Jin is set to release his second solo EP, “Echo,” on May 16. ‘Echo’ is an album that captures different moments of life that span different ‘resonances.’
The album consists of seven tracks, including the title track ‘Don’t Say You Love Me,’ which talks about the irony of not being able to let go of love easily even when the relationship is falling apart, and “Rope It,” which carries the message that you need to boldly let go to get what you want.
Jin participated in writing the lyrics for the songs “Loser,” “Rope It,” featuring singer Choi Ye Na, and “Traveling with the Clouds.”
Along with the album release, Jin is also preparing many fan events including a live event called 'Don't Say You Love Me @Seongsu' at Anderson C in Seongdong-gu, Seoul on May 17. A fan event at a movie theater in Seoul is also scheduled for May 18.
Most notably, a few hours ago, a fan spotted Jin at the Han River, seemingly doing some promotional content for his second solo album. "Worldwide Handsome" was seen sitting on a duck boat hanging a banner with the album's name and a line "Daebak(big) comeback" and cruising along the riverbank.
"Hello, I spotted Seokjin riding a duck boat on the Han River. It looked like he was working hard to prepare for his comeback~ The quality isn’t high-res, but his handsomeness shines through the low resolution, so I thought I’d share this. Cheering for the Echo comeback—fιgнтing!!! I’m posting this since it was taken at the scene during filming, but please let me know if there’s any issue...!", OP wrote in a post sharing photos she took of Jin today on theqoo.
Jin's appearance along with some of OP's discoveries excited netizens. They expressed their excitement for the promotional content that Jin is preparing:
- Wow!!!!!!! Thank you—this is amazing!
- Kyaa, looks like there’s soмєтнing fun going on again—thank you!

After releasing the album, Jin also immediately started his world tour “RunSeokjin Ep. Tour” from June 28 in Goyang, Gyeonggi and stopped in nine cities including Osaka, Dallas, Newark, London, and Amsterdam.
Among them, the concert held at the Auxiliary Stadium of Goyang Sports Complex on June 28 and 29 sold out as soon as the tickets went on sale.
During this tour, Jin will perform songs from his second mini album ‘Echo’ as well as songs from his first solo album ‘Happy’, which was released in November last year.
On the other hand, earlier this month, Jin received great respect from the au∂ιєnce when he donated 100 million KRW ($72,000) to Asan Medical Center in Songpa District on Children's Day. The donation will support the treatment of young patients as well as improve the medical environment.
