BTS member Jin, months after getting discharged from the military, is all set to release his debut solo album Happy on November 15. The music project will feature six tracks, including its lead single Running Wild. To celebrate the album release, Jin will be hosting a special event titled Merry Run Around on November 24 at the Lotte World Adventure in Seoul. The special event will include 50 fans, who will be able to have an in-person experience with the K-pop idol. A free Lotte World pass will also be given to each guest.
In a statement shared on Weverse, Jin's agency Bighit shared that the venue selection is particularly significant since it aligns with the idea of "happiness," which is the central theme of Jin's album Happy. The singer added that he wants to make "happy memories" with his fans by providing them with a special kind of joy, and he chose the carousel as a location that reflects this idea.
BigHit Music said, “This fan signing event was designed based on Jin's own idea. Since it's been a while since Jin last connected with fans up close, we hope this will be a memorable experience for everyone involved.”
The 50 lucky winners will be chosen randomly out of those who purchase Jin's album Happy (pre-order) on the Soundwave online mall during the entry period. The announcement states that the event's admission period will open on November 11 at 11 AM KST and close on November 18 at 11:59 PM KST. The winners will be revealed on November 19. The agency also included a set of rules to be followed at the event.
In addition to the exclusive meet, Jin will also be hosting a two-day concert event called Happy Special Stage Live. The shows will be held in the Jangchung Arena in Seoul on November 16 and 17, just one day after Happy's release.
