San about filming ‘BAD’ challenge with Kai:
⛰️ When we filmed (challenge) with Kai hyung? I really meet up with Jongin hyung whenever we have time. Really, whenever we have time, we at least eat together, go to the sauna, watch a movie, do an escape room - whenever we have time, we see each other. Then one day I said to him again, “Hyung, could you do this… this together with me?” And he said, “Of course. What couldn’t I do for you? I can do everything for you.” So he really… really… because it was for his dongsaeng (younger brother), he worked so, so hard. Really, really. So I was really… really grateful. Truly. Really… Our hyung… Really… A true legend who has given me so much inspiration. A legend. Actually, Jongin hyung is a living legend. Ah, why did we pull on the tank top? (laughs) We were just doing things as the shoot went along, so it ended up happening like that. Originally, we had outer jackets. So Ini hyung and I were dancing wearing our jackets, then it was like, “Oh? You’re wearing a tank top.” “Oh? What? Hyung, you’re wearing a tank top?” “Oh? Then let’s take the jackets off and film one more time.” So we filmed it like that, and that take ended up being the one used at the end. (laughs) So, yeah. It was really spontaneous. Right there on the spot. Really on the spot. So I’d like to take this opportunity to say once again that it was such, such a happy and enjoyable time. I’m so, so grateful to hyung.
i want to take a moment for these beautiful words jongin shared. i’m so happy to see how much he’s grown and how at peace he is with himself and his mindset. i’m glad he’s changed his perspective. he doesn’t stress anymore, he simply focuses on moving forward, enjoying what he does, and cherishing every day because seeing his fans happy is what truly matters. as fans we couldn’t ask for more. good job jongin. we should all follow his example
