I want to visit some paradise spots, so please suggest some places,' he said.

Don't Say You Love Me teaser: BTS' Jin reunites with Shin Se-Kyung as lost lovers grappling with heartbreak
Amid reports of BTS members — V, Jimin, RM, Jungkook, Suga, Jin, and J-Hope — reuniting in July this year, Jin has made a solo comeback and shared the teaser for his much-anticipated single 'Don't Say You Love Me.' The singer is seen in his 'boyfriend mode', and by the looks of it, the song appears to be about reuniting with a long-lost love. The teaser also features actor Shin Se-Kyung, known for her roles in projects like The Bride of Habaek, Black Knight, Arthdal Chronicles, Captivating the King, Rookie Historian Goo Hae-ryung, Blade Man, and more. The teaser shows Jin walking through a shopping complex casually before stopping and staring at a person in front of him. Shin Se-Kyung, who is standing opposite Jin, also stops and looks back at him, possibly reminded of their lost love. Suddenly, the crowd around them disappears, and the two are seen standing alone on the bridge of the complex, staring at each other as a soft piano tune plays in the background. According to Big Hit Music, 'Don't Say You Love Me' deals with the excruciating pain of two lovers unable to let go of each other at the end of their relationship. Jin's second album Echo all set for release 'Don't Say You Love Me' is the title track of Jin's second solo album Echo, which will release on May 16. He earlier released his first solo album Happy in August 2024. Jin's agency shared the singer's inspiration behind Echo. They released a statement that read, 'Aiming to connect on a deeper level with fans through music, Echo offers Jin's perspective on universal life experiences, capturing everyday emotions with warmth and sincerity… Built on dynamic band sounds, the album showcases his versatile vocals across a spectrum of moods and styles… It reflects a deeper layer of vocal maturity and personal storytelling that underscores Jin's evolving artistry.' Earlier, J-Hope had hinted at BTS' reunion in July this year. Since most members of the boy band have completed their compulsory military training, and the rest are set to conclude it in June, the band members will be ready to come together in July. It is also rumoured that they will go on a world tour. 'We will quickly get together and talk about what BTS can do in the future. I think it's going to be a massive energy,' J-Hope had said.
