#Jin's "The Astronaut" is in the Top 10 Best K-pop Songs of 2022 ranking by Paris Match newspaper


Paris Match is a popular newspaper in France that began its history in 1949. It reports on fashion, celebrity lifestyle, sports, and weekly news. At the end of 2022, it published the ranking of the Top 10 Best K-pop Songs of 2022.

"The Astronaut" by Jin made it into the top 10 of the best K-pop songs released in the past year, according to Paris Match. The pop-rock hit was placed at #4. 

"Jin flourishes on heartbreaking ballads, as evidenced by his previously released singles. Animated by pop-rock energy, "The Astronaut" goes further. Nostalgic and delicate, the title is led head-on with his idol and now friend Chris Martin, Coldplay singer. The clip completes building the dreamy universe that emerges from the title. "Traveling through the universe, just as the Milky Way shines on the darkest roads," the eldest of the BTS is ready to embark on a new adventure. A wonderful goodbye."

Besides being a record-breaking hit, Jin's debut single is highly appreciated by music critics. A member of the KMA committee, Kim Do-Heon, named it one of the most impressive releases by BTS. It is #14 on Billboard's list of the best K-pop songs of 2022. Jin is also the highest K-pop soloist on the list of the best songs of the last year by Rolling Stone. And the best release of 2022, according to Teen Vogue. NME ranked it with 4 stars out of 5 as well.
