BTS' Jin and B1A4's Sandeul are well-known in the industry for being close friends since the artists are of the same age and were born in 1992. On September 8, 2024, B1A4's Sandeul aired a new episode titled I have something to say on his YouTube channel, Sandeul, You Should Sing!
In the 8-minute-long video, the K-pop idol talked about how he plans to do the activities he enjoys for his YouTube channel. The filming crew asked him if he wanted to invite a guest. He meekly shared his wish to invite his friend, BTS' Kim Seok-jin, to his show.
"I did go on a trip with Jin for 'Half-star Hotel in Lost Island. But he's really busy. No, I'm not getting cold feet. I mean, I'm not nervous about it at all."
