"My most valuable treasure is our ARMY. Thanks to them, I've achieved and experienced so much." (Jin)
BTS's Jin opened up about what he considers the most valuable in his life and reflected on the changes he has experienced since completing his military service.
In September, Jin graced the cover of DICON's 24th issue during a photoshoot in Italy, collaborating for the second time with photographer Kim Hyungsik. The shoot captured Jin's daily life through an intricate lens.
In his interview with DICON, Jin shared how he has grown as an individual. "Meeting a variety of people has helped me better understand others. I've learned to respect other people's thoughts more, and that's a significant change for me," he said.
The topic Jin mentioned most frequently during the shoot was the "happiness of ARMY." He explained, "The reason is simple. The happiness of ARMY is my happiness."
"When I see ARMY happy, I can't help but feel happy too. Our ARMY must always be happy."
Jin added another heartfelt comment: "If ARMY isn't happy, then I'll make them happy. The happiness of ARMY has a greater impact on my own happiness," he shared sincerely.
He also revealed his plans for 2025: "I think I'll take some time to rest while preparing for the next steps. Of course, even while resting, I'll make sure to have time to connect with ARMY. ARMY always comes first," he hinted.
The issue also includes stories from Jin's conversations with staff on set, his birthday wish, his true feelings for ARMY, and film photos reflecting his unique perspective.
Spanning 200 pages, the magazine dives deep into the behind-the-scenes moments of the shoot, highlights Jin's charm through various keywords, and offers an analysis of his music, from his first solo song to his latest album.
Four different versions of the magazine have been prepared: Romantic Afternoon (Version A), Birthday Party (Version B), Time in the Garden (Version C), and A Day at the Mansion (Version D). Each version comes with special, exclusive perks tailored to its theme.
