“According to the law of species preservation, strong and intelligent males and females pass down their genes, and that’s how we’ve come to exist. But the line ends with those two. Because they don’t marry or have children. That’s the story behind it.”
Jin posted a picture of it and wrote in the caption:
“Thank you for the gift boss Kian84.”
His acknowledgment of the artwork's depth resonated with fans. They took to social media platforms to laud Kian, aka Kian84, for his thoughtful gesture of creating a painting with profound meaning and reflection on today's generation.

"So genius of him on how he added his signature," another fan wrote.
"I didn't know why my brain went straight to the phrase "it ends with us" when I saw this painting. Now it makes sense," another fan added.
Some fans shared pictures of Kian's original artwork that he gifted to Jin. They noted that the gift was allegedly created in 2024 when the BTS idol released his debut solo album, Happy.
The picture shows the idol painting a blue canvas with "Happy" written on it, while another man sat with his back towards the camera. Fans speculated that it could have been Kian himself in the picture.
"Seems that the art gift from Kian that Seokjin shared is a version of Kian’s previous artwork, held at an art exhibition. He painted it in blue during Happy era to gift Jin," the fan wrote.
The more I find info about the painting, the more deep and sad it sounds and if you connect the concept for echo, it kinda matches," a fan remarked.
