On Tuesday, December 3, the K-pop ON! Spotify’s YouTube channel shared the behind-the-scenes video of BTS' Jin’s visit to the Happy House. In the past few days, the K-pop ON! Spotify has already released multiple YouTube Shorts with the BTS member around the release of his first solo album, HAPPY.

In the latest video, BTS’ Jin was asked about the differences he felt in group and solo activities. The Running Wild singer mentioned that it was lonely without the group members. He admitted that the hardest aspect of solo activities is loneliness.

“I'm not sure since l haven't done solo activities yet. But when I talked about it with the members… It's lonely. The members were always around, but you become alone for solo activities. They said it gets lonely. The most difficult part is the loneliness,” he mentioned.

He stated that he formerly engaged in all activities with his bandmates, but now, even eating alone makes him feel lonely.

“There's something the members always did… If I'm doing something alone without the members... Honestly, even eating alone gets quite lonely. The members always ate next to me. But after eating alone at work, it did feel quite lonely,” he noted.
