YENA Joins BTS Jin's Solo Fan Concert 2025: First-Ever Guest Appearance Details
Former IZ*ONE member YENA will make a special guest appearance at BTS Jin's inaugural solo fan concert in Korea this weekend, marking their first live collaboration since their hit duet "Loser."
YENA will participate as a guest on June 28 at the Goyang Auxiliary Stadium for Jin's fan concert '#RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR in GOYANG'. The collaboration comes naturally after their successful musical partnership on "Loser," which was released on May 16 as part of Jin's second solo album "Echo".
This marks YENA's first-ever featuring role on another artist's track, making the live performance even more significant for both artists and their fans.
"Loser" depicts a couple's relationship, sometimes sweet and loving, sometimes bickering out of habit. YENA brought fresh chemistry with her distinctive bouncy charm, working in perfect harmony with Jin.
Their collaboration gained additional attention when a live clip was released on May 18 through YouTube channel 'Dingo Music', showcasing their natural on-screen chemistry.
Jin's "#RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR" represents several historic firsts. The Korean shows on June 28 and 29 at Goyang Auxiliary Stadium sold out immediately during fan club presales on April 28 and general sales on April 29.
The tour spans nine cities with 18 total performances, starting in Korea before heading to Japan, the United States, United Kingdom, and Netherlands through August. Jin will become the first K-pop solo artist to perform at London's O2 Arena.
YENA is expected to deliver an entertaining stage with her characteristic charming vocals and energy that complement the upbeat sound, amplifying the song's mood. Fans can look forward to performances from both Jin's latest album "Echo" and his previous release "Happy".
The concert takes its name from Jin's popular YouTube variety series "Run Seokjin," representing his journey to meet fans around the world.
YENA has established herself as a 'Gen Z representative' through her unique hip and kitsch style, building what fans call the 'YENA genre' with addictive music and performances. She demonstrates versatility by working across music, acting, and variety shows.
This guest appearance continues her busy 2025 schedule, which included solo concerts in Korea and Japan from January to February.
Jin recently ranked 26th on Forbes Korea's 'Power Celebrity 40,' being the only BTS member to make the list this year. The ranking used enhanced methodology including AI-based analysis of online buzz volume.
The YENA-Jin collaboration represents a meeting point between two artists at pivotal career moments: Jin launching his first major solo tour after military service, and YENA establishing herself as a prominent solo artist after her successful group career.
Jin's tour marks his return to large-scale performances following his military service completion, while YENA's guest appearance demonstrates her growing recognition within the K-pop industry's collaborative ecosystem.
