BTS’ Jin has unveiled the official D-1 poster for his upcoming solo track Don’t Say You Love Me on May 15, 2025 KST, marking just one day left before its highly anticipated release on May 16. Released alongside another poster, this track serves as the title song for his new solo album ECHO.
His dive into a romantic concept and music video for the first time in his solo career is creating a buzz among fans. The MV stars K-drama actress Shin Sae-kyeong as the female lead, with the storyline unfolding as a love narrative between her and the BTS star.
One of the posters showcases the two sitting close, gazing into each other’s eyes, while the second poster is a collage of four emotionally charged scenes. The first frame is a black-and-white shot of Jin looking down from what seems to be a balcony with the words “Don’t Say You Love Me.”
The second part displays a shot of a figure walking away, with the phrase “You just gotta let me go” printed on the left. The third panel lists the names of the two stars, and the final part shows him and Shin Sae-kyeong running hand-in-hand.
The teaser for the song, released a day earlier, has already stirred up excitement among fans with its emotionally rich, bittersweet romantic tone. One fan said,
“OMGGG THEE REAL CINEMA IS COMING ”
ARMYs are especially eager to see how Jin brings this new genre to life, and many are already expressing overwhelming love and anticipation in the comments under the posters.
“This is gonna be soooooo pretty!! I just know! And as a long time kdrama lover, I've missed her.” A fan said.
