Jin just dropped a confession that’s equal parts endearing and eyebrow-raising: standing solo on stage without the rest of BTS feels downright awkward. He was doing what every idol dreads—stepping into a stage that’s empty where his hyungs should be, and it hit him hard.
Jin opened up during a Weverse live after his first concert stop in Osaka. After over a decade performing shoulder-to-shoulder with RM, Suga, J‑Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, stepping out alone felt unfamiliar—because it is. He said flat out: not being surrounded by his group mates makes him feel uneasy. The comfort, chemistry, and unspoken backup he’s had since debut left a noticeable void in his solo moments.
He didn’t just sugarcoat it. Jin emphasized that this isn’t just stage fright—it’s the loss of years of shared camaraderie. The voices, the energy, the way they seamlessly support each other in performance—it’s all missing now .
This candid admission strikes a chord for any ARMY who’s watched BTS grow up from basement trainees to global icons. We’ve all witnessed the bond: those invisible threads that pull them together, even on the biggest stages. So yes, watching Jin shine on his solo tour while admitting he still craves that group synergy is bittersweet—but also reassuring. It shows how much BTS means to each member, and how much they lean on each other, not just for K‑pop grandeur, but for genuine support.
And let’s keep it real—Jin missing them doesn’t mean he’s insecure. It means he’s human. If performing without his teammates feels awkward after 13 years together, well, that’s exactly why we stan a group, not just a talented soloist.
ARMY, grab your tissues. Jin’s honesty is a beautiful reminder of why BTS’s essence isn’t in solo achievements, but in their unity. As always, he’s holding it down—sweet, strong, and painfully nostalgic. We love you, Jin. We miss them too.
