BTS' Jin shared his memories while making of his debut solo album HAPPY
In this session with Spotify, BTS' Jin shared his favorite memory from recording his inaugural solo record, HAPPY, which was released on November 15, 2024. He shared the experience of writing his pre-release track, I’ll Be There, as the most fun memory.
“I think I had the most fun writing the lyrics to "I'll Be There." | wrote it a few days after being discharged from the military. It was a happy moment to be able to work all night long for the first time since being away,” Jin commented.
BTS' Jin was asked about the most personal song from his album HAPPY, and he shared that Falling was the one. He explained that the song best reflected his personality.
BTS' Jin said that his debut album was his first opportunity to showcase his true self to his fans and also the music genre he desires to pursue.
“I haven't been able to show fans the genre of music I want to pursue until now, and I think I was able to do that with this album. Happy was my opportunity to express myself to my fans in this way,” Jin stated.
Moreover, he shared his favorite songs to perform live- I'll Be There and Super Tuna. He also detailed his pre-show ritual during the interaction.
“I always make sure to take a deep breath and hold it for 30-40 seconds, and then take a full breath out. I'm not sure if it's just in my head, but I feel my lung capacity expands when I do that,” Seokjin said.
Further, BTS’ Jin revealed that his go-to-tour snack is the gummy worm. He added that he ate them everyday during his tour.
In related news, BTS is ready to make a comeback in June 2025, as the remaining members of the group, namely Jungkook, V, Jimin, SUGA, and Namjoon, will finish off their military service.
