Jin will hold 18 performances during this tour, giving many fans a chance to see him live. The tour name #RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR is a spin-off of Jin’s own YouTube variety series “Run Seokjin.” The title also reflects the idea of Jin going on a journey to meet his fans, known as ARMY, around the world.

During the concerts, Jin will perform songs from both his upcoming second mini-album “Echo” and his first solo album “Happy”. The tour will highlight Jin’s musical style, which often includes band-based sounds and emotional performances. Fans can expect to enjoy a variety of songs that show Jin’s unique voice and personality. These concerts will be a special experience for fans, especially because this is the first time he will perform these songs on a solo tour.

Jin’s second mini-album “Echo”, will be released on May 16 at 1 PM (KST). This album focuses on the theme of how different moments in life spread out like echoes. Each song will express emotions and situations that many people can relate to. Jin helped create this album with a personal touch. He looked at common feelings through his own eyes and expressed them in an honest and simple way. This makes “Echo” a very sincere and meaningful album for both Jin and his fans.

The track list for his upcoming mini-album “Echo” was released on April 18. The album includes several new songs that explore themes of love, loss, and self-reflection, all told through Jin’s honest and emotional perspective. Each track promises a unique sound, blending soft rock, acoustic, and band-driven elements that highlight his growth as a solo artist. The title track is called “Don’t Say You Love Me”.

Before “Echo”, Jin released his first solo album “Happy” in November 2024. That album showed a lighter, more cheerful side of Jin and was well-received by fans. It included songs that highlighted his sweet voice and warm personality. While “Happy” had a more positive and bright tone, “Echo” seems to show a deeper, more emotional side of Jin. Together, the two albums show his growth as a solo artist and how much he has developed during his time away from the stage.
