Jin achieves new Billboard Records through his groundbreaking RUNSEOKJIN Tour, redefining success for K-pop soloists worldwide. His powerful performances and consistent chart dominance highlight both artistic depth and commercial appeal. Critics and fans alike celebrate Jin as a true global entertainer with unmatched influence.
Jin Shines on Billboard with Historic European Milestone
BTS member Jin continues to make history as a solo artist, achieving another Billboard breakthrough with his European leg of the RUNSEOKJIN Tour. In the August 2025 Billboard Top Tours, he ranked 24th, marking his second consecutive month on the chart. Despite performing only four shows—two in London and two in Amsterdam—Jin earned $11.5 million in revenue and attracted over 50,000 fans. This achievement cements him as the highest-grossing Korean solo artist in Europe, showing his unrivaled global reach and enduring popularity.
Global Triumph and Energy of the RUNSEOKJIN Tour
From June 28 to August 10, Jin led his first-ever solo world tour, the RUNSEOKJIN Tour, captivating fans across nine major cities—Seoul, Chiba, Osaka, Anaheim, Dallas, Tampa, Newark, London, and Amsterdam. Across 18 electrifying performances, he connected with audiences through humor, emotional depth, and effortless charisma. Each stop revealed a different side of Jin: a perfectionist musician, a storyteller, and a confident performer. Fans described the tour as both personal and cinematic, praising the experience as one of the most memorable solo acts in K-pop history.
Jin Expands Billboard Legacy through Record-Breaking Achievements
Jin’s success on the Billboard charts grew even stronger in July 2025, when he climbed to No. 9 on the Top Tours ranking with a staggering $32.5 million in earnings and 217,000 attendees. Remarkably, this record excluded his Korean and European concerts, covering only 12 shows in Japan and the U.S.. The feat drew major industry attention for its scale and efficiency. According to Billboard Top Boxscores, his Osaka Kyocera Dome shows alone generated $9.6 million, marking the highest single-venue gross ever achieved by a K-pop soloist. Every seat—from the main floor to restricted-view sections—was sold out, a rare occurrence even in Japan’s top stadiums.
RUNSEOKJIN Tour Wins Over Critics and Global Media
The RUNSEOKJIN Tour didn’t just dominate box offices—it won over critics worldwide. Rolling Stone UK awarded the tour a five-star rating, describing Jin as “a one-of-a-kind entertainer who transcends language and genre.” Forbes U.S. praised his flawless vocal control and emotional tone, emphasizing that Jin proved he was far more than just a visual icon. Paris Match France highlighted his humor, refined stage manners, and ability to shift between styles effortlessly. Together, these reviews positioned Jin as an artist who bridges cultural boundaries while delivering a performance that feels both intimate and universal.
Billboard Records Strengthened by Chart Dominance and Sales Power
Jin’s dominance extended beyond the stage and into the charts. He holds the most No.1 songs (seven) in the Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart’s history. His solo album “Echo” remains the only 2025 K-pop solo release to stay on the Billboard World Albums chart for over 18 consecutive weeks. This record remains unmatched by any peer. Based on pure album sales, Jin was also the top-selling K-pop solo artist in the U.S. in 2025. This achievement underscores his global market influence and artistic staying power. His ability to balance emotional sincerity with commercial appeal has made him one of the most trusted names in K-pop today.
