[OSENWORLD] Jin of BTS is set to reunite with ARMY for two unforgettable nights in Incheon, marking the grand finale of his first-ever solo fan concert tour.
The encore event, titled #RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR_ENCORE, will take place on October 31 and November 1 at Incheon Munhak Stadium’s Main Arena, with both in-person attendance and live streaming available through Weverse.
Ahead of the shows, Jin shared his thoughts and excitement through an official Q&A released by BigHit Music, raising anticipation among fans worldwide.
“During the last concert, there was a segment where ARMY members sang along and I had to guess the titles. Some fans said they felt bad about not singing well and promised to practice more this time. Honestly, I thought they were amazing,” he said, laughing. “It might be a bit chilly since it’s outdoors, so dress warmly — I’ll take responsibility for the heat on stage.”
The encore shows will feature a larger stage setup and newly arranged medley performances compared to the June fan concert in Goyang.
“We’ve expanded the scale so I can get even closer to the audience,” Jin explained. “There are also some old songs I haven’t performed for a long time. I’m curious if fans will remember them. There will be special stage effects exclusive to this encore, so please look forward to it.”
Reflecting on his global tour, which covered nine cities across Japan, the U.S., and Europe, Jin said the experience proved to be a meaningful learning journey.
“It was my first time leading an entire concert tour alone, so there was pressure. But as the shows went on, I learned how to manage the stage more steadily — and how to take care of my stamina and condition. Above all, ARMY’s energy gave me confidence and strength. Their cheers were even more passionate than I imagined.”
As the encore approaches, Jin admitted he feels both nervous and excited.
“This concert was born out of my desire to see ARMY again,” he said. “I’m working hard, trusting that they’ll be there waiting for me. I want this to be a time when both ARMY and I can truly let loose and enjoy ourselves together.”
“Since this is an encore, I want to create every moment together with ARMY,” he added. “The fans’ voices complete the performance. If RUN SEOKJIN leaves you with happy memories, that’s all I could wish for. Just make sure to bring enough energy — because RUN SEOKJIN is best enjoyed while jumping!”
BigHit Music added, “We sincerely thank ARMY for their continued support. There will be special stages prepared exclusively for the encore shows, so please look forward to it.”
#RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR_ENCORE marks the culmination of Jin’s solo fan concert series, which first began in Goyang in June and spanned multiple continents. The concept expands on BTS’s fan-favorite variety content Run Seokjin, blending live music with games, interactions, and playful performances.
Jin also made history during the tour — becoming the first Korean solo artist to perform at London’s O2 Arena, while also setting attendance records at major U.S. venues including Anaheim’s Honda Center and Dallas’s American Airlines Center, both of which sold out completely.
