The reason why member Jin's name was missing from the credits of the group's fifth full-length album 'ARIRANG' was revealed. Although Jin's name could not be registered because of the tour, BTS, reunited after 3 years and 9 months, has achieved dazzling results and elevated that name.
On the 20th, BTS mentioned the credits while conducting a live broadcast through their official fan community to celebrate the comeback of their fifth full-length album.
Suga explained, "If you look at credits this time, there are producers, but we also took the lead and all worked in the role of producers." However, Jin was on a solo tour while the members were holding a song camp in the United States to work on the new album, and he joined the song camp late and could not put his name on the album credits.
Jin explained, "They said they had already made more than 100 songs. I listened to more than half of the album after coming back to Korea."
To the regretful Jin, RM said, "Actually I wish the tour had ended a little sooner so we could have done it together; it's a shame. He was the first to be discharged and kept the team's momentum. He went on tour and did 'Run, Seokjin' and 'Kianjang' too. I have never seen anyone who hates Jin hyung. His role was big," and V said, "He had the time he could have used, but his condition wasn't good."
The members also expressed their gratitude, saying, "Hyung worked hard. Thanks to him, he protected the team," and Jin replied, "I'm glad many great songs came out," showing strong team chemistry.
BTS emphasized that they are not hung up on credit name listings and that the team exists because of each other. Jin, who was the first to be discharged during the military service gap, minimized that gap by releasing new songs, conducting a solo tour and appearing on variety shows, and as members returned one after another they were able to release new music after 3 years and 9 months, showing their gratitude to Jin and proving their friendship.
United as one, BTS has been raising their stature by producing dazzling results. According to Netflix's announcement on the 25th, 'BTS comeback live: Arirang,' which was streamed live on the 21st, was watched by 18.4 million people in one day. The video uploaded to Netflix after the event entered the weekly ranking at No. 1 in 24 countries and regions, and was in the top 10 in 80 countries and regions.
Netflix said the volume of social mentions related to BTS before and after the performance reached a whopping 2.62 billion, and interest in Korean culture and Seoul landmarks exploded, affecting Korean society as a whole.
Meanwhile, BTS will appear on NBC's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, airing at 12:35 p.m. on the 26th and 27th.
