BTS Jin’s upcoming solo album
For context, Jin remains the only BTS member to not have a solo album out yet. Being the oldest of the group, the singer was the first to enlist in the mandatory military service. So, the release of I’ll Be There has excited ARMY for what Jin has in store for them. While speaking about his album, Happy, Jin gave a spoiler-free review that read. I think it’ll be fun to perform. It’s different for each song, so I can’t say for sure, but if I were to compare it to the flavour of ‘ice cream,’ there’s soda, popping candy, and dark chocolate. I hope you look forward to it.”
