[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] Jin of the group BTS, who is about to enlist in the military, will release a solo single on the 28th.

Big Hit Music announced the release schedule of Jin's first solo single, "The Astronaut," on the global fandom life platform Weverse on the 19th. "The Astronaut" is expected to be a gift-like song for ARMY (BTS fandom name), as it was created with Jin's affection for ARMY.

On the same day, BTS's official social media channels released the logo trailer and promotion map for "The Astronaut." The logo trailer begins with an astronaut floating in the quiet space outside a spaceship, where meteors occasionally drift by. The scene then shifts, and the astronaut, wandering through a chaotic area where asteroid-like rocks fly at high speed, discovers a mysterious light in the darkness.

Jin will sequentially release the poster for "The Astronaut" on the 20th, concept photos from the 24th to the 26th, and a music video teaser on the 27th.

Earlier, Jin hinted at his solo activities at the "BTS Yet To Come in Busan" concert held on the 15th at the Busan Asiad Main Stadium in Yeonje-gu, Busan, which was organized to support the bid for the 2030 Busan World Expo. He said, "I have connected with someone I really like," suggesting that this solo single is a collaborative album.

Jin is the second BTS member to pursue solo activities after J-Hope. Along with the release of his solo single, Jin plans to present various events. As previously announced through his agency, he is expected to apply for cancellation of his enlistment postponement at the end of this month and begin full preparations for his military enlistment.
