On Saturday, June 28, BTS' Jin kicked off his first solo world tour, RUN SEOKJIN_EP.TOUR, with its initial concert at Goyang Stadium in Seoul, South Korea. The tour started shortly after the release of the idol's second solo album, ECHO, which was launched on May 16, 2024.
Additionally, the idol explained that the tour will also serve as a finale for his South Korean variety show, RUN JIN, which was inspired by BTS' RUN BTS.
