BTS' much-loved Dinner Party series returned with its second edition during FESTA 2026, giving fans a glimpse of the group's candid conversations and playful chemistry. Among the many memorable moments, one exchange involving V (Kim Taehyung), Jin, and pop star Billie Eilish quickly became a talking point among ARMYs.
The conversation began as the members reflected on the Japan leg of their ARIRANG World Tour. BTS praised Japanese audiences for being highly engaged during performances and noted that many fans spent less time filming with their phones and more time enjoying the concert experience. This naturally led to a discussion about smartphone use at live events.
At that point, Taehyung casually brought up a recent interview given by Billie Eilish. However, instead of immediately explaining what she had said, he left the comment hanging, sparking Jin's curiosity. Jin repeatedly asked for details, eager to know why Taehyung had mentioned the Grammy-winning singer. The teasing only made the situation funnier, as the other members watched the exchange unfold.
The mystery was finally solved when J-Hope stepped in and explained Eilish's remarks. According to him, the singer had argued that recording concerts on phones is simply part of how many modern fans enjoy live music. Her view was that younger generations naturally document experiences through photos and videos, creating memories they can revisit later.
The explanation triggered laughter around the table, especially because Taehyung had deliberately delayed revealing the context while Jin grew increasingly impatient. Fans loved the moment, seeing it as another example of BTS' playful group dynamic and Taehyung's knack for teasing his oldest bandmate.
The discussion also highlighted a broader debate within the concert world. While some fans prefer to stay present and enjoy performances without screens, others cherish having videos and photos as keepsakes. BTS acknowledged both perspectives, noting that there is no single right way to experience a concert.
Though the topic centred on phones and live shows, the real highlight for viewers was the effortless banter between the seven members. Taehyung's playful withholding of information, Jin's curiosity, and the group's laughter turned an ordinary conversation into one of Dinner Party 2.0's most entertaining moments.
