BTS Jin moved by ARMY learning Korean, shares why he avoids hand contact at shows
BTS member Jin made history as the first and only Asian solo artist to sell out a solo concert at London's iconic O2 Arena on August 5. Preparing to conclude the UK leg of his 'Run Seokjin Ep Tour' with a second consecutive sold-out show at the venue, he was met with an enthusiastic reception from the 20,000 fans in the performance, Jin was taken aback to realise that many fans were able to understand his Korean remarks even before the interpreter translated them. Curious and impressed, he asked if ARMY had started learning Korean because of BTS, and was pleasantly surprised when the crowd responded that fans were reacting directly to his comments without waiting for an English translation, he asked, 'Does anyone speak Korean here?' When fans confirmed, he added, 'Earlier when I was talking and singing, it seemed about 10 per cent of you understood me. Did you start learning Korean because of us?' Following a resounding 'yes', he expressed his gratitude. In a livestream after the concert, Jin spoke about why he had stopped the high-five tradition he had maintained during earlier shows on the tour. He explained that on several occasions, rather than a simple touch, some fans had grabbed onto him tightly, which caused him to lean dangerously towards the crowd. Despite asking fans to be gentle, the issue persisted, and for safety reasons, he decided to stop all hand contact and instead focus on the Moon introduction sing-along the potential security risks, he shared, 'After being pulled several times, I became scared and couldn't carry on with the hand-touching. I just thought, if something were to go wrong because of me, I'd feel absolutely awful. Even though the fans genuinely wanted that moment of contact, I feel truly, truly sorry.'Jin is set to conclude his solo tour on August 10 and will then reunite with the other BTS members to work on their upcoming group comeback album.- EndsMust Watch
