BTS’s Jin is out here serving us vocals, visuals, and the kind of grown, confident artistry that could carry an entire stadium tour alone, but apparently HYBE forgot their job description somewhere between printing money and ignoring ARMY’s requests. Fans are outraged over the glaring lack of promotions for Jin’s new EP, “RunSeokjin”, and the solo tour he’s been teasing since his military discharge.
Jin’s Ready. The Company? Not So Much.
Fresh off his military service, Jin dropped “RunSeokjin,” a tight, introspective EP that blends ballad power with the emotional resonance only he can deliver. He’s been hinting at a solo tour to showcase these tracks live, and let’s be real, the demand is there—Jin’s one of the most beloved artists in South Korea and internationally.
But despite having an entire fanbase foaming at the mouth to buy tickets, stream his songs, and flood social media with hashtags, the company’s marketing energy seems to have evaporated into thin air. Fans have pointed out the total lack of YouTube content, TikTok challenges, press appearances, and strategic playlisting that other HYBE artists are swimming in daily.
ARMY Says Enough
ARMYs have taken to X (formerly Twitter) and fan forums, calling HYBE out for what it is: negligence.
“It’s not like Jin doesn’t have the potential. He’s Jin. But without promotions, how will casual listeners discover him?”
“HYBE, you’re fumbling the bag. Promote Jin’s album or let him manage it himself.”
“RunSeokjin deserves the same push as any other BTS solo project.”
The frustration is amplified by the fact that “RunSeokjin” is performing well on its own, climbing charts and gathering critical praise, but imagine the impact if it actually had coordinated promotion behind it.
Is It Just Bad Timing or Bad Priorities?
HYBE’s focus on group-level BTS comeback teasers and other internal label priorities is understandable, but ignoring Jin’s solo momentum is not. This is an artist who just returned from serving his country and immediately jumped back into music for fans—he deserves full-scale support.
Final Thoughts: Jin Deserves Better
Jin is one of the most versatile members of BTS, blending humor, emotional depth, and stage presence in a way that makes people fall for him instantly. A “RunSeokjin” tour should be a headline event, not a soft whisper lost in the noise.
ARMY has proven time and again that they will promote and protect BTS with or without corporate backing, but HYBE’s silence here is a slap in the face to both Jin’s dedication and the fandom’s loyalty.
TL;DR:
- Jin’s new EP “RunSeokjin” and hinted solo tour are getting little to no promotion from HYBE.
- Fans are calling out the company for neglect, demanding fair treatment and promotion for Jin’s work.
- The EP is performing well, but with proper backing, it could reach even higher heights.
- HYBE needs to remember that BTS’s solo projects deserve the same energy as group comebacks, especially for a member who just completed military service for his country.
HYBE, consider this your friendly, slightly sarcastic, ARMY-backed reminder: Jin is ready. ARMY is ready. It’s your turn to show up.
