Jin Abyss Live Reaction

I applaud Jin for putting himself in a vulnerable position. Releasing a track like this is deeply personal and must have been terrifying.  

A message from Jin👇

Hello, this is Jin.

Recently, during a press conference, there was a time when I said,

“I don’t want to share my sad emotions with the fans because I’d only want to show them good things.

However, when it comes to music, it’s a different story. Although I don’t want to share [such emotions] through my actions, I think it’d be okay to show the fans [such emotions] through music.”

To be honest, I experienced a major burnout lately, and I think it’s because I had many thoughts about myself that I [said such a thing].

Achieving No.1 on Billboard Hot 100, getting congratulated by many people — but am I someone who can receive all these..

There are many who love music more than I do, who are better with music more than I am — but is it okay that I get to have this joy and receive these congratulations..

Those were the thought I had, and the deeper I was submerged in thoughts, the more painful it felt, and that’s why I think I wanted to just put everything down.

I also got counseling on this and made it through each day. I then talked with Bang PD-nim, and he suggested writing a song on this emotion.

To him I said, “I’m not confident to do a good job, and what if the outcome is not good when I’m already at a position where I shouldn’t [fail]..”

And Band PD-nim said, “Such things are not important. But if you give it a try, you’ll surely do a good job. I’ll look for someone who has a good fit for you.”

So that’s how I met the songwriter Kye Beomju hyungnim, and I shared with him my current emotions and many other things..

He’s a lighthearted, positive person. He said he wanted to help me, and brightened me up with his positive energy, saying, “let’s write about many anxieties~ We can always try again if it doesn’t quite work.”

So we talked on many things, he made a track out of my emotions on the spot, I wrote down what I wanted to say, and Abyss was complete. I’d like to say thank you to Kye Beomju hyungnim once again.

It’s a bit gloomy song that doesn’t suit ‘birthday,’ but I thought it’d be awkward to release this on another day other than my birthday, so I decided to release Abyss [on my birthday].

ARMYs, please enjoy this song even if it might be lacking.

ps. To our leader-nim who wrote the lyrics of the chorus, thank you.
