BTS’ Jin Transforms ‘Tonight Show’ Stage Into a Giant Bed & Takes Over Jimmy Fallon’s Desk: Exclusive Photos

AI Chat - Image Generator:

For his return to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday night (May 21), Jin transformed the stage into a giant bed — and Billboard has the exclusive preview photos to prove it.

The BTS member made himself at home in Studio 6B, getting extra cozy for his performance of “Don’t Say You Love Me,” the lead single from his just-released second solo EP Echo. Jin dropped the seven-track project — the follow-up to his November debut solo EP Happy — on Friday, May 16.

In addition to his comfy performance, Jin also sat down for an interview with Fallon — just like he did for his first solo appearance on The Tonight Show late last year. And this time, he turned the tables on Fallon too, jumping behind the desk to grill the late-night host.

Jin’s superstar group BTS — also comprised of SUGA, j-hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jung Kook — first visited The Tonight Show back in 2018 for a performance of the Billboard Hot 100 No. 11 hit “Idol” and “I’m Fine.” In 2020, the boys made multiple Tonight Show appearances — including a couple of virtual performances on the show during the COVID-19 pandemic — before returning again in 2021 for performances of their No. 1 hits “Butter” and “Permission to Dance.”

Back in March, Jin’s BTS bandmate j-hope made his solo Tonight Show debut and got similarly cozy, rocking a pair of fluffy bunny slippers with his jeans-and-black-blazer ‘fit.

To watch Jin’s full performance and interview, tune in to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday night (May 21) at 11:35 p.m. ET on NBC, or streaming on Peacock.

Friday Music Guide: New Music From Rihanna, Morgan Wallen, Jin & More

JIN’s seven-track collection saw a landslide victory, with a staggering 93% of votes placed in support of the EP. Voters chose Echo over new releases from artists across genres, including Morgan Wallen, Rihanna, Laufey, Avicii (a posthumous compilation album), Lola Young, Sebastián Yatra and Rico Nasty.

Echo — the follow-up to JIN’s debut solo EP, 2024’s Happy — was released on Friday (May 16). “Don’t Say You Love Me,” “Nothing Without Your Love,” “Loser” featuring YENA, “Rope It,” “With the Clouds,” “Background” and “To Me, Today” make up the tracklist for the K-pop star’s new project. “Don’t Say You Love Me” also got an official music video, directed by Yongseok Choi and shot across various locations in Singapore.

He’ll be celebrating the new release in the upcoming week in New York City with a televised performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon!, on an episode set to air on Wednesday (May 21) on NBC.

Since its announcement, Echo has been described by JIN’s team as a “perspective on universal life experiences, capturing everyday emotions with warmth and sincerity. Built on dynamic band sounds, the album showcases his versatile vocals across a spectrum of moods and styles. It reflects a deeper layer of vocal maturity and personal storytelling that underscores Jin’s evolving artistry.”

Among the new music trailing behind Echo on this week’s poll are Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem, Rihanna’s “Friend of Mine,” Laufey’s “Tough Luck” and more, all with a very minor percentage of the vote.
