Jin was discovered for his looks as he was walking down the street.[9] He was invited to audition for Big Hit Entertainment while he was studying acting.[10][3] On June 13, 2013, Jin made his debut as one of the four vocalists of BTS on Mnet's M Countdown with the track "No More Dream" from their debut single album, 2 Cool 4 Skool.[11] Although he had done songwriting before, he first co-produced a solo single from the album Wings titled "Awake" which charted at thirty-one on the Gaon Music Chart and six on the Billboard World Digital Singles Chart.[12] In December 2016, he released a Christmas version of "Awake" on SoundCloud.[13]

On August 9, 2018, a trailer for the band's upcoming album was released, with a song entitled "Epiphany". It was described as a "building pop-rock melody" by Billboard,[14] and was a solo performance by Jin, with the lyrics touching on concepts of acceptance and self-love. The full version of the song was released for the first time on the album Love Yourself: Answer.[15] It charted at 30 on the Gaon Music Chart and four on the Billboard World Digital Singles Chart.[16][17]
