Jin to host carousel fan signing event

BTS member Jin will host a unique carousel fan signing event, offering fans an unprecedented experience.

Jin announced Monday the special fan event, “Merry Run Around,” on the fan platform Weverse. This exclusive fan signing event will welcome a total of 50 fans for an intimate, in-person experience.

Taking place on Nov. 24 at the carousel in Lotte World Adventure, Songpa District, Seoul, the event will be held privately before the park opens. Jin and his fans will ride the carousel together, allowing for personal interactions in a lively setting.

Each attendee will also receive a complimentary Lotte World pass. More details on the event are available on Weverse.

The location choice holds special significance as it matches the concept of “happiness,” the main theme of Jin’s upcoming solo album "Happy," set for release on Nov. 15. Jin expressed his desire to create “happy memories” with fans through a uniquely joyful experience, choosing the carousel as a place that embodies this sentiment.

BigHit Music said, “This fan signing event was designed based on Jin’s own idea. Since it’s been a while since Jin last connected with fans up close, we hope this will be a memorable experience for everyone involved.”

Jin has demonstrated his appreciation for his fans, ARMY, as he prepares for his solo album release. He recently appeared on several fan-recommended variety shows, saying, “It’s my job to make fans happy because I’m always so grateful for everything they do.”

This “ARMY-loving” moment has touched many fans, highlighting his strong connection with them.

Following the release of "Happy," Jin will hold a fan showcase, “Jin ‘Happy’ Special Stage,” on Nov. 16 and Nov. 17 at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul. He plans to debut the album’s title track, “Running Wild,” at the showcase, reflecting his desire to interact with fans up close.

Fans unable to attend in person can still join the experience, as both days of the showcase will be livestreamed online.

"Happy," set for worldwide release on Nov. 15 at 2 p.m. (Seoul Time), captures Jin’s heartfelt desire to bring happiness to fans. The album includes six tracks: the title track “Running Wild,” “I’ll Be There,” “Another Level,” “Falling,” “Heart on the Window” (featuring Wendy) and “I Will Come To You.”
