BTS have been together for over a decade, weathering countless ups and downs, yet what remains with them forever is their full seven-member lineup — just as it was when they first debuted. This is no easy feat for K-pop groups, as most either disband, cannot maintain their original lineup, or go their separate ways as solo artists after just a few years.

BTS’s seven-member team and their unprecedented success maintained over ten years are the result of the tight bond among the members, with leader RM often called the “brain” and “backbone” of the group. RM’s leadership throughout the years is undeniable. He knows how to guide the members, unify their opinions, represent the group, and make the most accurate final decisions.

But alongside a decisive “brain,” a warm “heart” is also needed to maintain the bond and close relationship among the members. There is another member who has always supported RM since the very beginning, connecting the younger members with one another on an emotional level. He is also the one who helps keep the group’s atmosphere lighthearted and full of energy.

None other than Jin! And this was confirmed by Jungkook himself during a previous live broadcast with fans.

He shared with fans a moment when BTS reunited after a long time apart: "There's a reason our team's bright, Jin hyung is like that and has a role like that in the team. Ah I miss the members. Ah I miss our members. BTS!".

At that moment, he even played Jin’s “Super Tuna” and enjoyed it in high spirits, which made his point even more touching.

Not only that, Jungkook expressed his admiration for Jin’s creativity in writing the song: "Wow, Jin hyung really *shakes head* he's not normal aha I don't think I would have been able to do this. Did he really do this just for ARMY? ARMYs, you know how Jin hyung is, right? Wow how did he think to release a song like this aha (t/n: 'Super Tuna')".

From Jungkook’s perspective, it’s clear that Jin plays an irreplaceable role as the “heart” that keeps the seven of them beating as one!

Not only Jungkook but other members of the group also commented on Jin's ability to "break the gap" between group members. RM once praised Jin as the best person at "confiding softly and joking with everyone" while SUGA once affirmed "Jin has a special source of energy that only he has. Because he doesn't like shy and awkward situations, so he always tries to do a good job of transmitting energy and bringing a positive atmosphere."

In addition, Jimin also clearly understands that all of Jin's actions towards the members have the goal that BTS can be together forever and that makes him feel extremely grateful. j-hope also admitted: "Jin plays an important role in our group. He always gives strength to all members." And V was touched by Jin's care knowing that "he always appears strong on the outside and takes care of each member individually".

Fans cannot help but agree that Jin truly is the perfect spiritual anchor who keeps BTS connected at the heart:

- The light of bts our seokjin. OKAY TIME TO CRY MY EYES OUT THEN

- THE ONE AND ONLY KIM SEOKJIN, our moon. i’m abt to sob my eyes out

- he said jin is not normal and he raised by him

- Do you realize just how amazing Jin is? You can literally put him in ANY situation, even the most uncomfortable for him, and the man will adapt. No complaints, just adapt and THRIVE. Seriously, his mindset ASTOUNDS me.

- I still think this sums up exactly how important jins role has been in the group. I know people hate it when I say he’s a good hyung but!! He’s a good hyung! He gently encourages the rest of bts to do things

- Jin has the most realistic and macroscopic view of the whole team. He connects the huge team of BTS with the outside world, and keeps the balance of the entire team by bringing the realistic external perspectives into the team.

- i just love how everyone appreciates jin's personality, literally no one can resist his charms and the energy he brings to the table. he’s so gentle and kind and despite being a big superstar everyone quickly feels comfortable around him like he’s always been a part of the team
