BTS’ Jin set to make a powerful musical comeback with new solo album in May

BTS' Jin to launch new solo album

With a brand-new solo album set for release in May, BTS's Jin is officially making his eagerly awaited comeback to the music industry, igniting excitement among the ARMY community worldwide. Fans are ecstatic to finally hear confirmation of Jin's musical return after months of waiting.

On April 14, the Korean news site Newsen reported that Jin was finishing up his upcoming album with a May release date in mind. Soon after, BTS’ agency BIGHIT MUSIC confirmed the news, stating, “Jin is preparing for a new album with the goal of releasing it in May. We plan on releasing details regarding the comeback at a later date,” as quoted by Soompi.

Jin's next project will be his first musical release since Happy, his successful solo debut album released on November 15, 2024. Happy's stellar No. 4 debut on the Billboard 200 cemented Jin's status as a solo artist who can captivate audiences around the world. Both fans and critics were moved by the album's emotional depth, delicate lyrics, and Jin's calming, expressive vocals. Happy, the album's title track, received particular recognition for its reassuring message and poignant tone, which gave listeners a taste of Jin's reflective artistic abilities.

Since then, Jin has been delighting fans with his appearance on the hit variety show Kian’s Bizarre B&B, where his natural charm and humour have allowed audiences to see a more relaxed and relatable side of him off stage.
