BTS Jin's 'Super Tuna' Faces Criticism
Since its release, BTS Jin's "Super Tuna" immediately became a worldwide hit. However, the track received criticism from Japanese listeners with the lyrics, "Where did my fish go, the East sea, the West sea, where could my fish be."
They insisted that Jin should replace the word "East Sea" with "Sea of Japan." Since people all over the world listen to Jin's "Super Tuna," they might really call it "East Sea" whereas its real name is "Sea of Japan."

BTS Jin's songs are in Korean language and were not released as singles. He still managed to break the standards with his talent and versatility, which help him achieve great success and increase his global fame.
BTS Jin's worldwide popularity still grows until this day. More projects are expected from him in the future and more achievements to come.
