Bang PD answered, "Not at all. Jin Young hyung�is not the type to get jealous of such things. He's the person who I think is the coolest of all, and the first person who came into my mind when BTS succeeded. Jin Young hyung was the first person I talked to on the phone when BTS received an award at 'Billboard Music Awards', and I've also talked with him on the phone when they recently attended 'AMAs'. He told me, 'I'm so proud of you. Thank you. You are amazing'."
