Jin of BTS officially made his solo debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon with a performance of “Running Wild,” the focus track from his freshly released album, Happy. The vocalist also sat down for a chat about his busy 2024, and even made time to generously teach Jimmy how to deliver one of his dance challenges. Watch both segments below.
Jin opted for a fringe green jacket for the live staging of the rock-inspired track, and later ponted to Coldplay and Chris Martin as a personal inspiration when it was time to join Jimmy for the interview. The chat also dug into Jin’s bandmates welcoming him back to civilian life during the completion of his military service this summer, where BTS leader RM marked the occasion with a spontaneous saxophone performance.
“At that time, it was very hectic, because it was immediately after my discharge,” Jin explained, looking at the photo of the reunion. “I wasn’t exactly sure what RM was doing, but he was playing something for me.”
“You don’t know what he was doing?” Jimmy pressed.
“I didn’t even know he was there,” Jin joked.
Later, Jin and Jimmy reminisced on the origins of the nickname “Worldwide Handsome,” as well as Jin’s love of fishing. As his addictive song “Super Tuna” became the focus, the two spent a moment taking a stab at the choreography together.
Tune into the latest episode of Stanning BTS on the Consequence Podcast Network for further insight into Jin’s recent activities. On December 6th, Jin’s bandmate V will also share a reimagined version of “White Christmas” with Bing Crosby himself.
