Jin has been officially associated with Gucci since August 2024, making CELINE’s spotlight even more notable. Fellow BTS member V holds the title of CELINE's brand ambassador, making the post about Jin even more unexpected to fans. Yet, fans welcomed the moment as a reflection of the iconic moment of Jin's reunion with the British band.

Following CELINE’s post featuring BTS' Jin at Coldplay’s Seoul concert, fans took to social media to express their excitement and admiration. Many praised Jin’s presence and fashion influence, while others speculated on the dynamics between brand partnerships and individual styling freedom. One BTS' Jin's fan wrote:

"This is brand power Clearly Jin negotiated the freedom to wear what he wants. The members have been doing that since the beginning of their brand deals and "no brains" out here questioning whether they are spearheading their own careers."

BTS' Jin performs with Coldplay in Seoul creating fashion moments

On April 19, 2025, BTS' Jin made a notable appearance at Coldplay’s concert held at Goyang Stadium in Seoul. The event marked the artist's first stage performance with the British band since their last collaboration in 2022.

Jin joined Coldplay frontman Chris Martin for a live rendition of The Astronaut, performing on piano while Martin provided vocals. This was the second time the track was performed live by the duo, the first being in Buenos Aires in October 2022, during Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres tour.

That earlier appearance had been Jin’s final stage before enlisting for mandatory military service in December 2022.

During the Seoul concert, Jin was seen in an all-black outfit that included the CELINE leather jacket, t-shirt, and trousers. Following The Astronaut, he and the band also performed My Universe, their collaborative single released in 2021.

Meanwhile, on August 7, 2024, Gucci named BTS' Jin its global brand ambassador. The brand shared the news through an official social media announcement that featured him in designs from the Spring/Summer 2025 menswear collection.

His first official appearance as Gucci’s ambassador took place at Milan Fashion Week in September 2024. Jin later returned to the fashion event in February 2025, attending the opening day of the Fall/Winter 2025 showcase. At both events, his fashion choices—highlighted by monochrome leather ensembles paired with contrasting pastel elements—garnered attention within the industry.


BTS' Jin will return to the music spotlight with the release of his second mini album ECHO on May 16, 2025, at 1 p.m. KST. The upcoming album will feature a total of seven tracks and includes a special collaboration with singer Yena, formerly of IZ*ONE.

Alongside the album announcement, Jin revealed plans for his first solo world tour titled RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR. The tour will serve a dual purpose—showcasing his new music and wrapping up his solo variety project, RunJin.

The tour will begin in Goyang, South Korea, before heading to multiple cities across Japan and North America. It will conclude with final performances in select European venues. This marks Jin's first global tour as a solo artist following his return from military service.
