Jin has been praised by Rolling Stone magazine as an outstanding composer and singer ever since 2020. A respected music critic, Rob Sheffield, even put 'Moon,' the song Jin composed, as the 7th best song of 2020. Jin is also the author of the 5th best boyband song in history, being the only K-pop artist in the Top 5. 

Jin definitely has a natural talent for making music, because his songs never fail to sound impressive, powerful, and immensely beautiful. He speaks his heart out through music. His official debut track 'The Astronaut,' was co-produced and co-written by him and Max Martin, together with Coldplay. The song performed amazingly on the global charts. NME scored the track with 4 stars. 

The year is close to its end, and Rolling Stone magazine has dropped the final list of 'The 100 Best Songs of 2022". 'The Astronaut' by Jin was placed #68, which is the highest ranking among K-pop soloists! 

Jin never fails to attract the attention of respected music critics with his exceptional approach toward art. His first solo album is going to be impressive!

Jin of BTS teamed up with Coldplay’s Chris Martin for “The Astronaut,” which was released as a message to fans ahead of Jin’s upcoming mandatory enlistment in South Korea’s military. The lyrics capture how BTS make their fans feel: “When I’m with you/There’s no one else/I get heaven to myself.” Fans will surely be listening to Jin’s strong vocals and heartfelt message in “The Astronaut” for years to come, especially while they miss Jin’s presence as he completes his service. — K.K.
