BTS member Jin brought excitement to fans and HYBE through his special fan event, “Jin ‘Happy’ Special Stage,” held on November 16 and 17 at Jangchung Arena in Seoul. The event featured live band performances of his album tracks and delivered a positive boost amid HYBE’s recent challenges.

Highlights of Jin’s Showcase

Jin performed his entire album, captivating the audience with tracks like:

• ‘Running Wild’
• ‘Till I Reach You’
• ‘Another Level’
• ‘I’ll Be There’
• ‘In Yearning’

A memorable moment was a duet with Red Velvet’s Wendy, performing ‘Heart on the Window,’ which added emotional depth to the show. During the event, Jin shared his inspiration:

“I wanted to make ARMY happy with this album. I believe greater happiness comes when we share it together. I’m determined to keep running toward that goal.”

A Silver Lining Amid HYBE’s Challenges

HYBE has faced a turbulent time due to the ongoing dispute involving NewJeans and former ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin. NewJeans accused HYBE of workplace harassment following Min’s removal and demanded her reinstatement. Their legal demands included:

• A public apology
• An investigation into leaked internal documents
• A resolution within 14 days, threatening contract termination

This controversy, coupled with a 1.61% drop in HYBE’s stock price, cast a shadow over the agency. However, Jin’s successful return brought a much-needed morale boost.

BTS Members’ Solo Achievements

Jin’s single ‘Running Wild’ topped iTunes charts in 70 countries, and ‘I’ll Be There’ set new records on the UK Official Chart for solo performances. Additional updates for ARMY include:

• RM’s documentary, “RM: Light People, Long Place,” releasing on December 5
• V’s duet, ‘White Christmas,’ with Bing Crosby on December 6
• J-Hope’s solo comeback following his military discharge on October 17

Jin Hints at Full BTS Group Comeback

During the showcase, Jin hinted at BTS’s full group comeback, saying:

“We’ve experienced immense happiness in life, and just when we thought it was the peak, more happiness awaited us beyond it. If you wait, I believe another wave of happiness will come to you.”

According to insiders, all BTS members, including Jin, are expected to begin preparations for a full group comeback after completing military service by June 2025. HYBE CFO Lee Kyung Joon confirmed ongoing discussions, though no plans have been finalized yet.

Anticipation for BTS’s Global Return

A BTS comeback would likely include a world tour in 2026, significant album and streaming revenues, and boosted merchandise sales, offering HYBE the opportunity to regain stability amid its current challenges.
