BTS’ Jin to release first solo album

Happy explores Jin’s journey to discover true happiness

Jin of 21st century pop icons BTS is set to release his first solo album Happy on November 15th via BigHit Music. The highly-anticipated album will arrive two years after the release of the beloved single “Astronaut” in 2022.

The project explores Jin’s journey to discover true happiness. Through the six-track album, Jin reveals his honest thoughts and feelings on what happiness means to him in the hopes that those who listen to the album will also find joy. Happy is a genuine, heartwarming gesture that invites listeners to join him on a journey to find happiness, offering them a sense of strength and comfort in their day-to-day lives.

The multifaceted global superstar has been making headlines throughout the year for his globe-trotting appearances at events globally and is dedicated to showing his appreciation for Army (BTS’ official fandom). As the first member of BTS to complete his mandatory military obligation, Jin made his first official appearance since his military discharge at ‘2024 FESTA,’ the annual festival held in celebration of BTS’ debut anniversary. In giving back to the Army’s unwavering support over the years, he presented several live performances and gave a light hug to each of the 1,000 fans onsite who welcomed his return with palpable excitement.

Following the fun-filled event that signaled the beginning of a new chapter for BTS, Jin has been at the center of worldwide attention. The megastar participated in the Paris 2024 Olympic Torch Relay in July and made waves in the fashion world as he was newly announced as the global ambassador of luxury brands Gucci and Fred.

Most recently, he unveiled the full version of his viral hit “Super Tuna.” The performance video titled “Jin of BTS ‘Super Tuna’ Special Performance Video,” the first version of the song revealed in December 2021, recently surpassed 100 million views on YouTube as of September 3rd.
