BTS’s Jin recently confessed that he didn’t even notice RM playing the saxophone when he was discharged from the military.
Jin recently sat down for an interview with Weverse Magazine, where he shared his thoughts on returning from his mandatory military service. According to the interview, the first thing Jin did when he was discharged was log onto Weverse LIVE to greet his fans.
When talking about how he felt about being discharged, Jin shared, “It feels like I’m just on leave and have to get back to base. It still doesn’t feel like I’m really out yet. It’s quite disorienting, actually. I asked my friends and they said it’ll go away after a month or two, or maybe three.”
In particular, his discharge ceremony attracted much attention when the other six BTS members greeted him, especially because RM appeared to play the saxophone.
Regarding this, Jin confessed he did not notice RM playing the saxophone at all. Jin shared, ” I didn’t even realize he was playing next to me, and I only found out the song being played was ‘Dynamite‘ when I saw the video later on. I was an assistant drill sergeant, so I was used to hearing the saxophone in recordings of the army band all the time, like at discharge and enlistment ceremonies. So when I heard music playing, I just assumed it was the same discharge music as always.“
He continued, “I was crying, and I had to salute here and there because there were reporters, and I was just so overwhelmed that I had no idea. Then I turned to look and saw Namjoon and was like, ‘Huh?’ It was the typical Namjoon, but he was wearing something super weird! (laughs) It was like, ‘What? Anyway, thanks for coming. Alright, Namjoon, let’s go, let’s go’.”
