On June 28, BTS’s Jin officially kicked off his solo fan concert tour ‘#RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR’ (Run Seokjin Episode Tour in Goyang) at the Goyang Sports Complex Auxiliary Stadium in Goyang, South Korea. The concert will continue through June 29, signaling the start of an extensive global fan journey.
The tour is a spin-off from Jin’s self-produced variety content “Run Seokjin” on BTS’s official YouTube channel. The name reflects his symbolic journey to personally meet global fans, embodying both excitement and heartfelt connection.
Ahead of the concert, Jin shared his thoughts: “I’ve prepared with all my heart to bring happiness and fun to ARMY. I hope you enjoy the show with me.”
One of the highlights of the fan concert is the powerful fan sing-along, or “ttechang.” Jin expressed, “I want everyone to jump and sing along. If this moment becomes a joyful memory for all who attend, I’ll be truly happy.”
Guest performer Choi Yena joined Jin on stage on June 28, lending her support. She previously featured on Jin’s mini-album Echo released on May 16, collaborating on the track “Loser.” Fans are eager to see what chemistry the two artists will showcase live.
At today’s concert, fans were especially moved by the thoughtful detail on the commemorative towel given out at the venue. The towel included the message: “You’ve waited a long time. I missed you so much. I’ll sing for you endlessly.” This simple yet emotional phrase captured Jin’s sincerity and deep affection for ARMY.
Netizens reacted warmly, with many commenting on social media:
- 💜The towel of someone who succeeded in ticketing💜 They give this to those in general seating too, right?
- LOL the phrase feels like something Jin would’ve come up with—subtly crazy, hahaha

Following the Goyang concerts, Jin will continue his tour across nine cities, including Chiba and Osaka in Japan; Anaheim, Dallas, Tampa, and Newark in the U.S.; London in the UK; and Amsterdam in the Netherlands. The Goyang shows are also being live-streamed on Weverse and simultaneously broadcast at Jamsil Indoor Stadium via large screen for extended in-person viewing.
