During the live, Jin spoke about their last Busan concert and how he postponed his service at the request of leader RM.

Talking about thier last Busan concert
🐹My actual plan was not do it and enlist in the military right away but Namjoon held on to me and said ‘Hyung, we have to do this. If we don’t do it now, we dont know when we'll be able to perform'
🐹(so i was like) Ahhhh Namjoona

Jin’s comments sparked a major discourse online.

While some shared how fans should be grateful to Jin for changing his military plans for the group…

Everyone should be eternally grateful to Seokjin bec if he acted like a diva, there wouldn’t be a Busan concert, Arirang album would be delayed, and Arirang tour would be short. Man is really so thoughtful and giving. https://t.co/3kGn2cr5aZ

seokjin made such a huge sacrifice. he was hoping to avoid winter enlistment at all costs but ultimately agreed to perform at busan for us one last time. everyone and their mamas should be grateful https://t.co/DoD8Ztiu9E

Others hit back at the members of BTS for being unwilling to compromise when it came to creating the ARIRANG album, especially after it was revealed Jin couldn’t participate due to his tour that had been planned.

Big sacrifice then…
He Kept the fandom engaged while they were away..

He wasn’t just considerate thn he made a major sacrifice taking it for the team all the hate, jabs and what not and he didn’t say a word. And in return they scheduled comeback camp right in the middle of his already exhausting tour like none of what he did even mattered. https://t.co/hOCyIb8ths

They fact that they can actually beg Jin to do the Busan concert so that they can say "goodbye", but couldn't wait for 3 weeks for their most awaited cb… Oh! Jin u r an angel, I would've called each & every one of them out for their ass behavior & for being unprofessional. https://t.co/2z4CdA5qId
