On July 10, 2024, an exclusive interview with BTS’ Jin was released by Weverse Magazine, where he was asked multiple questions about his life after discharge from the military. Undoubtedly, the K-pop star still has his pizzazz intact and gave witty answers to every question.

Jin was asked how it felt when RM was playing the saxophone during his send-off from the military. The artist revealed that he was extremely discombobulated as he was crying and trying to maintain his composure while saluting for the cameras.

In his confused state, when he turned around and looked at RM, he was shocked by his outfit. He said, “It was the typical Namjoon, but he was wearing something super weird!”

Moreover, the K-pop idol was also asked how he felt about being the first civilian out of all the members, as everyone else in the group is still enlisted. Jin shared that the members were jealous of him, and even management saw genuine envy in their eyes.

So he decided not to brag about his freedom much, but he teased them about it for 30 minutes. He said, “It was too good seeing them get all worked up about it. I kept it up for around 30 minutes.”
