Jin discussed album progress in a recent Weverse session
Jin, who was discharged from the South Korean military in June this year, recently spoke about his album during a live session on Weverse.

Meanwhile, Jin has been busy with a Netflix show
Apart from his album work, Jin also revealed that he had been filming a Netflix variety show titled Kian's Bizarre B&B.
"I don't know how well I did. I stayed there for about 10 days for filming," he shared during the same live session on Weverse.
