The reason why Jin from BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan) spends his home time (staying at home) on his days off has been revealed. Recently, on the MBC variety show 'Radio Star' broadcast in Korea, guests included actor Choi Daniel, See Ya's Nam Gyu-ri, Red Velvet's Ahn Ji-young, and TOMORROW X TOGETHER's Beomgyu. On that day, Beomgyu mentioned that he shares a 'world-class' routine like BTS and said, 'I am very close with Jin-hyung. Jin-hyung also likes games, and since I like them too, if our days off match, I always go to his house and we play games every time.' Beomgyu conveyed that 'Jin-hyung said it’s better to play at home than outside because there are no risks.' Kim Gura and Yoo Se-yoon empathized, saying, 'It’s a realistic but sad story,' and 'Broadcast officials say that trouble always arises when you go outside.' When asked if it would be better to go out and play, Beomgyu firmly shouted, 'No, no, no!' He emphasized that 'you never know what might happen in the world' in response to the suggestion that going out doesn’t necessarily lead to trouble. When asked if any members go out during their time off, he confessed, 'When our members get a two-week vacation, they go on trips they couldn’t go on, but even if I get a two-week vacation, I stay in the dorm for the entire two weeks. I’m completely introverted.' • TXT Beomgyu makes his first appearance on the cover of the July issue of 'VOCE' released on May 21!
