#TheAstronaut music video by #Jin surpasses his own record and becomes the longest charting K-pop video at #1 on YouTube's music category

Last year, Jin released two solo tracks - 'Yours' and 'Super Tuna.' Both broke many records on all streaming platforms. A year later, he debuted with a solo single, 'The Astronaut,' which became one of the most successful debuts in K-pop history. He broke all records set by those who debuted before him on all platforms. For example, Jin had the biggest Spotify debut and the highest placement on the Billboard Hot100 for a K-pop solo debut. He scored the largest number of digital sales in K-pop soloists' history and the 5th largest globally this year.

It's worth mentioning that 'The Astronaut' is a 5-minute-long song which is very inconvenient for songs as commercial products. However, that didn't stop it from becoming a huge success. The music video for Jin's single was co-directed by the artist himself, who was controlling every scene and detail. He participated in every creative meeting, explaining his vision and discussing it with the team of professionals. In the end, we got a cinematic story told by the actor and singer Jin, who played the role of 'the astronaut' in it. The music video already has 41M views on Youtube. 

On November 13, Jin set another record on Youtube - 'The Astronaut' became the longest #1 charting K-pop video on Youtube in the music category. It has been #1 for 17 days straight, surpassing the previous record set by 'Super Tuna' also by Jin (16 days). Last year, he surpassed PSY's record on the said chart.

The music video is so detailed and touching; you can't get tired of watching it!
