Jin Closes His Fan Concert Tour with Grand Celebration
Jin brought his fan concert tour #RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR_ENCORE to a powerful close at Incheon Munhak Stadium on October 31 and November 1. The two-night event marked the emotional end of a journey that began in June, blending musical excellence with deep gratitude toward fans. Backed by a full live band, Jin performed 18 songs over two and a half hours, filling the stadium with energy and sincerity. His confident stage presence reminded fans that his artistry extends far beyond BTS, while still carrying the warmth of their shared legacy.
A Dynamic Opening That Captured Jin’s Story
Rather than entering from the main stage, Jin surprised everyone by sprinting around the stadium track, opening with Running Wild and I’ll Be There from his solo album Happy. The bold staging, inspired by his own idea, embodied the phrase “Run Seokjin.” It represented his promise to “run closer” to his fans and symbolized his return home after months on the global road. The moment felt both personal and cinematic—an image of an artist literally racing back to the people who made his journey possible.
Jin Shares Emotion and Artistry Through His Fan Concert
Standing before tens of thousands, Jin spoke softly yet confidently: “I prepared this encore to cross the finish line with ARMY.” His words captured the concert’s heart. He performed new arrangements, including a touching piano version of The Truth Untold (Feat. Steve Aoki) and the long-awaited return of Awake, his first solo track released eight years ago. The crowd’s response was thunderous, filled with admiration for his growth as both a vocalist and performer. Jin’s focus on live instrumentation and emotional delivery made every moment feel intimate despite the vast venue.
Games, Surprises, and BTS Energy
The show maintained a lighthearted rhythm through fan-interactive games like “Connect with ARMY” and “Sing with ARMY,” where Jin laughed, guessed, and bantered with the audience. Midway through the concert, the energy soared when his BTS bandmates appeared. On the first night, j-hope and Jungkook joined him for a vibrant rendition of Super Tuna, turning the arena into a festival. The next night, V joined the stage, his eyes glistening as he said he had missed this sight. Each member then performed their own solo hits—j-hope’s Killin’ It Girl (Solo Version), Jungkook’s Standing Next to You, and V’s Love Me Again. Jimin’s surprise appearance on the second night completed the moment as the group performed IDOL, So What, and My Universe, rekindling memories of their strongest unity.
Fans Unite with Jin Through Emotion and Connection
As fireworks burst overhead, Jin ascended in a balloon shaped like Wootteo, the beloved character from his 2022 single The Astronaut. Floating slowly around the stadium, he waved to fans up close, creating a moment that felt both playful and profound. Despite the larger scale compared to his Goyang show in June, Jin made sure to reach every section of the crowd. During Nothing Without Your Love, waves of multicolored flashlights rippled across the stands. When he sang Moon, fans lifted moon-shaped papers toward his balloon, turning the entire stadium into a glowing galaxy of affection.

The concert concluded with the words “#RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR THE MOVIE” and “DECEMBER COMING SOON” flashing across the screen, teasing the continuation of his journey. The show reflected the storytelling spirit of his content series Run Seokjin, weaving humor, emotion, and performance into one cinematic experience. While most fans praised the event as a perfect finale, some Korean fans on theqoo noted that the second-day stage with V and Jimin felt somewhat spontaneous and underprepared. Still, many agreed that BTS achieves its truest brilliance when all seven members perform together. Jin closed the night by saying, “Your voices completed this concert. I’ll keep running with only you in my heart.” His words echoed long after the lights dimmed, capturing the essence of why fans continue to run beside him.

Y’all gotta remember BTS hasn’t done an OT7 stage in ages, so chill if it’s not perfect. No new album either, so cut them some slack! 💜
