BTS’s Jin continues to shine in his solo ventures with a milestone achievement: for the first time as a solo artist, Jin has officially entered the U.K.’s Official Albums Chart, debuting at No. 63 with his new mini album “Echo.”

The news was announced by the Official Charts on May 23, marking a significant moment in Jin’s solo career.

While he had previously charted as a soloist on the Official Singles Chart, this is his first solo appearance on the U.K. Albums Chart, one of the most prestigious music rankings globally and considered the British equivalent of the Billboard 200 in the United States.

Adding to the celebration, his title track “Don’t Say You Love Me” debuted at No. 58 on the Official Singles Chart, and performed exceptionally well across multiple U.K. sub-charts:

These numbers reflect not only Jin’s strong international fanbase but also the solid reception of his solo musical style. Known for his emotive vocals and introspective lyricism, Jin’s “Echo” has resonated with listeners around the world.

With this new achievement, Jin joins a growing list of BTS members making waves on the global charts individually, all while continuing to represent the group’s immense legacy.

Congratulations to Jin on his U.K. chart breakthrough!
