BTS (BTS) Jin proved to be the most popular in Japan again.

According to the 2025 annual chart released by Oricon, Jin's solo album "Echo" ranked 39th, recording the No. 1 K-pop solo. This is the only K-pop solo to enter the chart, and Jin's unrivaled popularity in Japan was realized.

Jin's "Echo" was overwhelmingly popular on Billboard JAPAN's 2025 annual chart (November 25, 2024 - November 23, 2025) and ranked 24th, the highest among all K-pop artists, including groups and solos.

Billboard Japan's "Echo" ranked 41st on the annual "Top Album Sales Chart" in 2025. In particular, Jin was the first K-pop solo artist to enter the Billboard Japan annual "Top Album Sales Chart" with all three solo albums (2022, 2024, 2025), and each album made a new history with the highest ranking of K-pop solo albums in each year.

Jin also ranked No. 58 on the Billboard Japan Annual Artist 100 chart in 2025, ranking as the best Korean male solo artist.

Meanwhile, the Blu-ray "#RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR in JAPAN," which contains Jin's solo concert, topped the "Oricon Weekly Video Chart" released on February 5, showing explosive popularity and influence. "#RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR in JAPAN" featured Jin's concert at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka and set a rare record in Japan, opening up the eighth floor, the top of the Kyocera Dome, and opening up all the seats with limited visibility. Along with the fantastic stage of the visual king and live king, the spectacular sight of the audience filling the dome making waves was also a big topic.

Jin's world tour Blu-ray "#RUNSEOKJIN_epTOUR in Japan" topped Amazon Japan and Rakuten DVD/Blue-ray bestsellers immediately after the sale began, and also topped the Universal Music Japan Store hit product, proving its overwhelming popularity.

From June 28 to August 10 last year, Jin hosted his first solo world tour, "Run Seokjin Tour" (#RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR), which was his first solo fan concert in nine cities. In the "Top 20 Global Concert Tours by Polestar," which calculates artists' rankings based on average box office revenue by city, Jin broke the highest record for Asian soloists ever, and in July last year, she also wrote a new history as the highest record for Asian soloists ever in the "Billboard Top Tour Monthly Chart." In August, it entered the Billboard Top Tour monthly chart and achieved a new Billboard Top Tour record as the most profitable Korean solo artist on the European tour.

Jin showed his best performance as a successful solo musician and global icon, ranking No. 1 in the 2025 K-pop idol North American tour audience mobilization ranking.
