BTS’ Jin kicked off his solo tour RUN SEOKJIN_EP.TOUR on June 28 at the Goyang Auxiliary Stadium. Among the many highlights, one lighthearted detail had fans laughing out loud—his concert-themed currency.
While concert merchandise has always included playful items, the mock “money” notes seen in the viral clips instantly stood out due to their pink color and the singer's goofy, over-the-top pose. The notes featured him fanning out real bills with his hands, with a flashy feather boa wrapped around his neck.
Fans who previously attended SUGA and j-hope’s solo concerts were quick to compare the currencies featured at those events. SUGA’s D-DAY Tour had sleek, serious-looking black-and-white bills, while j-hope’s HOPE ON THE STAGE used dramatic "high-value" notes often tossed at the crowd by air cannons.

In contrast, the Epiphany singer's version featured the phrase "SEOK-wenta" and a humorous design. It is still unclear if the singer's notes were official merchandise or fan-made, but either way, fans welcomed them as a perfect reflection of his quirky energy. Many stated that the viral notes were prepared by a fan base.
Social media was flooded with amused reactions when side-by-side pictures of the three notes went viral. An X user, @weare_bts7, wrote:
"Its matches their personality perfectly . I love it so much lmaoooo."
Some fans joked that the “50” value printed on his currency matched his personality with a side of self-aware mischief. Others noted the intentional unseriousness of the design. They said it felt exactly like something the singer himself would come up with.
"HE'S SO FUNNY I CANT DKSGDKSGH," a fan commented.
"The value on jin's money is literally what jin would give us if we ask for some...thats so him tbh," an X user wrote.
"Ami, I’ve seen these bills all over my timeline! The seok-wenta pun is hilarious, great job," another one added.
"Money is so cute and funny," a netizen commented.
A few pointed out that while SUGA’s and j-hope’s currencies looked like something out of an action film or music video, the pink color scheme, facial expression, and cheeky attitude captured the Happy singer's variety show charm perfectly.
"Hobi’s money vs jin’s money from the concerts - THE DIFFERENCE ahahaha," an X user added.
"The difference is killing me," another one added.
"If someone asks,' WHAT MAKES BTS VERSATILE?' pull this post up," a fan remarked.

Fans are already speculating what new games, visuals, or stage surprises he might introduce at the upcoming shows. The setlist includes a mix of fan favorites from BTS and solo hits like Don’t Say You Love Me, The Astronaut, and Running Wild.
