Fan backlash over removal of original track
“Why doesn’t Super Tuna 1 exist? It had 100 million streams! You could combine streams. Please tell me this is a bug; I can’t believe it’s been deleted!” one fan questioned in disbelief. Another user remarked, “So what you’re telling me is that the OG Super Tuna doesn’t exist anymore? Seok-jin actually deleted it? A song with 136 million streams?? Holy sh*t.”
The shock continued to ripple across social media platforms as another fan voiced their frustration, saying, “Hey, he deleted the old version of Super Tuna, which had over 100 million streams. Jin wasn’t kidding when he said he requested it to be taken down, but why? It achieved so much, and now it’s all gone?”
Beloved birthday gift now gone?
Originally released in 2021 as a surprise birthday gift for fans, Super Tuna was a tribute to Jin’s love of fishing. The track quickly gained popularity, garnering millions of streams and becoming a fan favorite.
However, the sudden decision to remove the original version and replace it with the extended one has left many puzzled and upset.
According to reports from Koreaboo, Jin had previously mentioned his intention to take down the original version. Nevertheless, the removal of a track with such widespread success has left fans wondering why such a well-loved song has disappeared.
Despite the release of the extended version, the deletion of the original Super Tuna by Jin has overshadowed the excitement surrounding the new video, with many fans still grappling with the abrupt change.
