On the 19th, a video featuring Jin as a guest on 'Limousine Service' was posted on the KBS K-pop channel on YouTube. In the video, he mentioned regarding his appearance on 'Limousine Service,' 'Since I was going to release an album this time, I wanted to appear on various shows, but I thought, 'How can I satisfy the fans?' Since I couldn't find an answer, I said, 'If you all choose, I will appear unconditionally,' and among those answers was 'Limousine Service.' As the oldest member of BTS, he was the first to enlist and returned in June, reflecting on his military life, saying, 'I served as an assistant instructor at the 5th Division New Soldier Training Center in Yeongcheon-gun.' When Lee Mujin, who has not yet enlisted, jokingly said, 'It doesn't seem like you struggled that much,' Jin laughed and replied, 'You won't know until you go.' He added, 'When I was in the military, the young kids watched 'Limousine Service' a lot. There isn't much to do in the military, but watching 'Limousine Service' is free on the TV set up there, so it was very popular.' As a global idol who has stood on various stages, when asked how he compares 'Limousine Service' to the stage, he said, 'The standards of the viewers are different, but the filming site is almost the same. I felt relaxed from the moment I entered the studio of 'Limousine Service,' so you (Lee Mujin) just need to relax.' He also revealed behind-the-scenes stories about the production of his 1st solo album 'Happy,' stating, 'While I was in the military, I just made simple notes of my emotions, and I started proper preparations after being discharged. The day after my discharge, I had a performance, and I was anxious about the preparations, so I searched for songs while listening to about 1000 songs over the next 3-4 days.' He added, 'Except for the title track and the song I sang with Wendy from Red Velvet, I decided the concept and structured everything myself.' Known for his outstanding looks and called 'Worldwide Handsome,' when asked if he was scouted a lot before debuting, he replied, 'Before I became a university student, I had only been scouted once or twice. I feel sorry for my mother, but I told her I was going to a cram school or a reading room while spending hours in an internet cafe. Above all, the area I lived in had a studious atmosphere, so the scouts didn't come that far.' After entering university and becoming a trainee, he said street scouting flooded in. Jin also confessed, 'When I was a trainee, I gained 10 kg in a month. Maybe it was because of the psychology of wanting something in return; I ate a lot. By the time I finished training, I had gained 10 kg,' which drew laughter.
