BTS interacts with ARMY on LIVE, gets cute substitute for Jin as he recovers from surgery

South Korean boyband BTS conducted a live session on the popular app VLive on March 19, 2022, where they interacted with the fans for a long time. The live session comes days after their successful Permission To Dance On Stage concerts in Seoul where they performed for three days in front of a live audience at the Olympic stadium as well as for the fans enjoying the show virtually. The concerts were a huge success as the band now prepares for their next performance at the 64h Grammy award ceremony on April 3, 2022.

However, the septet is facing a minor setback as the oldest member of the band, Jin recently underwent surgery following an injury on his finger. As he is recovering from the same, the 29-year-old could not join the rest of the members-- Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook-- to the exciting VLive. Nevertheless, the band did not forget about Jin and found a way to include him in the live session in the cutest way possible.

BTS ARMY took to social media to show their appreciation towards the band for their kind gesture. One fan wrote, ''As jin isn't here they made RJ sit with them.. They are adorable plz'' while another pointed out J-Hope saying, ''jin hyung should be here ''.
