BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG interview [Jin Focus]

The documentary “BTS: THE RETURN” begins with Jin opening up about how tough touring is, and yet he suggested extending the “ARIRANG” tour.

Jin: Before we went into the military, we said, “Once we all get discharged, let’s go see ARMY everywhere we couldn’t tour during COVID.” It wasn’t really something we were discussing with the label. It was a promise we made together before enlisting—going to the places where people wanted to see us. If a singer you like goes on tour and yours is the only country they skip, of course you feel bad, and we didn’t want ARMY to feel that way. When I see them writing to thank us for coming to where they’re at, it means the world to me. It was meant to happen eventually, and now we’re finally doing it.

That’s another big part of what makes this tour special—those spontaneous moments you share with ARMY, like V in Mexico City eating a hot dog or making a toast with them, or Jin asking for confetti to rain down over his head or blowing his signature kiss. Every show ends up with its own special moment.

Jin: I’m a pretty spontaneous person, so a lot of the time I’ll see something and think, “Oh, I should try that.” I guess when you think about it, that still counts as planning—just planning spontaneously. (laughs) I love making people laugh, so I’m always thinking, “Oh, I bet I can make them laugh if I do that.” I mean, ARMY goes through all the trouble to come out for the show, so it’s nice if they can get in a few extra laughs.

At the end of the day, the “ARIRANG” tour feels like it’s both BTS 2.0 and a chance to think about what that name really means.

Jin: These guys are the best, you know? I’ve done promotions and even toured without the others before, and there was a lot of pressure there. There was this fear in the back of my mind. Performing without them taught me something—how grateful I am that we get to do this together and how much it means to me. When I’m with them, we end up laughing our way through everything, and onstage, too, I’m so happy that I just can’t help smiling.
