“The most valuable existence to me is our ARMY. Thanks to ARMY, I have achieved and experienced a lot.”
Jin of BTS (real name Kim Seok-jin) stated that the most valuable existence in his life is ‘ARMY’. He also opened up about the changes he faced after his military discharge.
In September, Jin graced the cover of the 24th issue of ‘D Icon’ in Italy. He collaborated with photographer Kim Hyung-sik for the second time, capturing Jin's day with a delicate perspective.
Jin, who was the first among BTS members to enlist in the military and was discharged last June, said he has grown as a person. “By meeting various people, I have come to understand people better. I have learned to respect others' thoughts more. It’s a significant change for me,” he revealed.
The most frequently mentioned topic during the shoot was ‘the happiness of ARMY’. He said, “The reason is simple. The happiness of ARMY is my happiness.”
“When I see ARMY happy, I also feel happy. Our ARMY must be happy.”
He added, “If ARMY is not happy, I will make you happy,” expressing his infinite love for ARMY by saying, “It’s even greater that I become happy when ARMY is happy.”
He also shared his plans for 2025. Jin said, “I think I will take a little break while preparing for the next project,” and hinted, “Of course, I plan to continue having time to meet with ARMY even while resting. I think of ARMY as a priority.”
In addition, the content includes stories shared with staff on set, the first wish he made at his birthday party, his true feelings he wants to convey to ARMY, and films that reflect his perspective. It is composed of a total of 200 pages, capturing vivid behind-the-scenes moments from the day, as well as highlighting Jin's charm points by keyword. His music, from his first solo song to the new album, is also analyzed.
It will be presented in four versions: Romantic Afternoon (Version A), Birthday Party (Version B), Time in the Garden (Version C), and A Day Spent in the Mansion (Version D). Special perks will be given based on the type.
