“He’s so respectful” — Fans react to BTS’ Jin revealing his way of supporting j-hope’s ongoing tour is by not releasing his own content
On March 9, 2025, during his Weverse livestream, BTS’ Jin shared his unique approach to supporting fellow bandmate j-hope’s ongoing HOPE ON THE STAGE world tour. The Grammy-nominated singer revealed that he chose to refrain from releasing his own content during this period, aiming to keep the spotlight on j-hope’s solo endeavors.
He said:
“Hobi has been doing a lot of activities, like concerts and shows and challenges and I thought it would be good manners to watch him happily from the back, maybe not manners, but I thought that would be good so I’ve been quietly doing my own thing, working and playing games,” (as translated by X user, @ryuminating).
The BTS fandom, ARMY, took to social media platforms and lauded the Running Wild singer-songwriter’s unwavering support for bandmate j-hope. One fan wrote on X:
“He said the same about jm’s album, he’s so respectful.”
Fans shared their thoughts on X on the Running Wild singer’s decision.
“Hope he gets the same amount of respect from the others as well….” a fan wrote.
“Such a good friend. I’m also grateful for this explanation for his quietness,” another fan wrote.
“Such good manners as always…a very good example to be followed. Respect is the word!” another fan said.
Similar reactions from fans flooded the social media platform.
“Jin has us so used to him that when he disappears for a few weeks we miss him too much but he always has a reason and this time it was because of Hobi… you are so perfect and unique my Jin we love you,” a fan remarked.
“He is truly admirable. Always respectful,supportive, & never interfering when it’s someone else’s time. I sincerely hope he receives the same respect and encouragement in return,” another fan stated.
“Jin is so thoughtful of the other members promoting their shows or releases,that he put aside his own interests. Wish everyone does that for him,” another fan commented.
