On March 22, Jin appeared on the YouTube channel of Kian84, continuing the connection they built through the Netflix variety show Kian’s Bizarre B&B. The two engaged in a conversation that was both lighthearted and deeply reflective. Kian84 expressed admiration for BTS’s still-intense and precise group choreography despite their long careers, but Jin humbly credited his fellow members, saying, “The members are just that outstanding.” He also described himself as “the type who needs self-objectivity,” joking that his role in the group is to “push forward with visuals,” drawing laughter.
Now 35 years old, Jin revealed that his mindset toward his career has changed “180 degrees” compared to the past. He admitted, “When I debuted at 22, I honestly thought I’d just promote for about seven years and then step away,” openly sharing his vague early retirement plan.
However, Jin explained that continuing his activities—and experiencing the love from fans and the joy of performing—gradually transformed his outlook on life. He said, “As I kept going, the work became more fun, and my gratitude toward fans became truly genuine,” adding, “I never expected to go this long, but the more I do it, the more I feel confident that it’s okay to take it seriously.”
This interview resonated deeply with fans, offering a glimpse into the personal struggles and growth of an artist who has reached the top of the global stage. With a growing passion for his work, Jin expressed his determination to continue his career with even greater sincerity in the years ahead.
