Jin of BTS has become the center of online debate after fans noticed his absence from the songwriting and composition credits of the group’s latest album “ARIRANG.” During a recent studio live broadcast celebrating the album’s release, the members explained the situation behind Jin’s absence from the credits.
Jungkook shared, “We worked on a variety of songs, so each member’s color is included in the album.” He added, “If Jin had finished his tour a bit earlier, he could have participated more.”
Another member explained further, noting that Jin had ongoing tour commitments and was not in the best condition at the time. As a result, he joined the project later than the others and did not take part in the songwriting camp held in Los Angeles.
RM also expressed sympathy, saying, “He worked really hard. It was a pity,” while the group emphasized that Jin’s efforts in maintaining the team still played an important role in completing the album. Jin himself responded briefly, “There are a lot of great songs, so I’m happy.”
Despite the members’ explanations, the issue has continued to spark discussion among fans. Much of the attention has focused on Jin’s facial expression during the live broadcast, which some described as unusually tense.
Comments such as “This is the first time I’ve seen Jin fail to manage his expression,” and “It feels like he’s holding something back,” began circulating online. Others questioned the production process, with remarks like “They should have adjusted the schedule for a full-group comeback,” and “It’s disappointing that one member is missing from the credits.” Some fans also raised concerns about communication, saying, “Why are others explaining instead of Jin himself?”
Despite the debate, BTS’s return has been met with massive global attention. The group’s comeback live event reportedly drew over 18 million viewers worldwide, underscoring their continued influence. As BTS prepares for their upcoming “BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG” concerts, the discussion surrounding Jin’s credits highlights how even small details can spark intense reactions within the fandom, especially during a long-awaited full-group comeback.
