Jin couldn’t answer the question as he believes that the love between the army and  BTS can’t be explained in words.

Suga once stated that it’s too bad that he can’t express his feelings or love, so he is sometimes misunderstood. But he wanted the Army to know that he is always thinking about them, loves them, and is very thankful to have them in his life.
