Released on May 16, ‘Echo’ quickly made an impact on Billboard Japan’s 2025 mid-year charts. Despite limited tracking time, the album placed No. 18 on the Download Albums chart and No. 20 on Top Album Sales. Jin also ranked No. 62 on the Artist 100 chart, showing strong support from fans in Japan.
Globally, ‘Echo’ has been just as successful. The album debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, marking Jin’s highest position on the chart, and entered the UK’s Official Top 100 Albums at No. 63. Its lead single, ‘Don’t Say You Love Me’, is also climbing charts worldwide, reaching No. 2 on Spotify’s Weekly Top Songs Global chart and holding steady for two consecutive weeks.
Additionally, Jin is gearing up for his upcoming solo world concert tour, ‘RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR’, which will begin on June 28 in Goyang, South Korea.
Jin is also participating in BTS Festa, the group’s annual celebration that is set to wrap up on their debut anniversary, on June 13.
