BTS’ Jin to release first solo single ahead of military duty 

BTS' Twitter

'The Astronaut' is slated for an October 28 release

SEOUL, South Korea – K-pop singer Jin, a member of the hit boy band BTS, will release his first official solo single next week, the seven-member band’s agency said on Wednesday, October 19, following this week’s announcement that he will soon start military duty.

The song, titled “The Astronaut”, will be released on October 28 at 1 p.m., with pre-orders to begin later on Wednesday.

“Since it’s a song made with so much love toward the fans, we hope ‘The Astronaut’ can be a gift to all of you,” according to the Bighit Music statement posted on global fandom platform WEVERSE.

The announcement came after band’s management group HYBE, which owns HIGHT, on Monday, October 17, said Jin will cancel a request to further delay his enlistment in late October. The other younger band members also plan to serve their compulsory service.

In June, BTS announced a break from group musical activities to pursue solo projects, but reunited on Saturday to perform a free concert in the city of Busan in support of South Korea’s bid to host the World Expo 2030 in the port city. – Rappler.com
