BTS member Jin has spoken out regarding his name being omitted from the album credits.

In an interview video with the U.S. music outlet 'Rolling Stone' on the 15th, Jin shared various stories regarding his fifth full-length album 'Arirang (ARIRANG)'.

That day, he began by saying, "This is an episode that has never been released anywhere, and in fact, I didn't do any work on it," adding, "I was on a solo tour."

Following the release of "Arirang," criticism arose over the omission of Jin's name from the song credits. At the time, Jin explained that he joined late due to his solo tour schedule, but this sparked various speculations.

Seemingly aware of this, Jin explained, "When the members arrived at the session location, over 100 songs had already been created. I spent about seven to 10 days conducting test recordings for the selected tracks. By the time that was finished, the sessions were already complete."

He added, "The session was scheduled three months in advance, and my tour was set even earlier, so the timing did not align." He further stated, "At that time, the members were also in the military, and since fans might have felt bored, we were making efforts to comfort them, and all the songs were completed during that period."

The host then remarked, "I can't help but wonder how much better it would have been if there were a few more composition credits," to which Jin replied with a smile, "I would have liked that too. However, the members performed so well that if I had been greedy and delayed the sessions for a few more months, our interview would have been postponed as well. Wouldn't the fans have been bored during those few extra months?"

Meanwhile, Jin said, "It's a bit regrettable, but my life isn't just about this moment. I believe opportunities will always arise. At the time, it was the best choice I could make."
