BTS‘ Jin announced the dates for his first-ever solo tour on Thursday (April 17), the #RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR. The outing that incorporates the singer’s full given name (Kim Seok-jin) will hit nine cities around the globe for two nights each, kicking off with a double-down at the Goyang Auxiliary Stadium in Goyang, South Korea on June 28 and 29, before moving on to the Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Hall in Chiba, Japan on July 5-6.
After a stop in Osaka, Japan for another pair of dates, the tour will jump to the U.S. for shows in California, Texas, Florida and New Jersey before winding down with two-fers in London and Amsterdam in August.
The tour reveal comes just two days after Jin announced the release date for his second solo album, Echo, which is due out on May 16. The collection is the follow-up the K-pop superstar’s 2024 debut solo effort, Happy. “Aiming to connect on a deeper level with fans through music, Echo offers Jin’s perspective on universal life experiences, capturing everyday emotions with warmth and sincerity,” read a statement. “Built on dynamic band sounds, the album showcases his versatile vocals across a spectrum of moods and styles. It reflects a deeper layer of vocal maturity and personal storytelling that underscores Jin’s evolving artistry.”
Jin was the seventh, and final, member of BTS to release a full solo LP and his second album will drop while ARMY awaits word on when the full band will reunite following a nearly three-year hiatus to allow its members to complete mandatory South Korean military service. At press time no official time table for the band’s return has been announced.
