Right after the album 'Echo' dropped, ARMY ！ BTS' loyal fandom ！ waited for Jin's livestream on the fan platform Weverse. And Jin didn't disappoint´but neither did the other members - J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook.
After days of anticipation and promotion, BTS' eldest member Kim Seokjin, also known as Jin, has officially released his solo EP Echo. On May 16 (Friday), the K-pop star unveiled the seven tracks: Don't Say You Love Me, Nothing Without Your Love, Loser featuring YENA, Rope It, With the Clouds, Background, and To Me, Today.
As expected, right after the album dropped, ARMY ！ BTS' loyal fandom ！ waited for Jin's livestream on the fan platform Weverse. And Jin didn't disappoint´ neither did the other members.
Jin goes Live
To promote Echo to ARMY, Jin hosted a live broadcast, following a tradition BTS and each member have maintained over the years. During the stream, Jin spoke about the album, shared his thoughts on the songs, and explained how Echo reflects his "perspective on universal life experiences, capturing everyday emotions with warmth and sincerity."

Live hijacked by BTS members
Interestingly, Jin wasn't alone during the stream. Four members ！ J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook ！ hilariously flooded the comments section. Some praised Jin for his hard work, while others simply chatted amongst themselves, creating pure chaos in the best way possible.
V (Kim Taehyung) had trouble joining the live, and by the time he returned, it was nearly over. Jungkook updated fans that V had tried calling him, but he didn't answer ！ which led to V sending him some "choice words," making ARMY laugh.

? Oh I'm getting a call from Taehyungie hyung
? Not gonna pick it up~~~
? He's currently cussing me out
? I'm getting scolded
? He's calling and scolding
Jimin revealed that he and Jungkook were sitting next to each other watching the live unfold. J-Hope, who is currently in Macau for his Hope on the Stage tour, chimed in frequently with laughter, while the other members reminded him not to get injured.
Even after Jin ended his live stream, the broadcast continued, and the members kept chatting, much to fans' delight. Eventually, Jin had to return to the chat to playfully tell them all to leave.
