More about Jin’s latest solo activities
Kim Seok Jin, globally renowned as BTS member Jin, has scripted his name in the books of history through both group and solo endeavors. Within BTS, his solo tracks like Awake from the 2016 album WINGS, Epiphany from Love Yourself in 2018, and Moon featured on the 2020 album Map of the Soul showcase his powerful vocal abilities earning him the nickname, ‘silver vocals singer’.
Jin's solo career has been equally impressive. Starting with Tonight in 2019 and the heartfelt ballad Abyss in 2020, he demonstrated versatility and maturity as an artist. His contribution to the drama Jirisan with the main theme song Yours, released in October 2021, further solidified his presence as a soloist.
In October 2022, Jin made his official solo debut with The Astronaut, a song co-written with Coldplay. This milestone came just before his enlistment in December 2022, after which he returned on June 12, 2024, reuniting with BTS members and celebrating their 11th anniversary with special fan events.
Recently, Jin has been active in various projects, sharing glimpses from the recording studio and reportedly filming a YouTube variety show at POSUNG High School.
