BTS' Jin has been recognised for his solo works multiple times by Forbes Korea

Forbes Korea has consistently recognized BTS’ eldest member, Jin, even before the achievement mentioned above. On January 3, 2025, he was named the "Best Male K-pop Idol" of the second half of 2024, securing 44.52% of the votes.

What made this particularly noteworthy was that Jin had only just completed his military service in the last month of the first half of the year. His dominance in the second half reflected the impact of his very first project post-discharge, showcasing the popularity of all his works.

In October 2024, he was also honored as the "Icon of Patriotism," receiving 6,203 votes, accounting for 54.75% of the total. This recognition was given in celebration of his then-recent military discharge and to mark Korea’s Armed Forces Day.

Professionally, Jin released two back-to-back solo albums shortly after his military discharge in June 2024. His first album, Happy, was released on November 15, 2024, followed by his second album, Echo, on May 16, 2025. The two albums showcased a wide contrast in style and tone, and fans praised the emotional range and versatility displayed in both.

The title track of his second album, Don’t Say You Love Me, was able to top multiple charts globally and reached No. 1 on Spotify’s Global Chart. This made him the first and only Asian artist in 2025 to achieve this feat. He also became one of just 4 K-pop soloists in history to top the Spotify Global Chart and the first Asian artist since 2020 to do so with a pop-rock song.
