Jin of BTS just illuminated one of New York City's most iconic landmarks.

🌆 Echo Shines Bright

On May 21 (local time), Jin participated in a lighting ceremony at the Empire State Building, celebrating the release of his 2nd mini album Echo. The tower lit up in blue, pink, yellow, and white—each color representing a key theme from the album:

  • Blue for hope
  • Pink for love
  • Yellow for joy
  • White for new beginnings

🎶 Live Performance in the Heart of NYC

Jin also performed his title track Don't Say You Love Me live on site, his voice echoing through the city skyline as fans cheered and sang along.

💬 Jin's Message of Gratitude

"Just like music lights up our hearts, the Empire State Building brightens the city," said Jin during the event. "I hope our shared dreams and messages spread far and wide."

He added, "None of this would be possible without ARMY. You are my strength, and I thank you for being the echo that carries my voice across the world."
