BTS' Jin is confirmed to be preparing for a solo song
Jin is the cover star for the September 2024 issue of Harper’s Bazaar Korea, in a collaboration with Gucci. The luxury brand recently announced him as their newest global ambassador on August 7.
Harper's Bazaar Korea unveiled new content from the campaign through their Instagram, including a total of four images. One particular image features a collage of nine different shots, showcasing the singer in a grey hoodie with a black choker, accessorized with a chain necklace and black trousers. The magazine described his duality, playful off-camera and deeply professional once the camera rolled.
The most attention-grabbing photos, however, seem to emphasize the rock theme. In one, the BTS member poses with an upside-down triangular guitar, while another features him against a backdrop filled with various speakers, dressed in a sleek black blazer with red leather gloves. The caption for this image reads:
“BTS Jin talks about ‘happiness’ through his solo song making that tells his own story and as a global ambassador for Gucci. This is Rock Jin’s new look.”
This caption has fueled fan excitement as they eagerly anticipate Jin’s foray into the rock genre, a style he has yet to explore as a solo artist. The magazine has advised fans to stay tuned for more content to be released sequentially through this campaign, hinting at further details to come.
