More about BTS’ Jin

Jin's solo music video for The Astronaut reached a milestone of 100 million views on December 4, coinciding with his birthday, around 11:08 PM KST. It achieved this feat approximately one year, one month, six days, and 10 hours after its release on October 28, 2022, at 1 PM KST. The song was a collaborative effort, co-written by Jin himself, along with the British rock band Coldplay, known for their previous collaboration with BTS on My Universe, and Norwegian DJ Kygo, who teamed up with Bill Rahko for production.

Notably, Chris Martin's son, Moses Martin, also contributed to the creation of the track. The Astronaut delves into Jin's deep affection for his fans, exploring themes of connection and love with a cosmic motif that resonates throughout the song, reflecting the shared love for this creative theme by both Jin and the collaborating artists.
