BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan) Jin revealed the reason why his name is not listed in the new album credits. Recently, to commemorate BTS's comeback with their 5th full album 'ARIRANG', they held a live stream through the official fan community Weverse. On that day, the members shared various behind-the-scenes stories related to the new album, attracting attention. SUGA explained, 'This time, if you look at the credits, there are producers, but we also participated as leading producers.' However, Jin was on a solo tour at the time when the members were conducting a song camp for the new album, and he joined the song camp late due to scheduling conflicts, which is why his name was not included in the album credits. Jin, who joined the members in America a week before the song camp ended, expressed surprise, saying, 'They had already made over 100 songs,' and explained, 'I listened to more than half of the album after returning to Korea.' RM mentioned, 'Each of our personalities is included. If Jin hyung had finished his tour a bit earlier, he could have participated. It's a shame.' V added, 'Hyung had time to work, but his condition wasn't good because he had been on tour.' The members then expressed their gratitude, saying, 'Hyung worked hard. Thanks to him, he protected the team again,' to which Jin responded, 'I'm happy to have been able to produce many cool songs.' RM also said, 'Jin hyung kept the team together after returning from his service. He filmed the YouTube content 'Run, Sookjin' and appeared on 'Kian's Wild Guesthouse.' I've never seen anyone dislike Jin hyung. His role was significant. I was really moved at the concert. Thank you for your hard work.' BTS has proven their global popularity with their new song 'SWIM' topping the global charts for three consecutive days.
