Fans recently spotted BTS’ Jin shopping for gifts in the afternoon. A fan recognized him at a mall. Later that evening, Jin was reportedly seen having dinner with his BIGHIT MUSIC labelmates TXT to celebrate the birthday of maknae Huening Kai, who turned 22 on August 14.
Additionally, a restaurant owner shared a video of the group allegedly leaving the restaurant after eating bulgogi. Fans of BTS and TXT are pleased to see Jin taking such good care of his juniors. Previously, Jungkook also celebrated Yeonjun’s birthday, continuing the tradition of supporting his labelmates.
On January 15, 2019, Huening Kai was introduced as the third member of TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT) with the release of his teaser video on YouTube. The group officially debuted on March 4, 2019 with their first mini album The Dream Chapter: STAR. Huening Kai participated in writing and composing the song Roller Coaster from TXT’s first studio album The Dream Chapter: MAGIC. This achievement made him the youngest K-pop idol to be registered with the Korean Music Copyright Association (KOMCA).
TXT, also known as TOMORROW X TOGETHER, consists of five members: Yeonjun, Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Huening Kai. Their early commercial success earned them numerous accolades, including Rookie of the Year at the 34th Golden Disc Awards and the 2019 Melon Music Awards, New Artist of the Year at the 9th Gaon Chart Music Awards, and Best New Male Artist at the 2019 Mnet Asian Music Awards.
TXT stands for TOMORROW X TOGETHER. In Korean, the group’s name is 투모로우바이투게더 (pronounced Tomorrow by Together and transliterated into Hangul), and they use the same name in both Korean and English. According to their website, their name symbolizes five individuals coming together under a common dream to build a better future.
Jin, on the other hand, debuted as a K-pop idol with BTS in 2013, alongside RM, J-Hope, SUGA, V, Jungkook, and Jimin. He released his official solo debut single, “The Astronaut,” in 2022. The song reflects Jin’s deep affection for and relationship with his fans. It deals with themes such as connection and love and features a recurring cosmic motif that is a signature element in both his solo work and BTS’ music.
After being discharged from military service on June 13, 2024, Jin made his first public appearance at BTS’ 11th anniversary FESTA 2024 event at Jamsil Arena. He will also appear on MBC’s Lost Island open-air variety show The Half-Star Hotel, marking his first television appearance after his discharge.
Additionally, Jin is featured in the Run BTS spin-off show RUN JIN in collaboration with BIGHIT Music. The show, which features Jin doing various outdoor activities, had its first episode on August 13, 2024.
