In particular, it focused on Jin and how most of the songs had already been done before he arrived in LA, due to his ongoing tour. It even explained that he had asked for it to be delayed so he could participate more, but it didn’t happen.
Because of his tour obligations, he joined the others in Los Angeles later, after the others had already worked through most of the songs that would end up on Arirang. He mentions that it would have been ideal if they could’ve delayed recording the album until his tour had completed, but he understands the reasoning behind the tight schedule. ‘They made a really nice album while I was on tour,’ he says. ‘Coming in late and not really knowing where everyone’s at is scary, because I have to figure out where I fit into all of this. But having spent the last 12 years together, I’ve kind of known what to do without being told. … I’m not even sure where I am.’
When the post was shared, the fact that Jin had asked to delay the recording but was turned down sparked major anger among fans as the idol was hugely honest about the feeling of coming in late after a lot of the album had been done.

That was a clear disregard, disrespect & exclusion of one member. If someone, anyone, could have shown care & understanding, like Jin usually does for the team. What truly baffles me – a week or two of waiting for him won't cause any harm. The entire situation was disheartening. https://t.co/osJUkxTWnR

Jin told them to WAIT. But the members & cmpny DIDN'T. What exactly r they doing?Running behind success forgetting their OWN MEMBER?What pressure? If Jin who was targetted & harassed by every1 since he was 25,could postpone his enlistment for Busan concert just bcoz the MEMBERS + https://t.co/jq75VrYnRH

“They didn't wait for him” that's the reason for his exclusion from album. It's as simple as that
