"This is love"- Fans emotional as Jin reveals BTS' members' excitement for his post-tour return and V's clingy welcome

On August 9, 2025, BTS’ Jin went live on Weverse after completing the first night of his two-day finale at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam. This day marked the second-to-last day of his RunSeokjin Ep. Tour. While he usually streams after the final show of each stop, he explained that he wouldn’t be able to go live after the last concert this time. Therefore, he decided to connect with fans a day earlier.

During the livestream, Jin spoke about various topics. However, one moment stood out for fans. He revealed that members have been keeping in constant touch and that they often message him to ask when he will join them in Los Angeles. For those unaware, the rest of the BTS members are currently based in LA to prepare for group activities.

He recalled how, during his U.S. tour stops, V (Taehyung) greeted him with an especially warm welcome. The Epiphany singer revealed that V clung to him for several minutes and refused to let go. As translated by an X user, @bangtanharu, he said:

"the kids are always like when is hyung coming? Every day they ask me how many days until I return. We are waiting for you. Taehyung was like,'are you back now? and when i just arrived, he clung to me and didn't leave for a few minutes."

He explained that the members' frequent messages have made him even more excited to reunite with them. The affectionate gesture from V, along with the group’s eagerness, quickly became a hot topic online. An X user, @taesoothe, wrote:

"They reserved the best bedroom in the house for Seokjin, they keep asking when he is coming, Tae clung to him for minutes and wouldn't let go... This is so pure and childlike. This is love, pure and void of bad feelings."

Fans took to social media to express their emotions. Many shared how touched they were by the close bond between the members. Some said they couldn’t wait for the full group to be together again after being apart for such a long time.

Others praised V for openly showing affection toward the eldest member. Many pointed out how they missed BTS as a whole and longed for their next reunion.
