BTS Member Says He Was Going To Call It Quits After 7 Years… So What Made Him Stay?
In Kian84‘s new YouTube video, BTS‘s Jin revealed that leaving the group (or disbandment) was on his mind when he first kick-started his K-Pop idol life.
In the video, Kian84 mentioned, “It’s been about a year and a half since Kian’s Bizarre B&B ended, but it never felt like you were far away. I see you everywhere… On the Gyeongbu Expressway or when I’m eating tuna, your face is just all over the place.” Jin agreed that he has been keeping busy.
I released a solo album, went on tour, filmed commercials, and when I had some free time, I played games and had a drink here and there.

In response, Kian84 expressed admiration for Jin’s diligence. “Usually when idol groups get more experienced, their choreography gets a bit looser,” Kian noted.
Kian84: But BTS isn’t like that. Their performances are even sharper and more intense.
Jin: The members are truly amazing. Me? I’m not that good, honestly. You have to be objective about yourself… I know I just get by with my good looks.
Then, in reference to BTS marking their 13th debut anniversary, Jin also revealed, “Back then, I thought I might just do this for seven years and then leave.”
So what kept him going? ARMYs, of course.
But my mindset toward it all changed. As I kept going, it became more and more fun, and I grew more sincere about it. And thanks to the fans, I felt like I could keep going longer and take it more seriously.
