BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan) Jin successfully concluded a heartfelt fan event. Jin held 'Merry Run Around' today (24th) morning at Lotte World in Songpa District, Seoul. This special fan event was part of a face-to-face signing event commemorating the release of his solo album 'Happy'. As a K-POP artist, he received enthusiastic responses from fans worldwide for this unique attempt to hold a signing event on a merry-go-round for the first time. On this day, he met 50 fans before the opening of Lotte World and greeted them, saying, 'I wanted to hold a signing event, but I thought a regular signing event wouldn't be interesting, so I came up with this idea. I'm happy if you like it.' He then rode the merry-go-round, meeting each fan. The venue was filled with laughter as he wore various signing event items prepared by the ARMY (the name of BTS's fans). Especially during this event, Jin's affection for the fans was clearly evident. Originally, the event was designed for Jin and fans to ride the merry-go-round one-on-one and converse while going around. However, he requested to ride twice with each fan due to not having enough time to talk, which changed the event's format on the spot. As a result, he rode the merry-go-round over 100 times while conversing with fans. After the event, he shared, 'The happiest moments since my discharge were the '2024 FESTA' on June 13 and the 'Happy' release commemorative fan showcase held last week. I think I need to work hard to make everyone happy and entertained. I will strive to meet you all more often in the future.' Additionally, he gifted all fans present with free passes to Lotte World and special gifts. The location of this special fan event was particularly meaningful, aligning perfectly with the main concept of his new album 'Happy', which was released on the 15th. Jin's 1st solo album 'Happy' has topped global charts, recording the top spot on Japan's Oricon Weekly Digital Album Ranking (for the period of November 11-17) within three days of its release. The title track 'Running Wild' achieved his personal best performance, ranking 8th on Spotify's 'Daily Top Songs Global' and 25th on the UK's Official Singles Chart right after its release.
