jin just successfully finished day 1 of his solo concert in goyang and as his fan of 6 years it’s a really emotional day for me. here’s my little rant/appreciation post for him as an artist. during this post-enlistment solo run, jin has gone so far beyond everyone’s expectations. he’s released two self-written mini albums, produced his own solo variety show, and today he kicked off his solo world tour. i fell in love with his voice as a baby army and he’s been my bias ever since. his vocals make me feel things no one else can. people love to write him off, but if there’s one thing seokjin has done in his solo era, it’s proving his critics wrong. his concert today was unlike anything i’ve ever seen. not a single dull moment. just him, a live band, and those powerhouse vocals. the stage never felt empty. there wasn’t no loud backtrack, we could only hear it for adlibs. it was so interactive, energetic and emotional. i was watching from my bed and still felt like i was part of something special. i can only imagine what it felt like in person. he really belongs on the stage :,) i love how he’s embraced this rockstar energy. he’s talked openly about coldplay is his favourite artist and i love that you can clearly see the influence of chris martin and the band in his albums and performances. i’m genuinely so proud of the artist he’s become. he’s more confident and grounded now, but still pushing himself to grow. in his first solo song, awake, he sang “maybe i can never fly”. today, while ending his song he sang “now i fly to where my heart beats” (to me, today). it feels like a full circle moment. seokjin’s journey truly has been one of growth, tenacity, and incredible artistry. and i’m just so proud to witness it. submitted by /u/JinnieP [link] [comments]
