BTS’ Jin on his first post-military performance: “I thought I might cry”
nme.comBTS singer Jin has opened up about his first live performance since being discharged from the military last month.BTS’ Jin recently opened up about the experience of performing live for the first time since was discharged from military service in an interview with Weverse Magazine.
Last month, the singer surprised fans with an extended version of his solo song ‘Super Tuna’ at the boyband’s annual ‘Festa’ celebrations.“When you’re in the army, there’s a lot of restrictions in place, and none of the stuff you have is your own, which isn’t always easy,” he said. “But once I was onstage, I had my fans in front of me, my own mic and in-ears, and everything about it felt just the way I remembered.

I didn’t have much time to practise, and it’d been forever since I last sang.”The K-pop idol also touched on how he “thought I might cry if I started singing and got too worked up and started getting all emotional” and had “ranked up the volume on my in-ears to try and drown out the emotions”.“I had to put on a good show for the fans, so I couldn’t let myself get choked up to the point I couldn’t sing,” Jin revealed.
