Jin Hit News in English

  Western music often places the song itself at the center, with performance treated as a "bonus," whereas K-pop is designed as an all-encompassing entertainment package. Rather than prioritizing a single element, K-pop emphasizes the harmonious combination of multiple components—melody, choreography, visuals, vocals, concepts, and more. However, at the core of pop music, the primary focus still lies in the sound. Therefore, for K-pop idols, vocal ability remains one of the most important standard.  This is no exception for global superstar BTS—more specifically, the group's vocal line consisting of Jimin, V, Jin, and Jungkook. Most fans know not all four members had a background in singing from an early age. While Jimin had an advantage in contemporary dance, and Jin originally pursued acting. As a result, the BTS members—especially the vocal line—have worked tirelessly on their vocal training for many years, from their trainee days to long after their debut. Even at the...

  In January this year, Chinese President Xi Jinping and South Korean President Lee Jae-myung met in Beijing during Lee's state visit to China. At the Great Hall of the People, the two leaders held discussions on a wide range of the key bilateral issues, including security, the economy, cultural exchanges, and regional peace. Notably, the two sides also discussed expanding cultural exchanges and entertainment content, including measures to increase the presence of Korean culture in China after years of restrictions.

The discussions immediately sparked hope among fans that BTS' world tour might eventually include Beijing as one of its stops. However, the reality is that despite the recent thaw in relations between Seoul and Beijing, the prospects of lifting the so-cal...

  Throughout more than a decade of their career, BTS have release hundreds of songs spanning a wide range of genres, from hip-hop, R&B, and pop to ballads, rock, and EDM. Beyond being known for their top-tier performances, the group is also one of the few K-pop acts deeply involved in songwriting, production, and shaping the concepts of every album they release. In other words, every song they have released is undoubtedly a work they are deeply passionate about and that carries special meaning. That is why choosing just one track to represent themselves is certainly not an easy task. However, in an interview with Esquire magazine, when asked to choose the BTS song that best reflects who they are throughout their musical careers,ball seven members eventually made their choices and explained the reasons behind them. Starting with the leader RM, he chose "Life Goes On." Although he did not want to reveal too much about the song during the interview, he explained that it repr...

  There is an unchanging reality in the lifecycle of K-pop idols: the golden era of their careers in often remarkably short. This is why many idols debut at a very young age—around 14 or 15 years old, or even younger —and work relentlessly after debut in order to maintain their popularity before they are considered "too old" by the industry. Fierce competition, rapidly changing trends, and the short lifespan of music releases also make it difficult for many groups to remain at the top for an extended period of time. BTS is one of the very few exceptions of this rule. Not only have they remained together with their original lineup intact, but they have also maintained their heights and expanding their global influence. Even while celebrating their 13th debut anniversary. BTS jokingly compared themselves to having "just graduated elementary school," implying that their journey has only just begun and that they still have many more years ahead as a group. For that reas...

  Reports claiming that BTS member Suga was an early investor in SpaceX—the aerospace and artificial intelligence (AI) company led by Elon Musk —before it went public have attracted widespread attention. According to investment banking (IB) sources and Edaily on the 29th, Suga is believed to have invested in SpaceX's unlisted shares through Link Asset Partners, the first South Korean fund management firm to invest in the company. An IB industry source told the media, "Although the exact scale of the investment has not been confirmed, it is understood that he still holds SpaceX shares and has achieved significant returns." According to additional reports, the BTS superstar is believed to have made the investment before 2022. Based on this timeline, industry experts estimate that the value of his investment may have increased by at least 20 times. Furthermore, if Suga invested around 2020 —when SpaceX's valuation was still relatively low —his return on investment (ROI) ...
