BTS member Jin is making waves worldwide with his stunning vocals and warm charm.

On December 7, Japan’s NHK aired a special episode of Venue101 titled Venue101 Presents JIN SPECIAL.

This was no ordinary episode—it was entirely dedicated to Jin, a rare honor that reflects his massive popularity in Japan.

The special featured live performances of tracks from Jin’s first solo album, Happy, released on November 15.

Jin sang I’ll Be There, Running Wild, and his hit single The Astronaut, mesmerizing the audience with his crystal-clear vocals.

His ability to effortlessly hit powerful high notes and deliver warm, emotive lower tones showcased why he’s often called the “live king.” Fans couldn’t get enough, flooding social media with praise.

During the broadcast, Jin also had a fun conversation with MC Saito, showing off his playful side. Known for his “visual god” looks and lovable personality, Jin charmed viewers with his sense of humor and captivating presence.

This trip to Japan was Jin’s first since BTS’s fan meeting BTS 5TH MUSTER [MAGIC SHOP] IN JAPAN in 2019. Japanese fans greeted him with excitement, and their cheers proved how much they had missed him.

Even the Japanese band that played with Jin couldn’t hide their admiration. One member wrote on Instagram, “It was the best day performing with BTS’s Jin!” Another shared, “Creating this moment with Jin and ARMY was unforgettable!”

The same day, Jin appeared on NTV’s We Were Together From Then On, reuniting with Arashi’s Aiba Masaki.

The two idols have a close bond, which was on full display as Jin prepared a homemade Korean meal of bulgogi and soybean paste stew for Aiba.

Their heartwarming interaction melted fans’ hearts, providing a feel-good moment that resonated with viewers.

Jin’s solo debut with Happy has been nothing short of a phenomenon. The album sold an incredible 219,241 copies in its first week in Japan, ranking as the third-highest first-week sales for a K-pop soloist in Oricon history.

The title track, Running Wild, broke records on Spotify Japan, becoming the most-streamed K-pop solo song in a single day with over 520,000 streams.

With his flawless performances, engaging personality, and record-breaking success, Jin continues to prove why he’s a global superstar. Fans around the world are eagerly looking forward to what he’ll do next!

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
