“At saktong sakto sa araw na ‘yun, birthday din pala ni Jin,” he said. “At dahil ‘yung kanta ko po, ‘yung chorus niya is ‘Jin Jin Jin,’ nagtataka po ‘yung BTS fans, ‘bakit ba siya kanta nang kanta ng pangalan ni Jin?’ Kaya doon nagkaroon ng interest po sa kanta ko.”

Young Tak added that with the support from fans, “it was a very thankful time.”
