During the episode, Jin spoke about “Dynamite” and how although it was hugely successful, it wasn’t a track the members were fond of at the start.

It was never the song that the members favored. We had a scheduled tour, but it got canceled due to the pandemic.

In the past, the discourse on “Dynamite” was divided, and there was a chance that some could take the comment from Jin to be a “gotcha” moment for anyone who voiced negative opinions about the song. There were even past comments that could arise where people linked their thoughts on the song to “BTS changing” or forgetting their Korean roots. Netizens worried that the comments would be taken out of context to be used for “validation.”
