BTS’s Jin has once again proven why he’s known as one of the most beloved and powerful solo acts in K-pop today.
On July 12, 2025, Jin successfully sold out the massive Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan, with his first-ever solo dome concert as part of his ongoing world tour, ‘RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR’.
This event marked a monumental achievement, not only as a career milestone for Jin, but also as a historic moment for K-pop as a whole.
The show amazed thousands of fans with a stunning blend of vocals, visuals, stage presence, and pure fan connection, making it a night to remember in the Japanese leg of the tour.
Despite being a solo artist embarking on his first global tour, Jin managed to fill the entire Kyocera Dome, one of Japan’s largest venues, including even the restricted-view seating areas in the uppermost tiers.
Due to the immense demand, organizers opened all possible seats, allowing every available spot to be filled by enthusiastic fans.
This feat underscores Jin’s magnetic draw as a performer and reflects just how eager fans were to see him live after his military service hiatus. For many, it was a long-awaited return, and Jin more than delivered.
The concert wasn’t just a success in terms of numbers—it also garnered widespread media coverage across Japan.
Major Japanese sports and entertainment publications such as Sports Nippon, Daily Sports, Nikkan Sports, Sports Hochi, and Sankei Sports all featured Jin on their front pages the day of and after the show.
Such high-profile media attention emphasized just how significant his presence in Japan is and showcased his ability to create headline-worthy buzz.
Fans and locals alike queued up early at venues and shopping centers to buy not only concert merchandise and newspapers with Jin’s features, but also consumer goods that he endorses.
Products such as Jin Ramen and Eye Gene eye drops, for which Jin is the global model, completely sold out in Osaka’s largest shopping malls, demonstrating the artist’s immense commercial influence.
Fanbases around the world also came together in a dazzling show of support. On social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), phrases such as KIM SEOKJIN and #RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR dominated global real-time trending charts.
In Osaka, the fanbase RUN WITH SEOKJIN deployed LED trucks to display Jin’s videos throughout the city.
Meanwhile, JINJAPAN FANBASE sponsored a striking ad cruise boat that sailed the waters around the venue on both concert days, making the celebration feel city-wide.
The scale of support, both online and offline, was nothing short of phenomenal.
On stage, Jin gave a performance that lived up to all expectations. With his hair elegantly swept back to reveal his signature visuals—earning him the nickname “god of beauty”—he delivered a flawless live performance.
His vocals, crystal-clear and powerful, moved effortlessly between delicate low tones and breathtaking high notes.
Jin’s natural charisma, graceful movement, and passionate expressions captured the hearts of everyone in the dome.
Beyond just singing and performing, he radiated warmth, humor, and sincerity, making the audience feel personally connected throughout the night.
Known as a “live king” and someone who deeply treasures his fans, Jin took every opportunity to engage with the crowd and make the show memorable.
After the concert, Jin further delighted ARMYs by going live on Weverse, where he chatted with fans in real time, giving them an intimate glimpse into his thoughts and feelings after the performance.
This spontaneous livestream further strengthened the already deep bond he shares with his supporters.
In fact, Jin’s popularity in Japan has led fans to affectionately dub the country “JINLAND,” a testament to his deep-rooted connection with Japanese fans.
Adding to the grandeur, the concert was also broadcast through Live Viewing in 43 CGV theaters in South Korea, and cinemas across 10 other countries and regions, allowing fans worldwide to share in the experience.
The July 13 show is slated for global livestreaming via Weverse, ensuring no fan misses out on the opportunity to witness Jin’s spectacular solo stage.
The ‘RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR’, which kicked off in South Korea on June 28, marks Jin’s official debut as a solo touring artist.
After completing two concerts in Chiba, and now a successful run in Osaka, the tour is scheduled to continue through nine more cities, including Anaheim, Dallas, Tampa, Newark, London, and Amsterdam, for a total of 18 shows.
Perhaps one of the most historic stops will be London, where Jin will become the first-ever K-pop soloist to headline the O2 Arena, one of Europe’s most prestigious venues.
This groundbreaking moment will not only be a highlight of his career but a major milestone in the international expansion of K-pop as a genre.
Jin’s Kyocera Dome concert is more than just a tour stop—it’s a clear reflection of his superstar power, deep artistic talent, and global resonance as both a performer and public figure.
With every note, every gesture, and every interaction, he proves that he’s not just a member of BTS, but a commanding solo force in his own right.
As the tour continues, fans worldwide are eagerly watching as Jin writes his own remarkable chapter in K-pop history.
