On October 4, 2023, BTS' Jungkook took to the South Korean social media platform Weverse, where he discussed various aspects of his upcoming solo debut album, GOLDEN, and engaged in conversations with fans on different topics. Among these discussions, he also emphasized the significant role of his fellow group member, Jin, within BTS.
He expressed how The Astronaut singer is extraordinary and not like others. Jungkook mentioned that ARMYs should be aware of who Jin is and what he does for them without considering anyone else. He also highlighted how incredible it was for him to release the song Super Tuna for ARMYs and mentioned that he might not be able to replicate the same.
Jungkook further said that because of Jin, BTS radiates brightness. He conveyed his longing for the members by saying:
"There's a reason our team is so bright; Jin hyung is like that and has such a role in the team. Ah, I miss the members. Ah, I miss our members. BTS!"
"I miss you all together": Fans miss the group members as BTS' Jungkook mentioned about Jin
Jungkook fulfilled his promise when he went live on Weverse. The Euphoria singer had previously announced during his third streaming and listening party on Station Head, promoting 3D (feat. Jack Harlow), that he would go live on Weverse to interact with ARMYs.
During the live session, in addition to discussing various aspects of his album GOLDEN, as mentioned earlier, he talked about how Jin never ceases to impress him while listening to the latter's Super Tuna. As he listened to the song, a huge smile formed on his face, which delighted his fans. He further expressed doubt that he would have been able to do the same if he were in Jin's position, which is releasing Super Tuna for ARMYs. Jungkook stated, as translated by miiniyoongs on X:
"Wow, Jin hyung, really *shakes head* he's not normal, haha. I don't think I could have done this. Did he really do this just for ARMY? ARMYs, you know how Jin hyung is, right? Wow, how did he come up with releasing a song like this, haha. (T/N: 'super tuna')."
As Jungkook discussed Jin's importance, fans became emotional, especially since the Epiphany singer is currently serving in his mandatory military service and they cannot connect with him directly. Consequently, fans started missing the group as a whole.
Towards the end of the Weverse live, the Euphoria singer also discussed what he plans to do when the group members reunite in 2025, as translated by miiniyoongs on X.
"What do i want to do first in 2025 with the members? Obviously, things like making an album and seeing you! We need to work as fast as we can so that we can come in front of you. Thats the right thing to do. Doing things like 'bon voyage' and 'in the soop' too."
Jungkook further added:
"And we need to be cool even if we were away for 2 years. So we need to work hard right? And we need to become even cooler so that people think we are too. So we have to train hard and release an album, go find/meet armys all over the world and talk about stories we havent talked about, and show that this is what bts is. There isnt anything else. Since chapter 2 has started, our number 1 priority is group activities. No matter what comes, that wont change."
Jungkook is set to release his solo debut album, GOLDEN, on November 3, 2023.
