The world is once again captivated by the unmatched charm of BTS Jin, as his solo concert Blu-ray, ‘#RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR in JAPAN,’ has majestically claimed the top spot on Japan’s coveted **Oricon charts**! 🎬
A Dazzling Victory on the Oricon Charts 🏆
On February 5th, the ‘Oricon Weekly Video Chart’ unveiled BTS Jin’s solo concert Blu-ray, ‘#RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR in JAPAN,’ reigning supreme at number one! Japan’s Oricon itself shone a spotlight on this monumental achievement with an article titled ‘BTS Jin‘s First Solo Concert Tops Music DVD/BD Ranking [Oricon Ranking]’ on its official website.
What makes this feat even more breathtaking is that the Blu-ray soared to the top despite its simultaneously released digital code version being completely sold out across all platforms and thus excluded from chart calculations. Oricon further highlighted that even though this release was solely a Blu-ray disc, it still ascended to the pinnacle of the ‘Oricon Weekly Music DVD·BD’ ranking, which combines sales of both music DVDs and Blu-ray discs. Unsurprisingly, Jin‘s Blu-ray also secured the #1 spot on the ‘Oricon Weekly BD (Blu-ray Disc) Ranking,’ truly showcasing his undeniable popularity. 🥺
The Unforgettable Narrative of a Live King 👑
The ‘#RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR in JAPAN’ Blu-ray captures the magical Osaka Kyocera Dome concert, a spectacle where Jin set an incredibly rare record in Japan: opening and completely selling out every single seat, including the 8th-floor peaks and restricted-view sections of the massive dome. The breathtaking sight of the audience creating a magnificent wave, perfectly synchronized with Jin’s flawless stage presence as a true ‘Live King,’ became a sensation, creating an emotional memory for all who witnessed it. 💘
From June 28th to August 10th last year, Jin embarked on his first solo fan concert and world tour, ‘#RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR,’ delivering 18 unforgettable performances across 9 cities.
A Trailblazer of Global Acclaim and Records ✨
Jin’s artistic journey broke new ground, smashing previous records for Asian soloists on ‘Pollstar’s Global Concert Tour Top 20,’ which ranks artists based on average box office earnings per city. He also penned new history by achieving the highest-ever record for an Asian soloist on the ‘Billboard Top Tour Monthly Chart’ last July. By August, Jin had once again entered the Billboard Top Tour Monthly Chart, setting a new Billboard Top Tour record as the highest-grossing Korean solo artist for his European tour dates. 📈
His tour and his artistry garnered immense praise from prestigious global outlets, including a perfect five-star rating from the UK’s Rolling Stone, as well as features in US Forbes and France’s Paris Match. The outpouring of fan devotion, with many heartbroken over missed ticketing opportunities, led to an overwhelming demand for more. In response, Jin gifted fans with two dreamlike encore performances, ‘#RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR_ENCORE,’ at Incheon Munhak Stadium’s main arena on October 31st and November 1st, delivering pure magic and profound emotion. 🥺
Jin‘s world tour Blu-ray, ‘#RUNSEOKJIN_epTOUR in Japan,’ immediately after its release, seized the #1 spot on both Amazon Japan and Rakuten DVD/Blu-ray Bestseller lists and topped the Universal Music Japan Store’s hit products, firmly cementing his overwhelming popularity. Furthermore, Jin, with his track ‘Echo,’ was the only K-pop solo artist to appear on Oricon’s 2025 Year-End Album Chart, a testament to his enduring impact. 🎶
The ‘#RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR in GOYANG’ Blu-ray, featuring his captivating performance in Goyang, Korea, similarly sold out in just 7 minutes on the US Weverse Shop, proving that Jin‘s unique, beautiful crystal voice and fantastic stages resonate passionately with fans across the globe. 💘🎭
This isn’t just about numbers; it’s about the deep, resonant connection Jin creates with every performance, building a narrative that transcends language and borders. His ability to touch hearts and inspire such devotion is truly a beautiful testament to his artistry. 💖
