Professionalmusic critic Doheon Kim has announced his Top 5 of the best BTS songs of all time. And as the 4th best song, he picked Jin's solo song - "Epiphany."
"A part of Jin's charisma is that he helps make other BTS members shine.In the beginning he sings about uncertainty and doubt in himself. But, when you look at the lyrics later, he was also symbolizing overcoming challenges through loving and trusting himself and walking towards bigger success and growth.It symbolically portrayed BTS' journey."
Music critic Kim Do Heon, who worked as a music critic for the prestigious IZE magazine, chose Seokjin's Epiphany as #4 in Top 5 BTS songs list. He also says Jin's vocals in TTU & Don't Leave Me are exceptional & he also loves Abyss.
Besides that, Doheon Kim mentioned Jin's self-written song "Abyss," which was released earlier in December. Doheon also confessed that he really likes Jin's solo music.
"Epiphany" became a symbol of the Love Yourself era: the sunrise of BTS's success. Interesting that Jin was the one who started developing that certain philosophical vision of life. He became the start of it. Jin and his solo song "Epiphany" also made the first steps in bringing huge awareness to the topic of "self-love" in South Korea.
As for the solo songs, Jin definitely stands in his own league. The tandem of otherworldly vocals, unique sound, emotional delivery, the philosophical message makes Jin's solo works very popular among not only fans but also the general public. "Epiphany" gained over 130M streams on Spotify despite being almost the last track in the album. Jin is the 2nd most-streamed BTS member on all Korean platforms.
🐹📈 Epiphany just surpassed 170K likes on Melon and is only the second BTS solo song to do so! 😳🔥 It's also 14th BTS B-Side to reach this milestone! 😌 Congrats Seokjin! 💜
"Epiphany" is also known for being the only BTS solo stage that became a reason for such huge furor every time it was being performed live.
"Jin's vocal skills are noticed after his performance of 'Epiphany' at the SA concert. Epiphany reached #1 in the iTunes 'K-pop' and 'All Genres' charts in Saudi Arabia."
Epiphany a Legendary solo by Jin. He is the main inspiration for love yourself series. It deserves the recognition 👏🏻
