Jin’s journey as a Kpop artist began in 2013 when he debuted with BTS alongside RM, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook. Although Happy marks his first full solo album, he officially began his solo career with the single The Astronaut in 2022. Since completing his military service on June 13, 2024, Jin has reconnected with fans, even making his first public appearance during BTS FESTA 2024 at Seoul's Jamsil Arena to celebrate the group’s 11th anniversary.
Adding to his post-military activities, Jin has appeared on several variety shows including the MBC show The Half-Star Hotel in Lost Island which marked his television comeback. Additionally, he also hosted his own variety show, RUN JIN, a spin-off of Run BTS in collaboration with BIGHIT Music. Fans can also look forward to seeing him guest-star in KIAN's Bizarre B&B, which is set to release in 2025.
On November 10, KST, the poster for the main track Running Wild from Jin's solo album Happy was released on social media platforms and ARMYs are loving the adorable message of 'You are loved' on it. Fans are also admiring the vibe of 'being free and happy' that the poster exudes.
