South Korean singer Kim Seok-jin aka Jin of K-pop band BTS fame is bringing the finale of his solo tour to the big screen in Bahrain this Sunday, August 10.
RunSeokjin Ep Tour (stylised as #RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR) is the artist’s first independent gig in support of his debut album Happy (2024) and Echo (2025).
The tour, which began on June 28, is set to conclude on Sunday at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam, Netherlands, with an exclusive live screening at VOX cinemas in Bahrain, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar and Lebanon.
Formed in 2010, BTS aka Bangtan Boys consists of Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook alongside Jin.
Three years ago, the band took a break to complete their mandatory South Korean military service and pursue solo careers.
During this time, Jin officially debuted as a solo artist with the single The Astronaut, though he had released singles prior to the band’s hiatus.
The recipient of a series of recognitions, including the Recording Industry Association of Japan’s (RIAJ) platinum certification for Happy in 2024, Jin is set to make more music with the band.
In a live stream last month, the ensemble announced that they have started writing new material together, with new music set to be released next year.
