BTS member Jin expressed heartfelt gratitude to his fans after sharing proof of receiving an award.

On the 22nd, Jin posted two photos holding the award on the global fan community platform Weverse. Along with the images, he wrote,
“The precious award our ARMY made for me has finally been delivered to me. Thank you so much. I will cherish it dearly,” conveying his sincere appreciation.

In the photos, Jin showcased his status as a fashion icon by pairing an Alo jacket with stylish pants and shoes. His small face, sharp features, and tall proportions drew attention, while his expression—filled with joy and gratitude—elicited an enthusiastic response from fans.

After completing his mandatory military service as an elite soldier on June 12, 2024, Jin personally proposed and held a fan meeting and hug event the following day, continuing his close communication with fans. He later released two solo albums, topping charts around the world.

From June 28 to August 10 last year, Jin held his first solo fan concert and first solo world tour, titled “RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR,” performing 18 shows across nine cities. The tour entered Pollstar’s Global Concert Tour Top 20, setting the highest record ever achieved by an Asian solo artist. It also ranked consecutively on Billboard’s Top Tours monthly chart in July and August, marking the best performance by an Asian soloist to date.

Although Jin initially stated that an encore concert would be difficult due to scheduling constraints, he responded to fans’ requests and held “RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR_ENCORE” on October 31 and November 1 at Incheon Munhak Stadium’s main arena, once again delivering unforgettable performances.

Rolling Stone UK awarded Jin’s world tour a perfect five-star rating, praising him as “a truly one-of-a-kind, unparalleled entertainer.” Forbes highlighted his vocal stability even in demanding high notes, analyzing his wide vocal range and control, while France’s Paris Match described Jin’s humor and stage presence as a perfect gift for fans.

A concert film capturing Jin’s Goyang performances, “RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR THE MOVIE,” was released worldwide and received an overwhelmingly enthusiastic response from fans.

Beyond music, Jin has also been active in variety entertainment, including the show “Daehwanja Jang”, earning multiple awards. He continues to communicate closely with fans by releasing his self-produced content “RUN SEOKJIN” weekly, which has now reached 36 episodes.
