The veteran artist explained that he had debated between using the words “God” or “fate” in the lyrics of his title track At This Point.Hyun admitted that most people in his company preferred “fate,” but he was still torn. He wanted another opinion, so he asked Jin for advice. Jin said he personally liked the phrase “God” but recommended going with “fate” because it would fit better in the song’s flow.Trusting his junior’s judgment, Lee Hyun agreed and kept the word as “fate.” He also expressed gratitude for Jin’s encouragement during the album preparations, as the BTS member had told him the song sounded good and provided feedback while polishing the lyrics. According to Star News, Lee Hyun said:”Actually, the company said it would be better if we went with ‘As Fate Would Have It,’ but that’s why I wanted to go with ‘As God Would Have It.’ But no matter how many times I tried to persuade them, it didn’t work. So I asked Jin, ‘What about you?’ and he said he liked ‘As God Would Have It,’ but he said he would go with ‘As Fate Would Have It.’ So I said, ‘Okay, then let’s go with that.'”Fans warmly received the story.
