Kim Seokjin (Jin) just added another shiny flex to his resume: his song “Echo” has officially earned 2x Platinum certification on the Circle Chart in South Korea, and ARMYs everywhere are in maximum proud mom mode.
“Echo,” which marked Jin’s triumphant return post-military, has captured hearts with its warm vocals and comforting lyrics, proving that Jin’s solo artistry isn’t just a side quest—it’s a main mission, and it’s paying off. The Circle Chart’s double platinum certification reflects over 200,000 downloads, a massive achievement that cements Jin’s status as a true hitmaker in Korea’s competitive music scene.
Fans immediately took to social media to celebrate, trending “SO PROUD OF YOU JIN” worldwide, sharing emotional clips of Jin performing “Echo,” and reminding everyone that the man known for his chaotic dad jokes, windshield-wiper laughter, and ethereal visuals is also out here racking up serious music milestones.
The success of “Echo” also shows how Jin’s music resonates deeply with listeners, especially post-military, as the song’s themes of reflection and gratitude hit even harder knowing the journey he has walked. His ability to deliver heartfelt vocals while keeping things effortless (and looking like a literal prince while doing it) continues to draw in new listeners while comforting longtime fans.
What makes this achievement sweeter is how Jin’s artistry has remained consistent with his personality: genuine, comforting, and unpretentious. Whether he’s singing live with raw emotion or sharing goofy Weverse posts, Jin proves that authenticity connects, and that’s why people are still downloading and streaming “Echo” months after its release.
The double platinum certification also signals that Jin’s solo chapter is thriving, even as BTS gears up for their full comeback. It proves that while BTS is powerful together, each member shines brilliantly on their own, and Jin’s success is a reminder that the best is yet to come for him, both solo and with BTS.
So here’s to Jin, for showing the world that Worldwide Handsome also means Worldwide Hitmaker, for reminding us that sincerity and talent will always resonate, and for continuing to gift us music that comforts, heals, and uplifts.
And to ARMY: keep streaming and downloading “Echo” until it’s triple platinum, because if there’s one thing we love to do, it’s supporting Jin as he keeps living his best, most sparkly life.
