In the world of K-pop, the relationship between idols and fans is never just about music. An idol must be someone who brings influence and positive energy, a source of inspiration that helps fans find meaning and joy in life.

BTS is the perfect embodiment of this concept of “idol.” Over the years, the global group has not only captured au∂ιєnces with their heartfelt music and top-tier artistry, but has also been regarded by fans worldwide as a driving force in life. They have helped countless fans overcome some of the toughest moments, healed wounded hearts, and offered hope for a brighter future through perseverance.

BTS has always expressed their deep appreciation and gratitude to ARMY, acknowledging the tremendous support that has brought them to where they are today. Yet perhaps they don’t fully realize that their very existence is what fans are most grateful for.

Recently, a heartfelt post written by a longtime ARMY for Jin on Weverse went viral on social media for resonating deeply within the fandom. What made it even more special was that Jin actually saw the letter, read it in full, and left a reply that moved fans even more.

Specifically, the lengthy letter was a fan’s eight-year testimony of love for their idol—recalling moments of comfort brought by Jin’s voice and smile, and expressing the pride they felt while following his journey. The English translation as follow:

"Dear Seokjin oppa,

It’s already been 8 years since I started liking you. At first, I just thought you were handsome and funny, but as time went by, I came to realize the sincerity and dedication within you. Even though it’s already the 13th year since your debut, you’ve never been caught in any controversy and have always upheld the essence of being an idol, looking only toward your fans. That’s truly amazing and admirable.

You’re someone who always puts our happiness first. For me, your happiness comes before anything else. If there’s soмєтнing joyful, I want to be happy together with you; if there’s soмєтнing sad, I want to be sad together with you too. This past month, Seokjin oppa’s hometown concert was my very first concert in my life, and I could feel just how much you love being on stage. That pαѕѕion was delivered to me just as it was.

And the way you always manage yourself thoroughly to show us your best side is so admirable. I think no one understands better than I do how much effort you put into the job of being an idol. Even in difficult times, you always faced fans with a smiling face—thank you for that. Thanks to you, I was able to endure each day and smile again.

To me, you’re not just an idol—you’re someone who shows how sincerity, warmth, and a sense of responsibility can shine so brightly in life. From now on, I will continue to respect and support you in whatever form you take. Every moment of yours has been brilliant, it is now, and it will be in the future as well.

Thank you always, and I love you so much!"

The post touched countless ARMYs, with many leaving similar heartfelt messages for Jin in the comments. It even gained so much attention that Jin himself received it. Upon reading, he responded with a sweet message: “What should I say.. This is a post that makes me feel like I should work harder. I’m touched. I’ll work even harder. I also respect our ARMY!”

With just a few short lines, Jin conveyed humility, sincerity, and his deep affection for fans. Even as a top K-pop superstar, fans never feel a sense of distance from him. On the contrary, their love does not make him arrogant—it only makes him more aware of his responsibility to give back and work harder.

This moment of interaction between a devoted fan and Jin symbolizes the strong bond between BTS and ARMY: a relationship built on mutual support. If ARMYs see BTS as a source of strength and motivation, BTS in turn see ARMYs as the driving force to keep striving. Such a reciprocal connection is rare in K-pop, and one that many admire.

Soon after, the letter and Jin’s comment became the center of attention across online communities:
