BTS' Jin revealed his forgotten passion for pursuing an acting career

During the conversation, he revealed his unrealized interest in being an actor. He also added that he is happy being a singer now.

“I really wanted to become an actor then because I hadn’t tried being an actor or an idol singer then. In the end though, for me, being a singer and an idol is such a lovely and fun job. The dreams I once had of becoming an actor are now forgotten. I’m happy as a singer.”

He additionally touched on the car-drifting stunt he executed in his most recent Running Wild music video. He stated that his team was granted permission to use the street in Los Angeles. In the Running Wild MV, BTS' Jin drove a Mustang.

“We got a permit to use a street in LA. They wanted me to drive like I was dodging something . Luckily, I am the best driver. So I was doing quick turns like this and the director said "Hey hey, seriously, I don't want to die. Don't do it like that plz" So I said " Wasn't this want u wanted?" And they were like "No we meant u just pretend"

He said that he wanted his stunt to look more realistic:

“So I said Isn't this way better with more realistic feel into it? Then he said "Oh no help! Save me!"

Moreover, when the host, Lee Mu-jin, questioned what happiness looked like for Jin, the idol replied that watching people smile made him happy.

BTS' Jin gave a Super Tuna lesson to Lee Mu-jin during the show. Besides, he also gave a live performance of his new solo tracks from his album HAPPY, namely Running Wild, Falling, and I’ll Be There.
