Jin of BTS has set a new milestone as a solo act in Europe. On the August 2025 monthly 'Billboard Top Tours' chart, Jin ranked No. 24 based on just four shows—August 5–6 in London and August 9–10 in Amsterdam—re-entering the chart for a second straight month. The run grossed about USD 11.5 million (about KRW 15.5 billion) from 50,700 attendees, marking the highest European tour revenue by a Korean solo artist and a new 'Billboard Top Tours' benchmark.
From June 28 to August 10 (local dates), Jin staged his first solo world tour and first standalone fan concert series, '#RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR', with 18 shows across nine cities: starting in Korea, then Chiba and Osaka in Japan, Anaheim, Dallas, Tampa, and Newark in the United States, and London and Amsterdam in Europe.
In July, Jin placed No. 9 on the monthly 'Billboard Top Tours' chart with the highest-ever revenue (about USD 32.5 million; about KRW 43.9 billion) and attendance (217,000) for an Asian soloist—figures achieved with only the 12 Japan and U.S. shows, excluding the Korea and Europe dates.
According to 'Billboard Top Boxscores', the July 12–13 concerts at Osaka’s Kyocera Dome grossed about USD 9.6 million (about KRW 13.0 billion) across two nights, setting the all-time single-venue boxscore record for a K-pop solo artist. The shows opened every level up to the eighth tier, plus limited-view seats, and sold out.
On the charts, Jin holds the most No. 1 songs (seven) in the history of 'Billboard World Digital Song Sales' for a soloist, and 'Echo' became the first—and only—2025 K-pop solo album to log more than 18 weeks on 'Billboard World Albums'. He is also the top-selling K-pop solo artist in the United States in 2025 by pure album sales.
Critical response has been strong worldwide: Rolling Stone gave the tour a five-star review and described Jin as a singular entertainer; Forbes praised his stable upper-register delivery and wide range; and Paris Match highlighted his humor, stage manners, and versatility as the complete package for fans.
Buoyed by demand, Jin has announced 'RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR_ENCORE' dates at Incheon Munhak Stadium Main Stadium on October 31–November 1.
