The debut of Jin's highly anticipated album saw strong first-day sales, with his latest release 'Echo' selling around 720,000 copies on May 16, as per data from the Hanteo chart. This achievement marks 'Echo' as Jin's second-best-selling album on its first day, following his debut solo album 'Happy' which recorded approximately 850,000 sales. Notably, 'Echo' now stands as the second-highest selling K-Pop album of 2025 so far and ranks tenth among all solo K-Pop male artists in terms of first-day sales on Hanteo.

Jin's success extends as he becomes the first Korean solo artist to have three albums—'The Astronaut,' 'Happy,' and 'Echo'—each surpassing 700,000 copies in first-day sales on the Hanteo platform.

The album 'Echo' is Jin's second solo mini-album, featuring tracks such as "Don't Say You Love Me," "Nothing Without Your Love," "Loser (feat. Yena)," "Rope It," "With the Clouds," "Background," and "To Me, Today."

In other developments, based on recent statements from executives at HYBE, it appears that BTS may not be resuming group activities in 2025.
