EXO member and renowned soloist Chen is set to extend his musical journey well into 2026.
On December 16, 2025, Chen officially revealed the full list of dates and locations for his solo concert tour, “Arcadia,” promising a series of emotional and high-energy performances for his global fanbase.
Expanding the “Arcadia” Journey
The “Arcadia” tour originally began in October 2025 with a successful two-day kick-off at the KEPCO Art Center in Seoul.
Following the initial announcement of stops in Taipei and Yokohama for early January, Chen has now confirmed several additional cities across Asia, broadening the reach of the tour significantly.
The newly announced schedule for 2026 includes:
- Taipei & Yokohama: January 2026
- Jakarta
- Manila
- Macau
- Kuala Lumpur
This expansion highlights Chen’s enduring popularity as a solo artist and his commitment to meeting fans who have supported his music across Southeast Asia and beyond.
A Theme of Hope and Perseverance
The tour takes its name from Chen’s September 2025 release, “Arcadia.” The title track of the same name was widely praised for its soaring vocals and its “anthem-like” message of hope and perseverance.
Fans can expect a setlist that balances these powerful new tracks with his classic ballads and emotional hits like “Beautiful Goodbye” and “Shall We?”.
The “Arcadia” era represents a pivotal point in Chen’s solo career, showcasing a more cinematic and grand sound that has resonated deeply with listeners.
The concert is expected to feature high-quality production that mirrors the artistic direction of his recent music videos.
Ticketing and Tour Details
While the cities have been confirmed, fans are encouraged to stay tuned to official social media channels for specific venue details and ticketing information for each stop.
Given the intimate nature of Chen’s previous solo shows and the high demand for his live vocals, tickets are expected to be highly sought after.
This tour comes amidst a busy period for Chen, who has been balancing his solo promotions with activities under his agency, INB100, and his ongoing connection to EXO.
For “SOONDINGIEs” (Chen’s fans), the 2026 tour serves as a beautiful opportunity to experience the “Vocal King’s” live performances in a dedicated solo setting.

In a stunning display of elegance and star power, BTS’s Jin has once again captured the world’s attention as the global ambassador for the prestigious European high-jewelry house, FRED.
The latest campaign photoshoot, released on December 16, 2025, showcases Jin’s unparalleled visuals, earning him the nickname “God of Visuals” across social media.
A Sophisticated and Regal Transformation
For this high-stakes campaign, Jin exuded a refined, aristocratic atmosphere. Wearing a series of bright-toned, tailored suits, his look was characterized by:
- Classic Styling: His black hair was styled to partially reveal his forehead, adding a mature and sophisticated edge to his “Worldwide Handsome” persona.
- Luxury Presence: The shoot emphasized a “regal” aesthetic, perfectly aligning with FRED’s history as a brand beloved by European royalty since its founding in 1936.
The “Jin Effect”: High-End Luxury Sells Out
The true testament to Jin’s global influence lies in the commercial impact of the campaign.
Despite the astronomical price tags of the high-jewelry pieces, they began selling out almost immediately after the photos were released. Key pieces worn by Jin included:

- The Force 10 Necklace: A centerpiece item valued at approximately KRW 134.6 million (approx. $100,000 USD).
- The Force 10 Bracelet: Priced at roughly KRW 37.5 million ($27,800 USD).
- Force 10 Earrings: Valued at about KRW 17.2 million ($12,700 USD).
This rapid sell-out of “ultra-luxury” items underscores the immense purchasing power of his fanbase and his unique position as a marketing powerhouse who can move products in the six-figure price range.
A Global Brand Powerhouse
Jin’s partnership with FRED is historic; in July 2024, he was named the brand’s first-ever global ambassador in its 88-year history.
This collaboration is just one facet of his extensive portfolio, which includes roles as a global ambassador or model for:
- Luxury & Fashion: Gucci and Alo.
- Tech & Beauty: Dolby and Laneige.
- Food & Lifestyle: Ottogi (Jin Ramen), Dongwon F&B (Dongwon Tuna), and Lucido-L.
Music and Touring Dominance
While conquering the fashion world, Jin is also setting records in the music industry. His first solo fan concert and world tour, RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR, recently achieved a historic milestone:
- Global Top 20: It ranked in Pollstar’s Global Top 20 Concert Tours, the highest ever for an Asian solo artist.
- Box Office Records: He became the highest-grossing Korean solo artist in Europe on Billboard’s Top Tour Monthly Chart.
The Unmatched Influence of Seokjin
Whether he is setting the stage on fire during a world tour or selling out $100,000 necklaces, Jin continues to prove that his influence is limitless.
As he balances high-fashion campaigns with history-making musical achievements, Jin remains at the absolute pinnacle of global superstardom, redefining what it means to be a “muse” in the modern age.
