Was BTS' Jin nervous or excited to romance Shin Se Kyung? Singer reveals behind-the-scenes secrets of Don't Say You Love Me comeback
BTS' Jin opens up about working with Shin Se Kyung in Don’t Say You Love Me MV, sharing behind-the-scenes moments and how he really felt on set.
BTS’s Jin is back — and he’s serving pure boyfriend energy this time. On May 16, he dropped the highly anticipated track Don’t Say You Love Me music video. Straight-up perfection. Emotional, cinematic, painful, satisfying and just the right amount of heartbreak.
Even before Don’t Say You Love Me dropped, ARMYs wore their detective hats. The second word got out that Jin would be starring alongside a female lead, fans launched into full investigation mode: Who’s the mystery woman?
Turns out, it’s Shin Se Kyung, the talented actress known for hits like Run On, The Girl Who Sees Smells, The Fashion King and more. And let’s just say — the chemistry? It was on point.
Still, behind all that on-screen emotion, BTS' Jin was quietly struggling with nerves. In an interview with Single List Korea, he got candid about the experience.
“It was my first time acting with an actor, so I was very awkward and clumsy. I was so nervous that things didn’t go as well as I had imagined. Still, I was really grateful to Shin Se-kyung for her passionate performance. If you look closely, you might find me acting awkward.”

It’s everything you’d expect from Jin’s first real step into dramatic storytelling. And whether he believes it or not, his performance hits hard.
For ARMYs, this isn’t just a comeback, it’s a new chapter. Jin is not just singing, he’s acting, emoting, and storytelling. And yes, he has officially entered the boyfriend era, and we’re all invited.
