In the recent time, Jin is starting his activities as a solo artist. Jin's debut after 10 years as a solo artist has been loved by many fans and the media.
Even the Korean media said, Jinis writing a "花樣年華" (The Most Beautiful Moment In Life) as a solo artist, carrying out all-round activities ahead of his enlistment in the military. Besides, they also proved the success of Jin's solo career through the achievements he has achieved when promoting the new album.
Jin is really blooming with his own talent that makes all ARMYs and BTS proud:
In the middle of last month, Big Hit Music announced that Jin and BTS members would enlist in turn after finishing their individual activities. Accordingly, Jin will be the first member to join the army and he will also release a solo album to thank his fans before enlisting.
In the past nearly 1 month, Jin has successfully released his album and prepared a lot of content to promote the album. Besides, ARMYs also love it because they can often see Jin's image appearing before being apart for a while.
The achievements that Jin has achieved along with what he has done recently have made K-media fondly say that Jin is living the best moments of his life before enlisting, by being active in all genres including music and entertainment.
First, he is shaking up music charts with “The Astronaut” showing his own power beyond BTS. His first solo single contains his love for ARMY and was praised for maximizing the refreshing and dreamy vibes of the song with his unique sensibility which radiated his side as vocalist.
On the first day of its release, the song was streamed 4,146,790 times on Spotify, and ranked #17 on the Daily Top Songs Global chart. It was on the country/region Daily Top Songs chart in 54 countries/regions, including #1 in Thailand, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan.
In addition, as of the day after its release, it topped the iTunes Top Songs chart in 102 countries/regions around the world. It was successful globally, ranking #4 in Japan's Oricon Daily Digital Single Ranking. Thanks to this, it also performed well on the Billboard chart.
Jin's “The Astronaut” entered the Billboard Hot 100 at #51. In addition, it ranked #10 and #6 on the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global (excl. US) charts, respectively, which ranks by aggregating streams and sales in more than 200 countries/regions around the world.
They also mentioned that Jin, who imprinted his strong presence on the global charts with his solo single, received a lot of attention in Korea for his “worldwide” sense of entertainment.
Starting as a guest on the last episode of YouTube channel “Nothing Much Prepared,” Jin appeared on SBS "Running Man" and YouTube channel "Halmyungsoo" in a row, giving a big laugh. While showing the aspect of a drinker and a game master who took control of the host Lee Youngji in “Nothing Much Prepared,” he expressed his candid feelings about the life of a global star.
In Running Man, he emerged as a “worldwide paper doll,” thanks to his flamboyant performance, as well as chaotic comedy with the show’s cast.
Also, in “Halmyungsoo,” he brought up the bathroom episode with Park Myungsoo from 8 years ago and made Park Myungsoo flustered. Jin admitted that he himself had created the nickname “Worldwide Handsome,” completing the “best of all time” episode by showing an unparalleled candid side for fun and laughter.
Jin also succeeded in standing alone in advertising space. Jin was recently selected as endorsement model for Ottogi Jin Ramen. Ottogi cited that Jin Ramyun's sincerity about taste and Jin's sincerity about music are in line with each other as reason for selecting him as model.
Finally, they ended that with the possibility of enlisting as early as the end of this year, Jin has been active as a solo artist for about 3 weeks so far. This is the best moment for Jin, who has been active as a member of team BTS for 10 years since debut, as a solo artist Jin!
