Not long after fans turned Super Tuna — the new solo song of BTS’ Jin – into a viral TikTok challenge, the senior-most member of the band confessed that he was embarrassed by it. Kim Seok-jin aka Jin of the iconic K-pop group released the energetic track on his 29th birthday on December 4. The upbeat trot song was made by the K-pop idol as an ode to his love for fishing. Alongside the song came a hilarious performance by Jin and two masked-up backup dancers. The senior-most member of BTS is seen imitating a flopping fish with the choreography.
And so if your social media feed is inundated with people’s oddly dancing fishy moves, blame it on Jin. Yes, the music video went unsurprisingly viral as fans showered love on the song because of its fun lyrics, energetic music and dance, and of course, Mr Worldwide Handsome. The ARMY responded with a ‘Super Tuna Challenge’ but soon Jin appeared on social media to say he is really embarrassed of it. The singer posted on a fan community app WeVerse saying, “No guys, don’t do a Super Tuna challenge that I didn’t even plan. No, I’m so embarrassed.” He explained to his fans that he made the song for fun adding that, “If it becomes a bigger deal, the company might want to make a second verse.”
