"It's indeed rare to have friends like them": ARMYs were moved to tears to watch Jin being happy and safe with his non-celeb friends

The last two episodes of BTS Monuments: Beyond the Star aired on January 10, 2024, and were named Still Purple and Promise for Tomorrow. In the episode, the Abyss singer-songwriter was seen on a camping excursion with his childhood friends and having discussions around a bonfire.

The Abyss singer-songwriter, who is also the eldest among his BTS peers, recounted to his non-celebrity friends about an event he had on the trip when he had burned himself, and they suggested he use ice.

Jin remarked that he was teased by a friend to just "endure it" when he said he was "too lazy." During a playful conversation, Jin related a story about how he had once ruptured a ligament and attempted to push through the agony, but his buddies reprimanded him and quickly got him to the hospital.

The singer expressed gratitude and emphasized the value of their relationship, acknowledging that he would not have received the right care without their help.

Even the amusing aspect of Jin and Gun-han's friendship is enhanced by the BTS idol's mother's peculiar confidence in him. The Astronaut singer said that his mother gave Gun-han credit for his BTS debut, lightheartedly implying that Jin would not have succeeded if he had prioritized his schoolwork over his social life.

In a candid personal conversation, The Astronaut singer shed insight on the nuances of their connection, stressing that they meet up roughly six times a week when they can or once or twice a week if they are really busy. They will play video games at the singer's residence while he is away from work and welcome him home. They hang out with one another and go after he leaves the house.

Jin said:

"We meet up about six times a week when we can. About once or twice a week when we’re too busy. When I’m out working, they’ll hang out at my house playing video games and greet me when I get home. When I leave the house, they hang out among themselves and leave. I know a few celebrities, and they all say friends like that are rare. I’m glad and relieved."

ARMYs, who have always considered Jin to be one of the most private members of BTS, have been taken aback and thrilled by this infrequent disclosure of the singer's non-celebrity acquaintances in the documentary series.

The episode refutes any perceptions of the Abyss singer-songwriter being alone or without companionship, while simultaneously highlighting the strong relationship he has with his friends.

They rushed to Twitter to swoon over his beautiful and affectionate friendship with his childhood friends. AMRYs expressed how they feel relieved knowing that the BTS idol has people he can rely on during tough times.

Fans poured their hearts out on Twitter (now X) and lauded his non-celebrity friends who have been with the BTS idol for decades—supporting and rooting for him—without ever revealing their identities.
