Jin admits feeling 'awkward' performing duets outside BTS despite well-loved collab with YENA: 'It's difficult when...'
On June 15, BIGHIT MUSIC released a behind-the-scenes video titled 'Jin (진) Dingo Live Shoot Sketch' on the official BANGTANTV YouTube channel. The clip captured the BTS member preparing for a live performance of his song Loser, which features soloist YENA. The video offered fans a rare glimpse into Jin 's working process. It includes vocal rehearsals, candid reflections, and his honest thoughts about duet performances. Jin admits duets feel 'awkward' without BTS While the video was packed with light-hearted and playful moments, Jin took time to speak openly about the challenges he faces when singing with other artists. Jin shared that collaborating with outside performers, even someone as talented as YENA, can feel emotionally and musically unfamiliar. "It feels a bit awkward singing with people that aren't the members. I've worked with the members for at least a decade,' he stated. 'I can't help but respect people that do duets. For me... It's difficult when I hear someone else's voice.' He further explained, 'I guess it gets a bit confusing? When you sing, you sometimes end up following the other person's note. Since they're singing at a different note than me, it's a bit difficult but I'm doing my best.' Despite the discomfort, Jin said he continues to give his best, approaching every situation with professionalism. Fans praise Loser Despite Jin's own reservations, his duet with YENA on Loser has been met with overwhelming praise. The track combines his soothing delivery with YENA's powerful vocals, creating a unique soundscape that stands out within the album. Fans have taken to social media to rave about the song and musical chemistry. Loser is one of the tracks on Jin's solo album Echo, which dropped on May 16, 2025. The project marks a meaningful chapter in Jin's solo career. It gives fans a deeper look into his emotional and creative range. About Jin's Echo album Echo is a deeply personal 7-track album filled with reflective ballads, emotional vocals, and understated instrumentation. The title track Don't Say You Love Me is paired with a cinematic music video starring actress Shin Se Kyung. The album explores themes of longing, growth, and self-identity. The subjects resonate strongly with fans who've waited months for Jin's return. Echo tracklist: Don't Say You Love Me – Title Track Nothing Without Your Love Loser (feat. YENA) Rope It 구름과 떠나는 여행 (With the Clouds) Background 오늘의 나에게 (To Me, Today) Although Jin has confessed that working outside his comfort zone can be mentally demanding, his recent efforts show a willingness to grow as a soloist.

BTS' Jungkook sparks outrage with ‘Make Tokyo Great Again' hat, brand forced to apologise
BTS' Jungkook found himself at the center of a firestorm this week after a behind-the-scenes photo showed him wearing a cap that read 'Make Tokyo Great Again.' The image, snapped during rehearsals for J-Hope's Hope on the Stage Final at Goyang Sports Complex, triggered swift backlash in South Korea, where tensions over Japan's colonial past remain raw. The cap, produced by Japanese brand BASICKS, bore an uncanny resemblance to Donald Trump's MAGA slogan — a detail not lost on American fans either. In the U.S., where BTS has a massive following, many were quick to draw parallels to the divisive politics surrounding Trump's anti-immigrant policies, including those impacting Asian-American communities. BTS Jungkook seen wearing a 'Make Tokyo Great Again' caphttps:// — pannchoa (@pannchoa) June 13, 2025 Jungkook, just days after his military discharge, wasted no time responding. He posted an apology on Weverse, explaining that he discarded the hat immediately after realising its potential to offend. Adding fuel to the fire, BASICKS initially celebrated the controversy, boasting on Instagram about the cap selling out and even using Jungkook's image. Hours later, after facing mounting criticism from Korean netizens, the brand issued an apology. 'This design was not intended to convey any political stance; rather, it was an iconic way to express our hopes for a thriving Tokyo fashion scene,' they said, insisting no offense was meant. The incident also reignited scrutiny of HYBE's handling of scandals. Fans accused the agency of trying to deflect attention, pointing to the sudden resurfacing of old photos of NewJeans members, as tensions rise within HYBE's ranks.
