But what truly stunned fans was the real-life tuna fish story. He shared how some of his friends doubted the fish was real, thinking the image had been photoshopped. He reassured viewers that the catch was genuine, explaining that the fish was maybe around 110 cm, though he humorously speculated that it might have been as large as 180 cm, the same height as his bandmate RM.

Jin added that the entire process of catching the tuna had been recorded, and he planned to share the footage later. Fans were both amused and impressed, noting how fitting it was that he caught a massive tuna out of all fishes, aligning with the theme of his iconic song.

Moreover, Jin talked briefly about Jimin’s upcoming birthday and j-hope’s soon-to-be military discharge. The original Super Tuna was first released on December 4, 2021, on Jin's birthday, and he even performed it during BTS Festa 2024.
