BTS’ Jin \/ Captured from Rolling Stone’s channel<\/p>\n
BTS member Jin has addressed why his name was missing from the songwriting credits of the group\u2019s latest full-length album \u201cARIRANG,\u201d saying scheduling conflicts made it the \u201cbest choice\u201d at the time.<\/p>\n
In an interview video released Wednesday with U.S. music publication Rolling Stone, Jin shared behind-the-scenes details about the album and clarified speculation that had circulated among fans following its release.<\/p>\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t talked about this anywhere else, but the truth is I didn\u2019t write any of the songs,\u201d he said, drawing attention to the fact that his name was absent from the album\u2019s credits \u2014 a point that had sparked questions online.<\/p>\n
At the time of the comeback, BTS members had explained during a livestream that Jin joined the U.S.-based songwriting sessions later than the others due to his solo tour schedule. Still, various theories continued to emerge among fans.<\/p>\n
Jin said, \u201cI was still on my solo tour at the time. When I arrived at the studio, there were a hundred-something songs already made. So then I test recorded the best of them. And that took about seven to ten days. Once that was done, the whole process was over.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added that the recording had been scheduled three months in advance, while his solo tour had been planned even earlier, making it difficult to align the timelines.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was worried our fans would be bored while everyone was in the military, so there I was soothing the hearts of our fans. Meanwhile, all of the songs got made,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
When the interviewer noted that it would have been nice to see more songwriting credits from Jin, he responded modestly.<\/p>\n
\u201cI do think it would have been better, but the other members did a beautiful job,\u201d he said. \u201cIf I had been greedy and pushed the whole session just so I could add my own songs, this interview would be happening months from now. Wouldn\u2019t the fans be too bored during that time?\u201d<\/p>\n
Jin added, \u201cSure, I\u2019m a little bummed, but there\u2019s more to life than just the present \u2013 there\u2019s the future. And I believe there will always be more opportunities. So I\u2019m a little disappointed, but that was the best choice I could made at the time.\u201d<\/p>\n
