On October 29, 2024, BTS’s Jin opened up about his philosophy on generosity and gift-giving during his appearance on the YouTube program, The K-Star Next Door. The K-pop sensation discussed how he expresses gratitude to those who collaborate with him, emphasizing the importance of sharing these moments publicly.
Jonathan, the host of the show, noted Jin’s well-known reputation for bestowing thoughtful gifts and inquired whether he had personally purchased items for his team in recent projects. Jin acknowledged this and revealed his unique outlook on gifting.
Rather than keeping his gestures under wraps, the BTS star expressed a desire for recipients to share that they received something from him. He believes that public recognition not only instills a sense of pride within him but also inspires him to maintain his generosity moving forward. He stated:
“The right little toe should be aware of what the left little finger is doing. It brings me pride knowing that someone should share that I have done something for them, and I will continue supporting like this. When I present a squid gift, I want them to say, ‘This was from me. You must let everyone know.’”
The singer-songwriter jokingly differentiated his method from the typical secretive gift-giving practices, advising Jonathan to “make an announcement” even for the smallest of treats.
Jin pointed out that this communal acknowledgment enhances the significance of his acts of kindness.
