BTS’ music may be what makes the K-pop juggernaut so irresistible, but the members’ close-knit chemistry also helps put fans under their spell.

This chemistry was on full display in the fourth season of Bon Voyage, the septet’s eight-part New Zealand travelogue reality show, which ended on Tuesday.

“These guys [the other BTS members] are a part of my daily life,” member Jin said in the last episode, as he reminisced about the trip. “They are always there, like my cellphone.”

The singer said he felt as if his cellphone was broken during the group’s one-month break in August. According to member V, it was longest time they had been apart since they were idol trainees. BTS headed to New Zealand in September, immediately after the holiday.

“And now that I have my phone back in working condition, I feel very much at ease, like I could do anything,” Jin said. “It feels like I’ve naturally gone back to my normal life.”
