BTS Jin once again demonstrated his dazzling popularity and immense influence as a solo artist, shining his presence.

On May 2, the official account of Korean Sales (@koreansales_twt) reported that Jin has entered the Billboard Japan Artists 100 for 70 weeks. This is a major record held by only three artists, including Jin, among all Korean solo artists in history.

Jin's solo mini-album 2nd release, 'Echo', whose title track 'Don't Say You Love Me' topped Spotify's Global (worldwide) chart on May 25, 2025, the world's largest music platform, making it the first song by an Asian artist to reach number one on Spotify's Global chart in 2025.

In the history of Japan's Spotify charts, the longest cumulative number-one record for a K-pop song is held by BTS's 'Butter' at 100 days at number one, BTS's 'Dynamite' at 84 days at number one for second place, and Jin's 'Don't Say You Love Me' at 80 days at number one for third place, writing a new history alongside his group BTS as a solo artist. Of course, this is the best record among K-pop solo artists.

Furthermore, Jin made history as the only K-pop solo artist to have two songs reach number one on the Spotify Japan Daily Top Songs chart. Jin and his group BTS are the only Korean artists to have multiple songs reach number one on the Spotify Japan Daily Top Songs chart in history. Jin's first mini-album 'HAPPY', whose title track 'Running Wild', broke BTS's 'Butter' record and achieved the highest single-day streaming for a K-pop artist on Spotify Japan's Daily Top Songs chart.

In Oricon's 2025 annual chart, Jin's solo album 'Echo' ranked 39th, setting a record as the top K-pop solo artist. This is the only chart entry among K-pop solo artists, proving Jin's unparalleled popularity in Japan as well.

Jin's 'Echo' also ranked 24th on Billboard Japan's 2025 annual chart (collection period: November 25, 2024 to November 23, 2025) in the 'Download Albums Chart', the highest ranking among all K-pop artists, including groups and soloists, demonstrating overwhelming popularity.

In Billboard Japan's 2025 annual 'Top Album Sales Chart', Jin's 'Echo' ranked 41st, the highest record for a K-pop solo artist. In particular, Jin is the first K-pop solo artist to have all of his released solo albums, including one solo single and two albums (2022, 2024, 2025), enter Billboard Japan's annual 'Top Album Sales Chart'. Each single and album set the highest ranking for a K-pop solo album in their respective years, writing a new history.

On February 5, Jin's solo concert Blu-ray '#RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR in JAPAN' ranked number one on the 'Oricon Weekly Video Chart', proving his explosive popularity and influence. '#RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR in JAPAN' captured Jin's Osaka Kyocera Dome solo concert, and in a solo concert, it set a rare record in Japan by opening all seats, including the 8th floor at the top of the Kyocera Dome and restricted-view seats, selling out completely.

According to Billboard Top Boxscores, Jin's '#RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR' performances held on the 12-13 last year at Osaka Kyocera Dome in Japan generated total revenue of $9.6 million, setting a new record for the highest and largest box score for a K-pop solo artist's concert schedule at a single venue. This is the number one box score record for a K-pop solo artist in history and the second-highest record for all K-pop artists, including groups.

During the two-day Arirang World Tour (BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG' IN JAPAN) performances at Tokyo Dome in Japan on April 17 and 18, Jin sold out merchandise (pickets) faster than any of the seven BTS members, making Japan feel like 'Jin Land'.
