On August 20, 2024, BTS' Jin appeared in an Instagram reel shared by Lee Hye-won, a South Korean businesswoman and Miss Korea 1999. Hye-won, wife of former soccer player Ahn Jung-hwan, reposted an article from Half-Star Hotel in Lost Island (푹 쉬면 다행이야). The reel showed Jin leaning on Ahn while on a boat and included a photo of Jin's single track "The Astronaut" album, which he had gifted to Lee with a personal autograph and message.
