Global K-pop sensation Jin of BTS is set to make his first solo appearance on Japanese television tonight with a live performance of his latest single “Don’t Say You Love Me” on the popular music program CDTV Live! Live! The broadcast is scheduled to air at 7:00 PM JST on TBS, marking a major milestone in Jin’s growing solo career.
The performance comes just days after the release of his second solo EP, Echo on May 16, which has already received international acclaim for its emotional depth, poignant lyricism, and melodic sophistication. “Don’t Say You Love Me,” the lead single from the EP, showcases Jin’s heartfelt vocals and artistic maturity, resonating strongly with fans around the world.
A Landmark Solo Performance
Tonight’s appearance on CDTV Live! Live! will be Jin’s debut live television performance in Japan as a soloist. Known for its high production value and strong music lineup, CDTV is one of Japan’s most prestigious platforms for musicians — making Jin’s inclusion especially significant.
Fans across the globe, especially in Japan and South Korea, have taken to social media to express their excitement. Hashtags like #JIN_ON_CDTVLIVE and #CDTVライブライブ are already trending on X (formerly Twitter), as ARMYs prepare to support Jin’s performance in real time.
About Echo and Jin’s Solo Journey
Released under BigHit Music, Echo is a seven-track project that explores themes of longing, growth, and self-reflection. The EP has been praised by critics for its introspective storytelling and vocal delivery, positioning Jin as more than just a member of BTS — but a solo artist in his own right.
In addition to “Don’t Say You Love Me,” other tracks on the EP include “Stardust Bloom,” “Gone By Morning,” and the fan-favorite “Still With You,” which showcases Jin’s ability to blend lyrical vulnerability with melodic grace.
More Promotions Ahead
Following his Japanese television debut, Jin is set to continue his solo promotion schedule with an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on May 21, where he will perform “Don’t Say You Love Me” for U.S. audiences.
These back-to-back performances are part of Jin’s broader reintroduction as a soloist, following his return from military service earlier this year.
