BTS' Jin to kick off solo concerts with Choi Ye Na as special guest, here's what to expect from RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR
The duo will perform their track Loser, a fan-favorite song from Jin 's recently released second mini album, Echo. The announcement came just one day before the concert, surprising fans who didn't expect a guest appearance. The collaboration between Jin and Ye Na had already sparked attention when Loser was released. But now, ARMYs and Ye Na's fans alike are thrilled to witness the chemistry between the two artists live on stage.
RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR
Jin's fan-concert series, titled RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR is much more than a musical event. It serves as the official beginning of Jin's solo journey following his military discharge. It also acts as a continuation of the light-hearted, self-reflective tone introduced in his variety content, Run Seokjin. The tour's title cleverly draws from that project.
The tour kicks off with back-to-back shows in Goyang on June 28 and 29, followed by a series of international stops across Asia, North America, and Europe. His Japan leg will include Chiba and Osaka, with shows scheduled between July 5 and July 13.
The excitement doesn't stop there! Jin will also perform across four major U.S. cities: Anaheim, Dallas, Tampa, and Newark, before wrapping things up in London and Amsterdam in August. In every city, Jin will hold two nights of concerts. This gives fans ample opportunity to experience his live performances and interact with him up close.
What to expect: Echo, Happy, and much more
Fans attending the RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR can look forward to a diverse setlist that reflects Jin's growth as a soloist. At the heart of the performances will be songs from Echo, released on May 16. The mini album includes tracks such as Loser, Don't Say You Love Me, Nothing Without Your Love, among others.
The fan-concert will also feature songs from his earlier solo releases, including the heartfelt debut album Happy. The combination of old and new material is expected to provide a well-rounded glimpse into who Jin is as an individual artist.

BTS' J-Hope draws 178K audience on HOPE ON THE STAGE solo tour, powers HYBE's 85 percent North American revenue surge
HYBE reported a significant 85.7% increase in revenue in North America for the first quarter of 2025, reaching 133.25 billion KRW (approx. USD 102 million). The sharp growth was largely driven by BTS member j-hope's successful solo tour, Hope on the Stage, alongside performances by other HYBE America artists. According to a July 28 report by MTN News, this marks one of the biggest quarterly boosts for the company in recent years. Meritz Securities attributed much of the revenue jump to j-hope's tour and the growing presence of HYBE's American roster. The rapper's tour drew massive crowds in the U.S. and Mexico, highlighting his individual star power post-military service. 12 sold-out shows in the U.S. and Mexico Hope on the Stage kicked off in April 2025 and included 12 shows across major cities such as Brooklyn, Los Angeles, Oakland, and Mexico City. Around 178,000 fans attended the concerts. j-hope performed songs from his albums Jack in the Box and Hope on the Street Vol.1, with each show drawing consistent demand. MTN News highlighted the steady ticket sales across cities as a sign of BTS' ongoing fan loyalty and j-hope's solo appeal. HYBE also gained revenue through merchandise and fan spending. Analysts estimate that fans at U.S. concerts spent an average of USD 60 on merchandise, with about 22% of attendees making purchases. Here's how the tour wrapped up with a special BTS moment The tour officially ended on June 14 at Goyang Stadium in South Korea. The first night of the finale coincided with BTS' 12th anniversary and turned into an unexpected OT7 reunion. All seven BTS members attended to cheer j-hope on. Jin and Jungkook even joined him onstage to perform Jamais Vu, and later shared their own solo stages, an emotional moment fans later called the 'unofficial BTS 2025 Festa.' Despite earlier concerns about K-pop's slowdown, 2025 data shows a rebound. Acts like Stray Kids, ENHYPEN, ATEEZ, SEVENTEEN, and LE SSERAFIM ranked in the U.S. Top 10 CD Albums list for the first half of 2025, according to Luminate. Stray Kids' HOP sold 149,000 copies in the U.S., placing second overall.
