Jin will be the subsequent BTS member to unleash solo music, the singer told during the band’s free-of-charge “Yet to Come” show in South Korea on Saturday.
Jin made sure to spare the facts on names and dates, but he did state there was a single he made in collaboration “with someone that I’d always really liked,” according to a translation by Soompi.
“It’s not a huge album or anything, it’s just a single,” he confirmed. “I’ve filmed a lot different things recently, and there’s still a lot left to film, so I hope you’ll enjoy all of it.”

The collaboration will be his first lone release since BTS announced that its seven members — Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook — would be taking a hiatus earlier this June.
The weekend event, which was live-streamed in partnership with Weverse (the fan platform operated by the band’s management group Hybe Entertainment), raked in approximately 49 million views in support of Busan’s bid to host the 2030 World Expo.
Also during the concert, band members reassured fans about the looming break with J-Hope stating, “I think we’re in a phase where we need your trust.”
BIGHIT Music has released an official statement regarding Jin's single saying; "Jin will be releasing a solo single by the end of October. Regarding the specific date and time, the collaboration, etc will be announced later on."https://t.co/jmOrP1Jr6S#BTS #방탄소년단 @BTS_twt pic.twitter.com/sknbCU2Fdx

RM also echoed, “All seven members have the same thoughts right now. We will continue to make and perform music if you give us your trust.”
In the past three years, Jin has shared a few solo singles including 2019’s “Tonight,” 2020’s “Abyss” and last year’s “Yours” and “Super Tuna.” He is the second member of BTS to release solo music after the band announced that it would be taking a break to focus on individual careers.
