In the interview, Taehyung revealed that his decision to participate in “Jinny’s Kitchen” was influenced by his friends and fellow actors Park Seo Joon and Choi Woo Sik, who previously appeared in “Youn’s Kitchen.”
“Watching a variety show as a viewer and appearing on one are different experiences,” Taehyung said, adding, “But this time, I was able to appear with close friends, and their positive reviews made me decide to join the show.“
Taehyung also talked about his personal music projects and the challenges he faces when creating new songs.
“Having ambition is what keeps me going,” Taehyung said. “Completing one song that I like is a difficult task. There are times when I feel like giving up, but I keep trying.”
Following the cover reveal, Taehyung quickly dominated trends, with “#TAEHYUNGxELLE” trending at #1 worldwide on Twitter.
