[!CDATA[Jin from BTS released his second solo album, 'Echo,' on May 16, 2025, along with the music video for the title track, 'Don't Say You Love Me.' The video premiered on YouTube and at Shinsegae Square in Seoul, but a technical issue with the screen caused Jin's face to appear distorted briefly, sparking discussions among fans on social media. Despite the glitch, fans enjoyed the album's release and Jin's return to music. 'Echo' explores emotional themes like heartbreak and healing through seven songs, with Jin co-writing most of the tracks. The lead single, 'Don't Say You Love Me,' was chosen for its emotional depth and relatable vibe. The music video, directed by Choi Seok and featuring actress Shin Kyung, tells a bittersweet love story in a cinematic style. Jin aims for the album to be diverse and enjoyable to perform, not limited to a single genre. He has been promoting his comeback through various performances and content, including a special episode of his show, RUN JIN, with guest Tom Cruise. Jin also performed 'Don't Say You Love Me' at Universal Studios in Japan, fulfilling a childhood dream. Fans can look forward to Jin's #RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR starting on June 28, with performances scheduled in Korea, Japan, the US, UK, and Europe. Despite the screen mishap during the music video premiere, Jin's return is being celebrated worldwide, and fans are eagerly anticipating more from him before BTS reunites later this year.]]
