BTS ARMY has trended on Twitter speaking out against Big Hit Entertainment, the choreographers and others who have specifically removed Jin from the ON Music Video Dance breaks #RespectBtsJin, #UpdateONDanceBreak.
ARMY says this hashtag was not for the music video, but for potential live performance dance shows, where Jin won't be a part of the song used mostly by BigHit for publicity purposes.
It is not the first instance BigHit has removed jin.
The 2016 song Not Today provided Jin a camera time of 0.4 seconds in the four peculiar minute clip. He had just one line to perform, as well. Since that point, hashtags have been created calling for the right input on this debacle, which culminated in a blatant release of Jin material such as bangtan bombs and tweets.
Goods like posters, concert images, model books, etc. cut Jin several times, so to speak a BTS image.
An ARMY even made an open letter to Big Hit Entertainment regarding this issue. Below is the message of the fan:
"Title: BTS Jin Missing From ON Dance break
To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing in regards to BTS' "ON" Kinetic Manifesto Film: Come Prima and the BTS 'ON' Official MV. (https://youtu.be/gwMa6gpoE9I https://youtu.be/mPVDGOVjRQ0)
During the dance break in each respective video, the members are divided into two trios. This very noticeably excludes BTS member Jin, who is standing outside of the frame during these segments:
As fans and regular consumers of content from Bighit, we would like to see no members excluded.
In this particular case, it is jarring to see BTS, who we know as seven members have a segment that highlights six members and excludes Jin.
Many ARMYs have found this upsetting and disappointing, as we love and cherish each member, and dislike seeing anyone not included.
We understand that nothing can be done for these already released music videos and ask for your consideration in changing the dance break in future performances to include Seokjin as part of the 3x3 units.
Please consider this feedback for future performances of ON and future content, as ARMY loves BTS and BTS is not BTS if one member is missing."
Rumours floated around social media wherein it claims that Jin has been barely appreciated and that Big Hit Entertainment has been so strict when it comes to Jin.
A video clip from one of the band's V LIVE had been posted on Twitter showing how Jin thinks his hard work is not good enough as others, to which all the members quickly disagree with V holding his hand to calm him down.
Below is the complete non-verbatim of the members from the video:
Jin says, "To say a few words about practicing, I am not good at learning the moves compared to others."
V: "No, no! Jin you're good."
Jin: "How do you know?"
V: "Don't say such a thing."
RM looking at Jin confused
Jimin: "We know the best since we are there."
Jin: "My abilities could be a bit less."
V: "No, seriously!"
The scenario is becoming serious, and Jin seemed to have been breaking down after speaking out his feelings that he appeared to have kept inside him for a long time.
RM suddenly jumps in to cut the scene.
RM: "Hey, hey!"
Jin: "Don't get mad."
Jimin spoke to encourage him.
Jimin: "You've always been good."
Jin: "Ok, thank you."
Below is the netizens' reaction to the clip itself:
"The fact that jin, himself, thinks he's not good enough as the others, is all because people have been disregarding his talent and hard work. he has been pushed back so much that he thinks he's never good enough. #RespectBTSJin"
Jin has also literally revealed himself that he would start practicing the dance moves in advance before his bandmates so that he won't be a burden along the way when they perform the final dance.
A netizen wrote, "He thinks he lacks something, he literally works so hard, give the best of himself every single time."
Jin: "Anyhow, The first day we learned. I practiced before the others, for me not to fall behind."
To which the whole band agreed, but V seemed to have been startled a little, staring blankly at the air because he knew Jin was a feeling bad for himself.
The other members have made the ambience a little vibrant by applauding him and joking a little, concerning how serious Jin was in saying how much he worked hard to perform every dance performance.
Jin, who initially joined BigHit to be an actor, has still to accomplish his life goal.
