Jin recently shared a backstory behind the fight scene with actress Shin Se-kyung at a Don't Say You Love Me @Seongsu fan event.
On May 17, 2025, the BTS member hosted a special fan event for his latest album in Seoul's Seongsu-dong. He performed songs from the album, including the lead single, Don't Say You Love Me and With the Cloud for the first time.
He sat down with host Jee Seok-jin and talked about his latest album, sharing many interesting anecdotes, including the making of the music video. He also discussed the fight scene between him and actress Shin Se-kyung in the MV of Don't Say You Love Me.
He said that there is a fight scene in the music video, but he has never fought in his life. He revealed that Shin Si-kyung told him to push her, but he refused and asked her instead to lead with the hitting part.
When the host asked whether he was referring to the scene where the pillow hits him, he stated, as translated by X account @mhereonlyforbts,
