Jin is back. And this time, he's bringing waves of emotion with him.
🎧 Jin's Second Mini Album 'Echo' Out Now
On May 16 at 1 PM KST, BTS's Jin released his highly anticipated second mini album Echo. The album explores everyday emotions and moments through the concept of "resonance."
While Happy delivered joy and warmth, Echo takes a more raw and reflective approach—expressing universal experiences through Jin's calm, sincere voice.
🎵 Title Track: 'Don't Say You Love Me'
The lead single Don't Say You Love Me captures the emotional contradictions of a crumbling relationship. With subdued pop-rock instrumentation and Jin's signature mellow vocals, the song hits deep.
💿 A Personal Touch—Jin Wrote Most of the Lyrics
The album includes 7 tracks, all rooted in live band sound. Jin personally wrote lyrics for most of them, shaping the album through his unique lens.
Other tracks include In Chaos, Miracle, Last VoW, and Goal In—showcasing the many sides of "Rock Jin."
🎤 Jin: "I Want This Album to Make You Feel Something"
In an interview shared via BIGHIT MUSIC, Jin opened up about his feelings around the comeback:
"I wanted to show the real me—what I sound like when I'm just Jin, singing. I hope this album makes your heart race a little. That's how it was for me."
💬 On the MV with Actress Shin Se-kyung
Jin also shared his experience filming the Don't Say You Love Me music video with actress Shin Se-kyung:
"It was my first time acting alongside a professional actress, so I was honestly nervous and awkward. But I'm so thankful for her energy and performance."
🎬 Behind the Scenes
"There was one scene in a parking lot—crazy wind was blowing. We had to change my hairstyle on the spot and shoot again. In the end, I think that spontaneous change gave the scene a fresh vibe."
🌍 A Touching Moment at Coldplay's Concert
"I joined Coldplay on stage during their Seoul concert. The audience's sing-along that night was so powerful—it truly echoed in my heart. I hope I get to experience something like that again."
