BTS member Jin made a memorable return to celebrate the group’s 11th anniversary at the 2024 FESTA, just a day after his military discharge. Amidst fan excitement, Jin treated ARMYs to a special event featuring hugs and live renditions of his beloved tracks like “Moon” and “The Astronaut.”
The highlight of the evening, however, was Jin’s unexpected performance of “Super Tuna,” a trot song he originally released as a playful gift to fans on his birthday in December 2021. The song, accompanied by a whimsical music video shot at Dockweiler Beach, quickly gained popularity beyond Jin’s expectations.
Initially taken aback by the emergence of a TikTok dance challenge inspired by “Super Tuna,” Jin expressed humorous embarrassment on Weverse, pleading for fans not to escalate the trend without his involvement.
To his amusement, the song’s infectious charm continued to grow, prompting Jin to jest about the possibility of an extended version.
At the 2024 FESTA, Jin surprised fans by performing an extended rendition of “Super Tuna,” complete with a new verse crafted alongside producer Bumzu.
Fans eagerly transcribed and translated the additional lyrics, hopeful for an official release. Despite Jin’s initial reservations, his dedication to enhancing the song underscored his deep appreciation for ARMYs and their unwavering support.
The extended version of “Super Tuna” remains highly anticipated among fans, highlighting Jin’s journey from a lighthearted gift to a cherished fan anthem that deepens the bond between BTS and ARMYs.
