Jin recently released the song “The Astronaut” and did some shows to promote the track. One of the shows that Jin chose was an interview on the YouTube channel Hal Myung Soo of host Park Myung Soo.
With the humor of Jin and Park Myung Soo, ARMYs were able to enjoy extremely interesting moments on the show. However, there is a story repeated by Jin that has made many ARMYs feel quite surprised but also impressed with Jin's handling.
In general, this is not the first time BTS has encountered this situation:
Recently, the program Hal Myung Soo with Jin's appearance was aired. Jin's appearance on the show surprised many people and the generation gap between the two is quite large but their comedic personalities are what makes ARMYs think why Jin chose this show.
Jin also explained that because he wanted to meet Park Myung Soo in person, he wanted to promote his new song on his show. Right from the start of the interview, the two had extremely interesting stories, especially about their first meeting in 2014.
Specifically, before officially meeting comedian Park Myung Soo in "Hal Myung Soo", Jin and BTS once met him in the sauna about 8 years ago. At that time, BTS were still very young artists and of course, they were not as successful and famous as they are now.
Eight years later, Jin on Park Myung Soo's show began to remember when the comedian refused them to take pictures and mocked them when they were just boys. Jin attacked Park Myung Soo in a humorous way, “Oh we met in the bathroom! And you said to leave quickly instead of just giving us a photo”.
At this point, Park Myung Soo becomes confused because of his past actions. He recounted the story with shyness, “In the past 7 celebrities greeted me like, We are BTS, in the bathroom and asked me if they could take a photo with me".
Then Jin helps him finish the story: "He just said, ya, just move out of the way". At this point, Park Myung Soo felt a bit embarrassed with this moment. He pointed out that he feels bad for treating BTS badly because he didn't know they would be so popular.
Park Myung Soo also expressed that he was really speechless and very sad. Although Jin didn't hold back as he recounted the rejection they endured, he was seen jokingly and deftly talking about this story at the beginning of the interview in a relaxed mood. It shows that Jin doesn't seem to mind Park Myung Soo's neglect in the past.
ARMY also felt quite annoyed with Park Myung Soo's attitude when he treated BTS and Jin in the past when they were not famous. But ARMY also felt extremely proud and delighted when Jin met Park Myung Soo face-to-face again and mentioned this story in a very generous way.
Now, Jin and BTS are the mainstay artists of the Korean entertainment industry and have achieved outstanding achievements. He meets the person who once thought they were boys and now that person regrets his bad actions earlier. It was a "sweet revenge".
It is similar to the story of Jungkook who was despised by Jo Seho a few years ago, but when he met again, Jo Seho had to feel ashamed for not respecting Jungkook. Similar to how RM exposed James Corden's bad behavior when talking about ARMY. Overall, at the moment, BTS has taken their success as the foundation of their confidence and made those who once looked down on them ashamed before them.
