Before the performance, Jin joined Fallon for a light-hearted interview segment that included a comedic role reversal, with Jin briefly acting as the show's emcee. When asked about his next chapter as a solo artist, Jin shared details about his upcoming Hi-Seokjin fan tour. 'You might be expecting my vocal skills, but I hope you're most excited to see my face up close,' he joked with a smile. The Hi-Seokjin event series kicks off this Friday in New York City, where Jin will meet with 1,000 fans for an exclusive concert and fan interaction. He'll then return to South Korea to play two sold-out shows in Goyang on May 28 and 29, with additional Asian dates expected to follow. Echo has already topped the iTunes charts in over 60 countries and received early critical praise for its blend of tender ballads and experimental production. 'Don't Say You Love Me' serves as the centerpiece of the project, showcasing Jin's evolution as a solo vocalist and storyteller. Jin previously appeared on The Tonight Show in November 2024 to perform 'Running Wild,' a track from his debut solo EP. His return signals a strong re-entry into the global spotlight as he prepares to embark on his first official fan tour, while BTS continue to pursue solo activities during their staggered enlistment period.
