on the 21st at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul was watched by 18.4 million people worldwide that day. They will hold a solo concert 'BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG' from the 9th to the 12th of next month at the Goyang Sports Complex Main Stadium in Gyeonggi.
