BTS (BTS) Jin's song has proved its highest popularity by appearing in global sports big events again.

Jin's solo song "Running Wild" rang out at the 2026 WBC (World Baseball Classic) Korea-Taiwan match held at Tokyo Dome in Japan on the 8th, realizing his hot global popularity. Jin's clear yet solid voice and the melody of "Running Wild," which stimulates nostalgia, made the heated atmosphere of Tokyo Dome even hotter.

"Running Wild" is the title song of Jin's first solo album "HAPPY" released in November of the same year after a long wait after completing one of the best exemplary military service in June 2024, and has been loved by listeners around the world. Jin's "Running Wild" surpassed 1.7 million posts where songs were used on TikTok, a representative short-form widely used around the world, just 10 days after its release, ranking second in the most used Korean men's solo song ever on TikTok, following Sean's "Way Back Home."

In December of the same year, "Running Wild" also appeared on the broadcast of NFL football's Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions games, proving its strongest popularity. Global icon Jin's latest song was played on CBS' prime-time national sports TV broadcast. "Running Wild" also appeared several times on MBC's vote-counting broadcast of the 21st presidential election in June last year, causing a big buzz.

At the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, which closed on February 23, Jin's "Don't Say You Love Me" resonated for three days, making the hearts of listeners around the world pounding. The song appeared in the stadium after a free figure skating match between Canada's Lia Pereira and Trent Michaud on February 9 (Korea time), after the men's single short program match by Daniel Grasl in Italy on the 11th, and after the women's short program match by Kimi Lepond in Switzerland on the 18th, making the scene more beautiful with Jean's crystal voice.

"Don't Say You Love Me," the title song of Jin's second solo mini album "Echo," released in May last year, topped the world's largest music platform Spotify Global Chart (May 25, 2025) and became the first Asian singer to top the chart among the songs released in 2025. It's also the most played K-pop song of 2025 on Spotify.

Jin was the torchbearer for the "2024 Paris Summer Olympics" held in Paris, France, in July 2024, and Paris Match, France's largest weekly magazine, introduced Jin as the only foreigner among 31 stars who carried the torch. Paris March then praised Jean, who became the top global topic, as "a true prince who came to the throne 235 years after the French Revolution." The songs of the visual and vocal king Jin and Jin are also overwhelmingly popular in sports big events around the world, such as the Olympics and WBC.
