BTS' Jin made a comeback on May 16 with his second solo album, Echo. The album featured only one collaboration track, Loser with Yena, the former member of IZ*ONE, who is currently flourishing as a soloist.
Following the album release, the BTS member, Kim Seok-jin, also released a live performance video of the title track Don't Say You Love Me and Loser ft Yena, on May 18 on Dingo Music.
In the live performance video, Seok-jin and Yena stood closer than he did with Wendy for Heart on the Window from his first solo album, Happy. The duo also made eye contact during the performance, much to the delight of fans. They began sharing their reactions to the live performance and requesting a remake of Heart on the Window live performance, hoping for better chemistry this time.
"We need justice for Hotw. If u don't mind jin can we get another performance like this ?! (Og one will always iconic n fav)," one X user wrote.
"Absolutely love Jin singing with powerful female vocalists! First Wendy now Yena hope he works with both of them in the future cause their voices match really well," a user wrote
"Want this as opening song for Seokjin tour. Ft yena omg they sound so cool together," another fan wrote
"ONG WE REALLY GOT LOSER LIVE PERFORMANCE FROM JIN AND YENA, AND THEY SOUND SO AMAZING TOGETHER," another fan replied
Fans were truly surprised to witness an engaging live performance of the song. They aspired to be the next contender for such an experience with Jin. The request for Heart on the Window also continued:
"I HAVE NOW WORDS, I WAS HOLDING MY BREATH THE ENTIRE TIME. JIN AND YENA ARE SOOOOOOOO AMAZING!!!" a fan wrote
