BTS’ V misses group’s oldest member Jin on Weverse live

BTS’ V conducted his first Weverse live for the new year. This also marked his first since the group’s oldest member Jin’s military enlistment. The Inner Child singer spoke about Jin for some time on his Weverse live, indicating that he truly misses the septet’s oldest member.

BTS’ V revealed that if Jin were here, he would be commenting on his Weverse live by writing “Hiyo.” The Singularity singer continued by saying that Jin would have definitely been in the comments section of the broadcast, adding random words like “buhuh.”

He also updated fans about the Epiphany singer, revealing that he’s been working hard.

Earlier this month, Jin took to Weverse, 35 days after he enlisted in the military, and shared his first official photos and messages online.

The Astronaut singer wrote a heartfelt message for ARMYs, sharing pictures of himself wearing his military uniform.

He wrote:

“I’m having a good time. I am posting this picture after receiving permission from the military. ARMYs always be happy and be well."

Post this, BTS’ Jin will continue to serve as an assistant instructor/commander in the same battalion. Members J-hope and Jimin shared their love for Jin by posting sweet comments under his post.

J-hope commented “Love you brother” while Jimin took time out of his busy schedule to write “You’ve worked hard. As expected, hyung is cool.”

Additionally, ARMYs were surprised to hear Jung Kook singing in the background on BTS’ V’s live broadcast. The Christmas Tree singer promptly ended the Weverse live but fans quickly guessed that it was Jung Kook’s voice they could hear. BTS’ V returned to Weverse after a short break to resume a second live.

He explained that he was playing games with friends and Jung Kook happened to be there and was taken aback by his sudden singing so he switched off the live.
