BTS' Jin and Red Velvet's Wendy perform duet standing closer than before, winning fans’ hearts

BTS' Jin and Red Velvet's Wendy delivered a live performance of "Heart On The Window," this time standing noticeably closer to each other.

On an online forum, netizens shared their amusement after Jin and Wendy talked about how they ended up singing closer together on stage compared to their previous performance. Their duet in November 2024 had gained playful attention for the wide distance between them, with several meters clearly separating the two throughout the performance.

During their most recent stage on June 29 at Jin's solo concert in Seoul, the two were seen standing closer than before—roughly just beyond arm’s length.

While chatting briefly on stage, they shared a funny moment: the concert’s stage director had apparently told them, "'If you two aren't going to stand closer to each other, then I will just eliminate this stage from the concert.'"

That change in distance didn’t go unnoticed by fans.

Netizens on the forum reacted with laughter, leaving comments such as: "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," and "They are both so beautiful and their visuals somehow match!"
