Jin, a member of the K-pop boy band, announced his first-ever solo world tour today, and there are just eight American dates—including two in the Bay area.
A press release says the tour title, “#Runseokjin_EP.tour” (stylized in call-caps), is a spin-off of the 32-year-old’s variety YouTube series “Run Jin.”
“As the series comes to a close, Jin expressed his desire to continue connecting with fans by meeting them in person. In this way, the title is also a representation of Jin running to meet ARMY (BTS’ official fandom) around the globe through the upcoming tour,” the release added.
Other American cities on the tour include Anaheim, Dallas and Newark.
Mr. Worldwide Handsome is famously an anti-celebrity celebrity, who pursues happiness unapologetically through his music and content—despite BTS’ massive global popularity (the band’s net worth stands at $3.6 billion, according to GQ).
In addition to music and content, Jin also plays an employee on a Netflix show”Kian’s Bizarre B&B,” a role where you’d never guess he was part of the biggest group in the world.
Big on loving yourself, Jin’s solo song “Epiphany” preaches a message of loving yourself, while others like “Super Tuna” showcase his love of fishing.
