Echo will release worldwide on all major streaming platforms on May 16, with additional album details expected to be revealed in the coming weeks. Jin, born Kim Seok-jin, first rose to global prominence as a member of BTS, the Grammy-nominated South Korean group that has redefined the boundaries of pop music since their 2013 debut.
His previous solo works, including Awake, Epiphany, and Moon, have showcased his distinct vocal colour and emotional range. In 2022, he collaborated with Coldplay on The Astronaut. The announcement of Echo comes during an active period for the performer, who represented South Korea as a torchbearer in last year’s Paris 2024 Olympic Torch Relay before releasing his debut solo album, Happy.
