Jin also ranked second on Billboard's Artist 100 chart. Happy recorded over 900,000 copies in initial sales, marking a career-high for the artist.
Jin has also explored variety shows, showcasing his entertainment skills. He has appeared as a guest on I'm Glad You Got a Good Rest, K-Star Next Door, and Handsome Guys. He recently confirmed a regular role on the 2025 Netflix original variety show Daehwanjang Gianjang.
When the Stars Gossip: Lee Min-ho and Gong Hyo-jin lead a sci-fi romance amid survival and secrets
When the Stars Gossip follows Gong Ryong (Lee Min-ho), an OB-GYN visiting a space station as a tourist. While his trip seems routine, he hides a secret mission and is connected to Korea's top conglomerate, MZ Group, as their future son-in-law.
Eve Kim (Gong Hyo-jin), the station's perfectionist commander, enforces strict rules to ensure safety. Their contrasting personalities spark an unexpected romance amid the vastness of space.
As a meteorite crisis threatens Earth, the station becomes a refuge and a battleground, blending survival and love in a high-stakes setting.
Boasting a stellar support cast, the drama also features Oh Jeon-se, Han Ji-eun, and Kim Joo-hun. With the creative-producing of So Jae-hyun (Secret Forest), director Park Shin-woo (It’s Okay to Not Be Okay), and writer Seo Sook-hyang (Don’t Dare to Dream), it promises a gripping narrative.
When the Stars Gossip will debut on tvN on January 4, 2025, with episodes airing weekly on Saturdays and Sundays at 9:20 pm KST. The series will also stream on Netflix in select regions. Fans are eagerly anticipating both the drama and Jin's new OST.
