What puts a smile on BTS’ Jin’s face
When Jin was asked about what puts a smile on his face, he revealed, “I think the members will all say the same. When we have concerts, it’s the happiest memory that puts a smile on my face. And if I had to choose part of it... After the main concert ends, and we’re preparing for the encore, the fans will sing on their own or do the wave. There’s a point when the fans do something together. Just thinking about that moment makes me... ‘So cute…’ I smile the most then.”

Jin was discharged from the military in June, coinciding with the band’s debut anniversary. He conducted a meet and greet with fans, collaborated with luxury brands, and also became the torchbearer at the 2024 Paris Olympics. He recently appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon where he discussed his new album ‘Happy’ and even performed the song ‘Running Wild’ which marked his solo debut on the chat show.
The decision by BTS to enlist in the military helped avert a sticky situation for South Korea's government. Military service is compulsory for all able-bodied males under 30 years old. The current system allows for some exceptions on the grounds of exceptional service to the country. Some top athletes and classical musicians have been excused on this basis, but pop artists have not.
