Teary-eyed Jin expresses love for BTS, says he could give any member his kidney; fans call them ‘a straight up family'
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), fan account @btsmemeories shared a bunch of clips and also translations of Jin and Masaki's conversation. Masaki asked Jin, 'What does teammate mean to Jin?' He replied, "A team is made up of people who can make up for what I lack. That's what I mean, people who give me strength, people who support me."
Jin continued, "When a member says they're sick, I really think I value my members so much that I could even give them a kidney if they needed it." Masaki said, "Oh, that's touching." Jin nodded as he closed his eyes and got emotional.
Reacting to the post, a fan said, 'Even family members won't tell something like this, bring my babies back together soon.' 'Literally cried... hobi once said his love for the member would not lose to ARMY's now Jin's declaration,' tweeted a person. 'Their love and admiration for each other are so strong and special .. I just love them so much,' read a comment. 'They are straight up a family and nobody can tell me otherwise,' wrote an X user.
When Masaki spoke about BTS reuniting next month, Jin revealed being scared and looking forward to it. The eldest BTS member said, 'I'm both looking forward to it and I'm scared. After I was discharged from the army, I wanted to work anyway, so I worked really hard. I've been running around without a break, so I wanted to take a break these days.'
"But I'm sure the members who will be discharged from the army want to work. Since we will be working as a group again, I'm looking forward to it, so it is both exciting and a bit scary." As Masaki asked Jin to not overwork and do his best, Jin said, "Mr Aiba will support me, so I will take care of my body and do my best."
During their conversation, Masaki also asked Jin about the kind of child he was. Jin replied, 'I was a kid who loved games so much that I knew all the games here. I still like it, so I'm still a child. I've cleared more than half of these.'
Masaki responded, "How did two boys who loved games end up becoming artists? Did you want to be an artist since you were a child?" Jin said, "I wanted to be, but I didn't know how to become one. I was recruited in the city when I was 20 years old because I was a handsome guy."
Jin, along with J-Hope, will reunite with RM, Suga, Jimin, Taehyung and Jungkook in June as they will get discharged from the military. Both Jin and J-Hope completed their military service last year.

Jujutsu Kaisen and the rise of anime's most iconic character, Gojo
If anime fandoms were a party, 'Jujutsu Kaisen' would be the guest who rolls up fashionably late, drops the bass, and suddenly everyone's like, 'Okay, this is the vibe.' MAPPA's supernatural sensation has turned into a cultural moment, the kind of show that lives rent-free in your brain even when you're just trying to eat first glance, 'Jujutsu Kaisen' looks like your typical shonen: a plucky teen, Yuji Itadori, dives into a cursed world and, against all odds, decides to fight the bad guys. Except, this 'bad guy' is a literal finger (yes, he eats it, yes, it's disgusting) belonging to Sukuna, the most terrifying curse to ever exist. From there, things go from 'yikes' to 'holy hell' at lightning speed. advertisementUnlike older shonen where the hero just trains, powers up, and punches harder each season, 'Jujutsu Kaisen' thrives on chaos. The fights are visual masterpieces, MAPPA animators clearly sold their souls for this level of fluid motion. But beneath the flashy punches and spell-casting, it's the emotional gut-punches that keep fans obsessed. Deaths matter. Friendships matter. Trauma isn't swept under the rug. It's equal parts heart-wrenching and hilarious, often in the same it's an anime that knows how to make you cry and meme at the same Satoru Gojo, anime's certified 'IT' boy Now, let's talk about the real showstopper, Satoru Gojo. He's not just another white-haired mentor character. He's the reason X formerly known as Twitter, has endless thirst edits clogging your feed at 2 am. Imagine Ryan Gosling's Kenergy from 'Barbie', but mix it with a blindfold, cosmic powers, and a sugar addiction. That's Gojo in a the strongest jujutsu sorcerer alive, and he never lets you forget it. His Infinity technique lets him swat curses like flies, all while cracking jokes and strutting around like he's on a runway. Gojo wears blindfolds the way Zendaya wears red carpet gowns, effortlessly iconic. His snowy hair alone could launch a shampoo ad equal parts ridiculous and terrifying, which is exactly why fans can't get enough. One second he's trolling his students, the next he's casually rewriting the laws of physics in battle. Scroll through anime fandom spaces and you'll find Gojo edits, memes, fan art, and dissertations (yes, actual ones) about why he's peak anime husband Gojo = pop culture phenomenonUnlike traditional mentor figures (looking at you, Kakashi and Jiraiya), Gojo doesn't just float in the background handing out wisdom. He's centre stage, stealing the spotlight from protagonists like it's second nature. He's powerful, but not in a boring, untouchable way. His charm makes him endlessly watchable. He's the kind of character people obsess over, not just put, 'Jujutsu Kaisen' is a global phenomenon because it blends raw emotion with jaw-dropping action. And Gojo? He's the Zendaya of the anime world, the effortlessly cool, untouchable icon everyone wants a piece of.
