[Sports Seoul | Reporter Wi Su-jeong] Group BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan) revealed behind-the-scenes of the work process for the new album Arirang (ARIRANG).

BTS recently shared episodes from the new album's production during a live broadcast on the fan communication platform 'Weverse'. The topic that day was Jin's situation, as he was the only member who did not have his name included in the songwriting and composing credits.

Leader RM said, “Each member's color is present, but in Jin hyung's case, it's a pity — if the tour had ended a little sooner he would have participated more,” opening the discussion. At that time, Jin's joining of the 'song camp' held in Los Angeles, USA, was delayed due to his solo tour '#RUNSEOKJIN EP.TOUR' schedule, and it was reported that he was therefore excluded from key stages of the album's production.

V and Jungkook also mentioned Jin's brutal schedule and unstable condition at the time and chimed in. Jimin said, “Because Jin hyung protected the team, this album could come out,” offering comfort, but Jin himself replied, “I'm glad that many cool songs came out.”

After the broadcast, heated debate has continued among ARMY. Some fans lamented the agency's management, saying, “Couldn't the solo tour schedule and the song camp timing have been adjusted?”, “It's upsetting that Jin's contributions were acknowledged but excluded from the final product”, and “Jin's expression looks too sad.”

Meanwhile, BTS is scheduled to appear on NBC's 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' on the 26th to perform as a group.
