BTS’s Jin recently stole the spotlight with his surprise collaboration stages alongside Coldplay during their Seoul concerts. The unexpected appearances left fans buzzing with excitement and wondering which global artist he might team up with next. Now, ahead of his highly anticipated solo tour RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR, Jin has dropped a big hint—and fans are loving it.
In a recent interview with BuzzFeed, aired on June 10, Jin took part in the popular “puppy interview” segment. Amidst the adorable chaos of playful pups, he was asked which artist he’d fanboy over the most if he ever got to meet them properly. Without hesitation, Jin named Bruno Mars, revealing just how much he admires the iconic pop star. “I’ve only met him in passing, but I would love to collaborate with Bruno Mars one day,” he shared with a smile, adding, “I’m a huge fan of his. I think it’d be really fun.”
Jin went on to explain that his love for Bruno Mars’s music started even before he debuted with BTS. “I often practiced my vocals by singing Just the Way You Are before debut. It’s one of my favorite songs,” he said, giving fans a nostalgic look into his trainee days. He also praised one of Bruno’s newer tracks, APT., especially highlighting the collaboration with BLACKPINK’s Rosé. “I love APT., his recent collab with Rosé,” Jin said, showing his appreciation for the song’s bright, catchy vibe.
As expected, ARMYs quickly took to social media to express their excitement about Jin’s dream collab. Fans couldn’t stop imagining what a Bruno Mars x Jin stage or track would sound like. Tweets poured in with messages like, “Hoping to see you both performing on one stage,” and “Praying we’ll get a collab one day.” The thought of these two powerhouse vocalists joining forces has fans eager and hopeful.
Some fans even suggested that Jin should release covers of his favorite Bruno Mars songs to hold them over until an official collab happens. His sweet vocals paired with Bruno’s soulful melodies? A match made in heaven, if you ask them.
With Jin now stepping into his solo era and openly expressing his admiration for Bruno Mars, fans are keeping their fingers crossed. If word of Jin’s love for his music reaches Bruno, who knows? We just might see a dream collab come to life.
