On October 29, BTS' Jin appeared on K-Star Next Door with host Jonathan. During the episode, Jin discussed various topics, including BTS' fame. Jonathan asked him when he first realized how famous the group had become.
Here's the reply the idol gave
"I never really felt that before. After working hard, it became this moment. I've never thought I was successful at any point."
The topic, then, slowly shifted to military enlistment. He was asked about his emotions during his discharge when all the members gathered to welcome him. He hilariously replied to this by stating that the members were very late and he had to wait for a long time inside before leaving the camp.
"I waited for them. They were late. I had to wait for them inside, geez. I waited. They were far away. It was understandable."
He also continued to talk about the other members' military units. He stated that he heard from the members that their units were a lot tougher and stricter compared to JIN's. Additionally, when Jonathan expressed that the members would be returning from the military soon, JIN hilariously replied that that wasn't true. He stated that they have hundreds of days left until their military discharge.
Lastly, the idol also touched upon j-hope's military discharge and his visit to the same:
"Hobi said it's okay for me not to come, but it's not easy for other members to get vacation days. So, considering that I thought no one could be there at Hobi's discharge. So I skipped my planned schedule to go there."
On the other hand, BTS' JIN is gearing up for the release of his first solo debut album, Happy, which is scheduled on November 15, 2 PM KST.
