Jin has received favorable reviews for his first solo single ‘The Astronaut’ in 2022, as well as his individual tracks ‘Awake’, ‘Epiphany’, and ‘Moon’ from the team’s album.

Jin also surprised everyone by posting a teaser video on the team‘s official SNS that day that gives a glimpse into the atmosphere of the new album.
