BTS’ Jin and Red Velvet’s Wendy Deliver Duet While Standing Closer, Captivating Fans

BTS’ Jin and Red Velvet’s Wendy surprised fans by changing things up during their live duet of “Heart On The Window” at Jin’s solo concert in Seoul on June 29. Unlike their earlier stage together in November 2024—where the two stood several meters apart, sparking a lot of playful chatter about the distance between them—this time, they were noticeably much closer, roughly just out of arm’s reach.

On stage, Jin and Wendy even joked about the shift in their proximity. According to them, the concert’s stage director gave a clear warning:

"’If you two aren’t going to stand closer to each other, then I will just eliminate this stage from the concert.’" Jin and Wendy

This directive clearly worked, as fans quickly picked up on the difference. The closer spacing was met with a lot of amusement online, especially on forums where netizens commented on both the performance and their on-stage chemistry.

One thread had comments like:

• "They still act awkward the minute they finish singing though lol"
• "Finally"
• "It’s so funny how they are both amazing in live singing but when they have to talk together it becomes awkward"
• "They say they got closer since Jin’s radio program appearance, but it still looks awk haha"
• "They are both so beautiful and their visuals somehow match!"

Beyond just the distance between the two, viewers loved how their connection seemed to be warming up, with several remarks about increased eye contact and smoother vocal exchanges. One fan share summed it up nicely:

"This time they made eye contact a lot too lololololol."

Others praised their live vocal skills and overall vibe:
