Besides his musical endeavors, Jin has been actively involved in various projects. He served as a torchbearer at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics, hosted a successful solo fan meeting, and received several endorsement deals from major brands.

Jin has also maintained his reputation as a versatile entertainer, making appearances in BTS’s web series "Run Jin" and starring in the Netflix original show "Village of Madness," which topped Netflix Korea’s Top 10 series chart recently, outperforming "When Life Gives You Tangerines."

In "Village of Madness," a unique guesthouse-style variety program, Jin showcases his charisma and versatility in a warm camaraderie with Kian84 and Ji Ye Eun, earning acclaim from viewers for his standout performances on the show.

As anticipation builds for his upcoming album, fans are eagerly looking forward to Jin's next musical chapter.
