A Candid Take on BTS’s Reunion
While fans around the world cheered his stunning vocals and comedic banter with Fallon, it was his candid remarks about BTS’s reunion that struck the deepest chord.
“It was honestly really comfortable doing activities alone,” Jin said with a light laugh, before following up with sincerity, “But the other members worked so hard, I’ll have to serve them well when they return. They’re like saviors in my life, I need to treat them with utmost care.”
Jin’s Humor Shines on Late-Night TV
Fallon emphasized the significance of the upcoming month for the BTS fandom, noting, “June is a big month for BTS fans. All seven members will have completed their military service and finally reunite. The world has been waiting for this.” The crowd erupted in applause, echoing the excitement of fans across the globe.
The interview also showcased Jin’s humorous side. Fallon brought up his popular variety content “Run Jin,” even mentioning the viral cameo by Tom Cruise.
