On September 13, 2024, BIGHIT MUSIC published an article titled "Run Jin," featuring your friendly neighborhood superstar, on Weverse. The article highlighted the latest variety show RUN JIN, where the South Korean musician was challenged by his crew to ascent the 1,947-meter Hallasan Mountain or face off high school students in a 1-on-26 contest.
Meanwhile, eagle-eyed BTS fans noted that the word "superstar" was mentioned multiple times throughout the article. Several fans speculated this could hint at the BTS star's upcoming debut solo album. They conjectured that "superstar" could either be the name of the album or an album track.
One fan wrote on X:
"Not only that they used the word several times throughout whole article they're definitely hinting something"

The idol's admirers gathered on X to discuss the possible significance behind the term "superstar" or its subliminal message. This further fuelled speculation that went viral online. Some fans speculated that the singer might announce the release date of his album in the upcoming RUN JIN episode.
"Jin always calls himself superstar....its kind of a ice breaker for him whenever he meets other tv hosts or celebrities so they might have just gone along with that idea.....or it really might have something to do with KSJ1 whatever it is we are all ready and waiting," one fan wrote.
"It’s definitely something, they’ve used it way too many times for it to be just random word," another fan said.
"They showed Run Jin promos until only tennis episode in the ep 1. That means after the tennis ep week they gonna announce the album," another fan speculated.
Others were convinced that it could be the album's name. They remarked that the idol frequently refers to himself as a "global superstar."
"Yes it’s going to be called worldwide handsome superstar in order to match the artistic expectations of the majority of his stans," one fan added.
"Ngl I've had the same thoughts before. What if it's the title of his album? Even in Run Jin you can see how many times it is used," another fan stated.
"If WWH is not one of the songs' titles, I'm not gonna accept ksj1 as seokjin's album," one other fan joked.
