BTS' eldest member Jin is officially back from the military and has already started working on his new projects. At a press conference, his agency Hybe Labels revealed Jin will soon release his new album. This will be Jin's first solo album as he had only released solo songs before enlisting in the military. The singer teamed up with British band Coldplay to create the song 'The Astronaut', which was a way to say goodbye to his fans.
The company said at the press conference, "Artists under HYBE MUSIC GROUP APAC will continue to deliver stellar performances in the second half of 2024, starting with the solo album release by Jin of BTS later this year."

Jin has also been announced as the new global brand ambassador of the luxury brand Gucci.
He earlier celebrated BTS’ 11th anniversary with fans and hosted a grand event. While speaking at the event, Jin said, “I need to talk about FESTA. I gave a good idea, but it received a lot of criticism. I took a look at it so let me try to explain. I took a draft with me from the start. Since I am in charge of the FESTA by myself this time, I contacted the organizer around October, November last year. But they were honest and said they already planned everything so there wasn’t much left to do. They asked me if I had any ideas. I said I wanted to do a free hug event, but they said no.”
