Jin Reveals the Hidden Side of Being the Eldest in BTS: The Best Part, But Not Without Its Frustrations

Image
On April 15, Rolling Stone officially released the second individual interview between Kim Seokjin and senior writer Brian Hiatt, as part of a special project for its May issue. The conversation took place when Brian met with the members of BTS in Seoul this past February, just ahead of the group's long-awaited studio album release, ARIRANG. Similar to the previously released interview with Kim Namjoon, the two delved into a wide range of topics, from the making of the new album and individual project to Jin's reflective thoughts on life and career. One of the most interesting moments in the interview came when Brian Hiatt asked about Jin's role within the group: "What do you like and dislike about being the eldest in the band?" With his characteristic honesty and humor, BTS's eldest member did not hesitate to share both the endearing and somewhat ironic aspects of his relationship with the younger members. He explained that although he is the oldest, the mem...

        In K-pop culture, "fansites" are a concept that is far from unfamiliar to fans. They are individuals or groups of fans who operate independently, specializing in capturing photos and videos of idols at events such as concerts, airports, fansigns, or award ceremonies. With significant investment in equipment and skills, fansites often produce content whose quality rivals that or professional media outlets. Beyond simply documenting moments of their favourite idols, fansites also play a significant role in promoting artists' public image. High-resolution photos, clear fancams, and everyday moments widely shared across social media help idols reach a broader audience. In fact, many K-pop idols have risen to prominence quickly thanks to stunning photos or viral fancams created by fansites.     For this reason, many fans hold a special appreciation for fansites, as they satisfy viewing demand while also supporting idols in terms of media exposure. Howeve...
