On October 29, 2024, Jin from BTS made a much-awaited guest appearance on the renowned web series The K Star Next Door, hosted by MC Jonathan. This entertaining music talk show is celebrated for featuring prominent stars from the entertainment industry and hosting engaging karaoke sessions. As the highlight of its fourth season finale, the beloved BTS member was invited as a special guest.
The host expressed his long-standing desire to have Jin and the BigHit Music ensemble on his show, sharing that he had previously expressed his eagerness to host them multiple times. While introducing Jin by reading his artist profile, referring to him as “the world star,”he queried the idol if he concurred with the title:
“You do accept that you’re world-class, right?”
Jin graciously acknowledged this, stating it was accurate because of his global performances. The host proceeded to highlight BTS’ monumental achievements, which include numerous Guinness World Records and an impressive six music videos each surpassing one billion views on YouTube. In a surprising turn, Jin confessed that he was not aware of the status of their YouTube records.
The next inquiry tackled when Jin recognized his fame, pinpointing a possible “we made it”moment. The singer paused thoughtfully before admitting that he had never really experienced such a feeling, attributing the group’s success to their relentless commitment and hard work. He remarked:
“I never actually felt that before. We reached where we are today by giving our all every day. The notion of ‘We made it’ has never crossed my mind.”
Key Moments from The K Star Next Door Season 4 Finale Featuring BTS’ Jin
In a segment titled ‘BTS Jin is here! #KStarNextDoor is officially a world-class show!’, the episode kicked off with a light-hearted memory shared by Jin about the day of his military discharge, where he was reunited with his fellow bandmates. The MC began the show with a humorous accolade for Jin, dubbing him the winner of the ‘His Existence Alone Is Amazing’ Award.
The two engaged in playful banter, with Jin enlivening the discussion with his trademark dad jokes. When asked why he chose to appear on the show, Jin mentioned that Jonathan’s strong desire to feature BTS was one reason, along with his intention to please his fans who wished to see him on The K Star Next Door.
Among the questions, Jin faced inquiries about his recent role as a torchbearer at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics, representing South Korea. He humorously noted his own surprise at being able to converse in Korean during an interview with a French journalist, drawing attention to the responses from amazed fans online.
Additional topics covered included his academic journey at Konkuk University, where he majored in theatre and acting. With his classic line “Back in my day,” he playfully addressed a rumor suggesting that good looks contributed to his university acceptance.
Laughter ensued as the MC inquired whether it was true that Jin had messaged his professor about missing a class due to his hectic schedule during his early career. Jin confirmed that he had indeed reached out, highlighting the struggle of managing both work and studies concurrently.
As the Tonight singer regaled the MC with tales from his military service, questions arose about his popularity among fellow soldiers, which he attributed to his sociable nature and generosity. Jin humorously agreed with the observations, stating:
“I was very friendly and spent a lot of money as well.”
Moreover, the episode touched on BTS’ RM’s playful saxophone antics during Jin’s discharge day. Jin affectionately described the situation as “chaotic”and shared how the group managed to gather for the occasion, with some friends arriving in uniform and others coming from their holidays, noting that they were fashionably late.
When prompted to send messages to the members still in service, Jin jokingly remarked:
“That’s a misleading question. No one will be discharged soon. They have hundreds of days left to serve. Some will take quite some time before being discharged.”
However, he did extend warm wishes to his bandmates still serving.
The conversation soon shifted to the topic of aesthetics. The MC playfully measured Jin’s shoulders and presented him with various accessories to elevate his appearance, including a face chain, a ‘gat’ (a traditional Korean hat), earphones, and other items.
Among the episode’s cherished moments, Jin fondly reminisced about BTS’ early days following their debut, particularly their promotional activities in the US.
When discussing the unique titles of their Grammy-nominated songs, Jin explained that the initial aim was to resonate with youthful slang, resulting in titles like Spine Breaker and Dope.
Holding up a poster of Super Tuna, the MC drew attention to its amusing title, making Jin laugh and shyly cover his face. He then obliged when the MC asked him to perform the song, eliciting laughter from the host with the lyrics.
This 37-minute episode was filled with heartfelt exchanges and humor. Upholding the show’s tradition, the finale featured a live performance, where Jin closed the episode by singing his new pre-release track, I’ll Be There, with Jonathan joining him in a karaoke-style setup—marking the song’s first-ever TV performance.
In related news, BTS’ Jin is gearing up for the release of his solo debut album, Happy, set to launch on Friday, November 15, 2024, at 2 PM KST. There will also be a Happy Special Stage for fans on Saturday, November 16, and Sunday, November 17, to celebrate the album’s launch.
