The concert kicked off a series of performances designed to strengthen the bond between Jin and his fans, following a break from his entertainment activities. The world tour was announced after the success of Jin’s variety show, “Run Jin,” which aired on BTS’ official YouTube channel, featuring 36 episodes and concluding in May 2025.

With laser lights and confetti cascading over the audience, the positive energy was palpable. Jin actively engaged with fans, asking about their enjoyment of the concert and delighting them by joining in playful barks that resonated throughout the crowd. The concert experience mimicked a live episode of “Run Jin,” as Jin incorporated games such as charades, where he impressively guessed “Coldplay,” recalling a viral moment from a past concert.
Among the standout moments was Jin’s rendition of his viral hit “Super Tuna,” performed while dressed in a farmer’s costume, a playful nod to the song’s lighthearted theme. The setlist also included heartfelt ballads that showcased his vocal prowess, with emotional performances of “I Will Come To You” and “Abyss” moving many audience members to tears. Jin didn’t shy away from BTS classics either, delivering a medley featuring beloved songs like “Dynamite” and “Spring Day,” connecting deeply with long-time fans.
One visually stunning segment included graphics of the universe as Jin performed “The Astronaut,” captivating the audience with its grandeur. As the concert reached its encore, Jin expressed gratitude to his fans during the performance of “Epiphany,” highlighting the appreciation he feels for their unwavering support.
