He responded by saying that a team comprises people who support and complete what he lacks. Choking up, he added that he cherished the BTS members so much that he’d even consider donating a kidney if one of them were sick. The powerful confession instantly struck a chord with fans worldwide. As per the translations by an X user, @btsmemeories, he said,

"A team is made up of people who can make up for what I lack. That's what I mean, people who give me strength, people who support me. When a member says they're sick, I really think I value my members so much that I could even give them a kidney if they needed it."
