Jin's Record-Breaking Solo Tour Ends: BTS Star Shares Encore Concert Photos After Historic Run
BTS member Jin posted emotional finale photos from his sold-out encore concerts on Instagram November 2, marking the end of his groundbreaking first solo world tour.
The 31-year-old vocalist wrapped up the "RunSeokjin EP Tour" with two nights at Incheon Munhak Stadium on October 31 and November 1, where fellow BTS members J-Hope, Jungkook, and V made surprise guest appearances.
Billboard Chart Domination
Jin's 18-show tour from June 28 to August 10 set multiple Asian solo artist records. He ranked #9 on Billboard's July Top Tours chart with $32.5 million in gross revenue and 217,000 attendees-the highest figures ever for an Asian soloist.
His four European shows alone generated $11.5 million, earning him the #24 spot on Billboard's August chart and making him the top-grossing Korean solo artist in Europe.
Sold-Out Shows Across Three Continents
The tour covered nine cities: Goyang (South Korea), Chiba and Osaka (Japan), Anaheim, Dallas, Tampa, and Newark (United States), plus London and Amsterdam (Europe).
Notable achievements include becoming the first Korean soloist to headline London's O2 Arena, setting attendance records at Anaheim's Honda Center, and drawing 130,000 fans across two nights at Osaka's Kyocera Dome.
Critical Praise and Fan Connection
Rolling Stone UK gave the tour five stars, calling Jin "a truly one-of-a-kind entertainer." Forbes praised his vocal stability and range, while fans highlighted the interactive format featuring variety show-style games between songs.
Unlike typical arena shows, Jin performed without backup dancers, relying solely on his vocals, live band, and audience engagement.
The Encore Finale
The Incheon encore concerts extended 30 minutes beyond regular shows. J-Hope and Jungkook joined Jin for "Super Tuna," "My Universe," and "IDOL," with both performing solo sets. V appeared for "Love Me Again," while Jimin attended as an audience member.
Jin also performed solo piano versions of songs originally sung by multiple BTS vocalists, including "The Truth Untold."
The concerts were livestreamed globally via Weverse, with tickets selling out despite going on sale just 11 days before the first show-a testament to fan demand that prompted BigHit Music to add the encore dates.
Chart Success Beyond Touring
Jin holds the record for most #1 songs (seven) on Billboard's World Digital Song Sales chart among all solo artists. His album "Echo" remained on Billboard's World Albums chart for over 18 consecutive weeks, the longest 2025 run for any K-pop solo release.
What's Next
With all BTS members having completed military service, the group plans to reunite in 2026. Jin's tour success-following his discharge in June 2024 and album releases "Happy" (November 2024) and "Echo" (May 2025)-sets high expectations for the group's comeback.
The Instagram photos Jin shared capture intimate backstage moments, on-stage performances with his touring band, and group shots with BTS members who joined the finale-preserving memories from a tour that redefined what's possible for Asian solo artists in the global music market.
