For BTS as a whole — and for Jin individually — there have been countless titles and achievements that have solidified their No. 1 position in the K-pop industry for an entire decade. Still, for fans and netizens, every new accomplishment from the global superstars becomes another moment of αωє and celebration.
This month, fans are celebrating the group’s No. 1 ranking on the Boy Group Brand Reputation Rankings released by the кσяєα Corporate Reputation Research Institute. Meanwhile, in the corresponding individual rankings, Jimin and Jungkook secured the No. 1 and No. 2 spots, Jin and V placed within the top 10, and RM, j-hope, and SUGA ranked within the top 20.
Continuing the streak of No. 1s, on the 15th, Jin was also announced as the leader of MY1PICK’s monthly chart. MY1PICK is a voting application for K-pop fans, allowing users to vote for their favorite idols and participate in themed polls and surveys. The October Monthly Chart (held from November 5 to November 10) was calculated based on 50% of October’s accumulated monthly votes and 50% of MY1PICK Chart's voting results.
Jin earned 13.90% of the accumulated votes for October and 29.50% from MY1PICK, achieving a combined total of 43.40% — an overwhelming vote share that secured him first place. Even more noteworthy is that the Worldwide Handsome star has maintained the No. 1 position for 19 consecutive months, from April last year through October this year, proving his unwavering and unmatched popularity.
Jin has also maintained exceptional performance across numerous other voting categories. In the weekly ranking for the “K-POP Individual Category,” he has held the No. 1 spot for 89 consecutive weeks, and in the monthly ranking, he has topped the list for 22 straight months, showcasing his overwhelming brand power.
In addition, he has repeatedly ranked first in various themed polls such as “Sкιℓℓed Artist Who Protects Your Hard Times,” “Sensible and Smart Star,” “Star Who Must Have Been Royalty in a Past Life,” “Top Advertising Model Trendsetter,” and many others — demonstrating his wide-ranging appeal.
Beyond voting platforms, Jin has also shown strong musical performance over the past year. His second solo mini album, Echo, released on May 16 last year, continues to receive steady love from listeners.
Notably, the title track “Don’t Say You Love Me” surpαѕѕed 600 million streams on Spotify as of October 26 — marking the fastest and first achievement of its kind in K-pop in 2025. As of November 15, the song has exceeded 644.4 million streams, data confirming its enduring global popularity since release.
Jin also recently wrapped up his solo concert tour, #RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR, which consisted of 18 shows across 9 cities in Asia, North αмєяι¢α, and Europe, along with two encore concerts in кσяєα. With just four shows in Europe (London and Amsterdam), he grossed approximately USD 11.5 million with nearly 50,700 attendees — setting the highest European tour revenue ever for a кσяєαn solo artist.
Globally, Jin’s tour recorded USD 32.5 million in revenue with over 217,000 attendees — an all-time record for an Asian solo artist. On top of that, his shows at Kyocera Dome (Osaka) on July 12–13, 2025 achieved USD 9.6 million in revenue, becoming the highest “single-venue box office” for any K-pop soloist in history.
In a K-pop landscape marked by intense competition among numerous male idols and solo performers, Jin’s long-running streak of achievements following his military discharge is seen as a clear reflection of consistent and powerful support from the public. ARMYs are filling social media with praise and pride over his latest accomplishments!
