In their official statement, BigHit Music described Happy as Jin’s “heartfelt invitation for fans to join him on his journey to discover happiness.” The album consists of six tracks, each offering a unique sound but staying rooted in a band-driven style.

The pre-orders for Happy will begin on October 15 at 11 AM KST (7:30 AM IST), with the album officially releasing on November 15 at 2 PM KST (10:30 AM IST). In addition to the album release, Jin will engage with fans through various activities. A 20-second teaser for the album, shared on X (formerly Twitter), ended with the message “You are loved,” adding to the excitement. Photos from the album were also unveiled, offering a glimpse into Jin’s solo project.
Jin’s solo release has been highly anticipated, especially after he teased the album during a Weverse live session. He revealed that the recording, mixing, and mastering of the album had been completed weeks ago. Jin playfully mentioned during the session, “Should I play it now? The company would get mad. But the songs are good, so I listen to it from time to time.”
Fans are eagerly awaiting Happy, as it marks Jin’s first solo effort and promises to be an emotional and heartwarming experience for the BTS ARMY.
Jin’s debut at the Milan Fashion Week as Gucci’s global brand ambassador has certainly been a highlight. His appearance garnered significant attention, not just for his fashion choices but also for the excitement he generated among fans.
