Jin’s second mini-album, Echo, shines a light on life’s many moments. From love that blazes fiercely only to fade away, to friendships as tender as a fairytale, and bold choices made at life’s crossroads. Jin’s sincere voice conveys heartfelt emotions that deeply resonate with listeners. This playlist features seven tracks across diverse genres including pop, punk, and country that showcase authentic lyrics in which Jin took part in writing, along with carefully selected songs that echo Jin’s own emotions.

“Don’t Say You Love Me” (Jin)
Jin: This is the title track of Echo, a song that many people have been showing a lot of love for. It’s a heartbreaking love song that captures the emotions of two people who can’t let go, even though their relationship has effectively ended. It conveys that bittersweet feeling of loving someone but being unable to say it out loud—a sentiment many of us have likely experienced at some point.

“Nothing Without Your Love” (Jin)
Jin: This is my absolute favorite! The lyrics say, “You are my everything, the reason I exist. Without your love, I’m nothing.” And for me, that “you” is our ARMY💜

“Loser” feat. YENA (Jin)
Jin: This is a track featuring YENA. It’s a pop-punk song that captures the lively yet edgy charm of her powerful vocals.

“Rope It” (Jin)
Jin: This is my first try at country rock. Make sure to check out the witty lyrics!

“With the Clouds” (Jin)
Jin: Just like the title suggests, it’s a lyrical, fairytale-like song. The melody and lyrics are just as beautiful as the title. I hope everyone enjoys it.

“Background” (Jin)
Jin: If you want to listen to the more mature side of my vocals complemented by rich, emotional band sound, be sure to give it a listen!

“To Me, Today” (Jin)
Jin: I made this song to serve as a small piece of comfort and reassurance for “today’s me.” The future matters too, but I hope everyone truly cherishes and enjoys today.

“NEMONEMO” (YENA)
Jin: There are so many great songs by YENA, but this one is definitely a standout. I hope it helps you start your day with energy!

“Something Just Like This” (The Chainsmokers, Coldplay)
Jin: Recently, I performed with Chris Martin at Coldplay’s concert in Korea! I recommend this song, which we had a blast performing—complete with the alien mask and all!
