In November 2024, five months after his exit from mandatory military service, singer Kim Seok-jin, aka Jin, became the last of BTS’s seven members to release a solo project. <i>Happy</i> is a six-track EP from BTS’s eldest, a tenor known for his smooth vocals and warm, sometimes goofy persona. As with many BTS tracks—both solo and group—the six songs on <i>Happy</i> are designed as sources of comfort for world-weary listeners looking for a “Dynamite”-level kick-start to, or a “Spring Day”-like reassurance in, their daily routines. “I’ll Be There,” a rockabilly pop-rock track that has Jin promising listeners he will always sing for them, falls into the former category, while the sweet ballad “I will come to you” veers closer to the hopeful yearning of the latter (“When the warm spring breeze blows/I’ll go to you”).

Notable collaborators on <i>Happy</i> include Gary Barlow, the lead singer and primary songwriter of English rock band Take That. Barlow co-produced and co-wrote lead single “Running Wild,” a pop-rock track reminiscent of Jin’s 2022 Coldplay collab “The Astronaut.” Jin’s K-pop colleague WENDY, a vocalist for Red Velvet, lent her voice to the duet “Heart on the Window,” while Taka and Toru of Japanese rock band ONE OK ROCK co-wrote “Falling.” Big Hit Music producer and frequent BTS collaborator Pdogg worked on four of the six tracks, weaving Jin’s solo album debut even more tightly into the broader BTS musical journey.

重新发现主唱Jin...独自闪耀的存在感
防弹少年团 Jin X Coldplay…全球艺人们梦幻般的协同效应

另外，世纪之交的会面也值得关注。《The Astronaut》由Jin和Coldplay共同出演。继《My Universe》之后再次合作的他们展现的与众不同的魅力和梦幻般的协同效应引起了全世界音乐粉丝们的热烈关注。
流行摇滚(Pop Rock)类型的《The Astronaut》是一首平静的原声吉他和逐渐高涨的电音组合令人印象深刻的歌曲。Jin参与制作了包含对ARMY的爱的歌词，Coldplay也参与了制作，创作了一首吸引听众的歌曲。
歌曲将让毫无目的地流逝的"我"开始寻找梦想的所有人比喻为"你" 。在对对方充满深厚感情的歌词中，Jin特有的浓郁的感性和与清新的秋风相配的清凉感将梦幻的歌曲氛围最大化。

KBS 월화 드라마 ‘화랑’ OST 두 번째 트랙 공개
- 실력과 재능으로 똘똘 뭉친 ‘방탄소년단 - 뷔, 진’의 여심저격 ‘죽어도 너야’
‘화랑’ 이라는 소재로 뜨거운 열정과 패기, 애틋한 로맨스까지 가장 주목 받는 청춘 배우들이 총 집합한 KBS 드라마 ‘화랑’이 드디어 그들의 첫 이야기를 열었다.
지난주 공개된 한동근의 ‘그 곳이 어디든’이 애절한 로맨스를 예고했다면, 이번에 공개된 ‘죽어도 너야’는 재기 발랄하고 당찬 ‘화랑’ 들의 에너지를 느낄 수 있는 곡이다.
‘화랑’ 음악감독 ‘오준성’ 작곡가 곡인 ’죽어도 너야’는 경쾌한 그루브감를 살린 미디움 팝으로, 국내에서 뿐 아니라 해외까지 섭렵한 보이그룹 ‘방탄소년단’ 의 ‘뷔’와 ‘진’이 참여해 더욱 눈길을 끈다.
6인 6색의 화랑 중 귀엽고 사랑스러운 막내 ‘한성’ 역으로 첫 연기에 도전하며 극 중에서 타고난 끼를 발휘한 ‘뷔’와 멤버의 첫 연기 도전에 지원사격으로 나선 ‘진’은 감미롭고 섹시한 그리고 청량감 넘치는 보이스로 보컬로서의 매력을 발산했다.
’뷔’와 ‘진’의 새로운 도전이 돋보이는 화랑들의 테마곡 ‘죽어도 너야’는 이들의 과감한 사랑 고백을 담은 메세지로 여심몰이와 함께, 대표적인 로맨틱 코미디 드라마 ’꽃보다 남자’, ‘주군의 태양’, ‘운명처럼 널 사랑해’를 비롯한 ’신의’, ‘밤을 걷는 선비’ 등 로맨스 사극에서도 저력을 과시한 바 있는 오준성 작곡가의 곡인 만큼 드라마에도 활력을 불어넣어 줄 것으로 기대된다.

时下有不少香港歌手，明明大家都是中国人，却偏要跟你说英文。而在另一边的美国，有人的英文明明比中文流利，又并未忘本，即使程度一样属於「识听识讲，但系唔识睇」，依然夫子自道一个ABC的身份与成长。Jin tha MC，欧阳靖，数年前凭一曲《Learn Chinese》在Billboard高唱入榜，作为香港移民之子，今次索性以在家里由小说到大的广东话Rap足全碟，开门见山大数【ABC】。
音乐制作上大路隐阵，首首嘻哈也是两三分钟节拍强劲的货仔，比较平实，Mixing上也没有什麽花巧，始终专辑的重点仍是落在歌词之上。从封面的拼贴所见，出前一丁维他奶大白兔糖，卡式机叉烧饱与无线电视，骤眼看来这位竹升跟所谓的正宗唐人一样会饮茶唱K，然而再细听下去的内容，Jin与我们之间毕竟隔了一个太平洋，共鸣之馀，距离还在，有着思考的馀地。而歌中用字又保留了上一代的遣词造句，如陈封的市井粤语忽地复活过来，再加上其口音，绕有趣味。
这是一部个人的口述历史。从《ABC》的American Born Chinese别把我看扁的自白开始，《It’s Hiphop》霹雳大放的一章，透过饶舌口技Freestyle Battling而成名的辛酸史。《Speak Can’t Read》不识的中文自嘲，《Ape Shall Never Kill Ape》的冲凉猿人潮流纪事，《Wun Lern Chon》上一代移民捱骡仔的日子。而在十篇生活片段之中，《Yum Dom Cha》最会让人会心微笑，论述了不喜与人家搭台饮茶文化兼说：「如果点心系一套戏，虾饺一定会做主角，因为佢实在太好味。」，而同样较为轻松的小品情歌《Instant Noodle》则最易讨好入耳，「加两滴麻油已经香过咸鱼．但系食神都话越简单先难煮．煮个好面最紧要系用心．蜡烛我都点埋．你仲唔够冧」，甜煞。另一曲《1997》走温情路线，请来欧阳父开腔，怀旧香港岁月，未段改编巴士阿叔的对话营造，略嫌太过刻意，跟吴彦祖客串《HK Superstar》效果尔尔，感觉好土好土，不夹调。
单就美国市场而言，舍英语不用而以粤语代之，顾此失彼，无疑流於小众趣味。但比市场大小更重要的意义在於这是一张关乎歌者自我发声的专辑，那怕受众更少，认同为要。而在香港市场而言，【ABC】得到冷待是预料之内，虽然风格跟本地嘻哈组合农夫类近，但要说唱流行，不够道地不行。
首选：Instant Noodle．Yum Dom Cha (饮啖茶)

华人MC Jin（AKA Tha Emcee）的最新专辑
专辑只小范围发售 欲购买者可上Jin的Myspace进行跨国邮购 信用卡支付
It is his third official CD and was sold through MySpace.com only. It became available on November 1 to November 27 for his fans on MySpace.[1] People who ordered the album on those days got the album just in time for Christmas and specially autographed by Jin himself writing "PEACE JIN". It was then sold on CDBaby.com with limited copies being pressed and not autographed for people who were unable to purchase it before. Jin claims his reasons for selling it through MySpace only is because people don't buy CDs in the stores anymore. On top of that he wanted to avoid the hassles of putting the record in stores and get it to the public before the end of 2006. The first single from the CD is "36-24-36 (Applebottom Jeans)" and the project was executive produced by Roy P. Perez© .
