'SUPER TUNA'

'Super Tuna' needs no introduction. Taking the world by storm last December (having inspired an array of dance and TikTok challenges), the fun and free-spirited single was Jin's gift to the BTS ARMY in honour of his birthday last year. Serving as an ode to his hobby of fishing, Jin co-wrote and co-produced 'Super Tuna' alongside famed producer BUMZU.


'YOURS'

'Yours' serves as Jin's first-ever solo OST, lending his voice to the Korean drama-thriller Jirisan's main theme song. Since its release in last November, the track has topped iTunes music charts across over 80 countries. 


'ABYSS'

If there's anything you need to know about Jin, it's that his gifts to ARMY for his birthday are as heartfelt as they get. For his 28th birthday, the singer dropped 'Abyss', a BUMZU-produced sincere ballad about conquering your inner shadows. 


'MOON' 

Jin's solo songs have always relayed a strong message, whether that's of healing or accepting the unknown. 'Moon' is no different. Serving as the singer's solo track off of BTS' Map Of The Soul: 7, 'Moon' is an ode to ARMY as Jin reminds his fans that they are the reason he keeps going. 


'TONIGHT'

'Tonight' was initially unofficially released on SoundCloud as part of BTS' anniversary celebration in 2019. Co-written by RM and Jin himself, the sentimental track is the singer's first solo song outside of a BTS album and also the first song he's ever composed on his own.

'Tonight', which Jin dedicated to his beloved pets, deals with the heartache and pain of losing someone close to you. 


'Epiphany' 

As part of BTS' 2018 Love Yourself: Answer album, Jin performs the ever-heartwarming 'Epiphany'. Serving as a self-love anthem for those lost and hurt, the track is all about facing the unknown and coming to accept who you are. 


'IN FRONT OF THE POST OFFICE IN AUTUMN' COVER

Jin's cover of Yoon Dohyun's 'In Front Of The Post Office In Autumn' was released in celebration of BTS' 2018 FESTA, serving as the interlude ceremony of the group's anniversary celebrations. 


'IT'S DEFINITELY YOU'

Performed alongside V, 'It's Definitely You' is Jin's first-ever OST for the romance drama Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth (which actually starred V himself). The track served as the second track of the K-drama's soundtrack, reflecting the characters' youthful charm and energy.


'SO FAR AWAY'

Performed by Jin, Jungkook, and SUGA, 'So Far Away' comes as a remixed version of AGUST D's song of the same name that features SURAN. Featuring SUGA's sharp rap verses and Jin and Jungkook's dreamy vocals, the track was released as a gift to ARMY during BTS' 2017 FESTA. 


'AWAKE (CHRISTMAS VERSION)'

The holiday season is never complete without some cheery tunes and in 2016, Jin gifted his fans with the Christmas version of his heartfelt track 'Awake' which was released as part of BTS' Wings album. 


'AWAKE' 

'Awake' is Jin's solo track off of BTS' Wings album, which took listeners on a journey of self-discovery. The song falls right in the middle of the journey, reflecting feelings of fear and doubt against his soulful and ethereal vocals. 


'I LOVE YOU' COVER

Jin's gift of songs on his birthday date all the way back to the beginning years of BTS. In celebration of his 23rd birthday, the singer released a cover of Mate's 'I Love You'. Highlighting Jin's beautiful vocals, 'I Love You' was a track, that he shared, helped him through a lot during his trainee days, and now wanted to dedicate to ARMY. 


'MOM' COVER

Sincere and heartwarming, Jin's cover of Ra.D's 'Mom' was released in 2015 on SoundCloud in honour of Parent's Day. Serving as his first-ever cover, he dedicated the track to his parents, thanking them for supporting him as he chased his dream. 


BONUS: 'The Astronaut' 

Co-written by Coldplay, 'The Astronaut' serves as Jin's first official solo single. With dreamy soundscapes created by Coldplay, and lyrics written by Jin, the song is about discovering himself with the help of his band of brothers, BTS, and finding home and comfort in ARMY.
