A few days ago, a popular Twitter account, ‘songs that changed history,’ recently shared a post about Jin’s song, ‘The Astronaut,’ which included a clip from its music video. The tweet garnered lots of attention not only from fans but also from locals and became viral.
In fact, Jin’s solo songs have always stood out for their unique sound that deviates from typical K-pop music. He has been heavily influenced by Brit pop and Rock throughout his life, reflecting the refreshing and distinctive quality of the artist’s compositions. His latest solo single, ‘The Astronaut,’ was produced by the legendary producer’s Max Martin and Kygo. However, Jin actively participated in writing all of the lyrics and composing the melody of his solo song. The singer conveyed the most profound emotions and thoughts through this beautiful track.
The tweet went viral among locals, and there are hundreds of quotes saying that they like the way Jin’s song sounds. It was surprising for many due to the prejudice people tend to have when it comes to K-pop and BTS. Some users are also saying that they like Jin’s music the most out of the group. Not a secret that Jin’s each solo track was proclaimed as one of the best songs in BTS’s entire discography by critics and well-known magazines like ‘Insight Korea’ and ‘Rolling Stone.’ The artist always manages to create something never-seen or heard before, music that will not get outdated no matter how much time passes. Even the audience can feel that Jin’s songs have something special in them, as he is the only K-idol to ever receive standing ovations.
The saga of the Astronaut attracting locals and GP attention continues – it is not those who heard him perform in Coldplay concert. It is way beyond that.
They all say the same thing. they don’t even listen to Kpop but this song is different – a cinematic refreshing masterpiece
Jin’s storytelling skills and the comforting sci-fi vibes of his mini-movie for ‘The Astronaut’ resonated with many people. He has also used the space-themed concept in his other solo track, ‘Moon.’ In it, the artist compared himself to the Moon, which follows his Earth (fans) throughout their lives while they see only the bright, beautiful side of it.
Non fans will love his other songs too when he performs them on tours. in my opinion, all the songs he made on his own are not kpop- they are another level.

‘The Astronaut’ has been making its way into the locals’ hearts since day one. Just a few hours after the release, the entire stadium of 70k people has been singing the song together with Jin, word for word. Even those who came there solely for Coldplay got impressed by Jin’s live vocals and the sincerity of his song.
Seokjin got the whole stadium with 70k audience singing his song that’s just got released not even 24hrs before 🔥 his impact 🫶🏼👏
It’s impossible to predict what Jin will come up with for his full-scale global debut, but it’s definitely going to be something exceptionally creative and new, as usual.
