Released at midnight on October 18, the photos and videos showcase Jin enjoying some of his favorite hobbies—camping, tennis, and cooking—capturing moments of happiness in his everyday life.
In one photo, Jin is seen relaxing in front of a camper van, basking in the warm sunlight, while another image features him thoughtfully gazing under a wall adorned with a tennis racket, blending his passions with artistic flair. These visuals emphasize the simplicity and peace that come from enjoying personal hobbies.
The accompanying concept film enhances the nostalgic feel, filmed to resemble an old camcorder, with ambient sounds of daily life adding to the authenticity. In the video, Jin is seen cooking, bouncing a tennis ball, and relaxing alone, culminating in a scene where he peacefully dozes off in a camping chair, reflecting ultimate tranquility.
Jin has expressed that the Journey concept represents the joy of spending time for oneself, which he believes is a vital source of energy in life. The photos and video reflect his thoughts on the importance of personal happiness.
Following Journey, two more concepts—Imagine and Navigate—will be released on October 20 and 22, respectively. Together, the initials spell “JIN,” further drawing attention to the carefully crafted elements of his solo debut.
Happy, Jin’s first solo album, is set for release on November 15 at 2 PM KST. The album will offer a sincere reflection on Jin’s thoughts about happiness and his heartfelt connection with ARMY. The title track “Running Wild” carries a hopeful and uplifting message, encouraging listeners to chase their dreams with all their might. On October 25, Jin will pre-release the song “I’ll Be There,” kicking off the excitement for his solo comeback.
