On the November 21 (local time) broadcast, Jin gave his first-ever TV performance of the title track “Running Wild,” captivating viewers worldwide.

During the show, Jin shared in-depth insights about his new album through a lively conversation with host Jimmy Fallon.

He explained, “This album reflects a lot of my own ideas, making it feel even more personal to me.”

Regarding the album title, Happy, Jin shared, “Happiness is a core value to me, and I wanted to express that through my music.”

Music critics have hailed Jin’s solo album as “a definitive showcase of his musical identity.”

In particular, they praised “Running Wild” as “a song that perfectly harmonizes Jin’s vocal talent and performance skills.”

The highlight of the broadcast was undoubtedly the “Running Wild” performance.

Set against a custom-designed stage featuring roads and signposts, the performance enhanced the song’s free-spirited vibe.

The audience greeted Jin’s entrance with thunderous applause and cheers, which continued long after the stage concluded.

The symbolic set design, incorporating roads and signposts, visually conveyed the song’s message of freedom.

Despite it being his U.S. broadcast debut, Jin delivered a flawless and confident performance.

Jin is also set to hold a special fan event, Merry Run Around, on November 24 at Lotte World Adventure in Seoul’s Songpa District.

This unique fan meeting, featuring carousel rides, is drawing attention as a creative departure from traditional fan signings.

A representative from his agency stated, “Jin personally suggested the idea of creating special memories with fans.

The carousel concept is designed to give fans an unforgettable experience.”

An entertainment industry expert remarked, “The individual activities of BTS members are expanding in diverse directions.

Jin’s appearance on American television demonstrates K-pop artists’ growing global influence.”

Jin’s appearance on The Tonight Show is being recognized as evidence of the significant attention BTS members' solo activities are receiving from mainstream U.S. media.

Local outlets have also extensively covered Jin’s appearance, highlighting K-pop’s continued impact.

Fans eagerly awaiting the event have expressed their excitement on social media, sharing comments like, “I can’t wait for this special moment with Jin” and “The carousel idea is so uniquely Jin.”

The Merry Run Around event will be held exclusively for fans selected through a lottery.

The winners will get to ride the carousel with Jin and share a memorable time together. The event will also be streamed live globally, allowing fans worldwide to join in the experience.

Industry insiders predict that “Jin’s American TV debut and the unique fan event will solidify his position as a solo artist.

We expect him to continue connecting with global fans through diverse activities in the future.”
