The first official solo single by BTS&#8217; Jin has sold more than 700,000 copies on the first day of its release, his agency said Saturday. &#8216;The Astronaut&#8217; sold 700,754 copies a day after it came out at 1 p.m. Friday, Big Hit Music said, quoting data from Hanteo Chart, a local market tracker, reports Yonhap. It marks a big sales figure for a single-track album.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The Astronaut&#8217; also topped iTunes&#8217; top songs chart in 97 countries around the world, including the United States, Britain, Germany and France, as of 9 a.m. Saturday. The song&#8217;s music video telling a story of an astronaut who accidentally landed on Earth has also garnered over 17 million views on YouTube as of 2 p.m. &#8216;The Astronaut&#8217; is a pop-rock genre song co-written by Coldplay, with the British band also playing on the recording.<\/p>\n<p>Jin participated in writing the lyrics, expressing his affection for Army, the global fandom of the K-pop septet. Jin&#8217;s deeply sentimental voice accompanied by a calming sound of acoustic guitar and gradual build-up of synth sound creates the mysterious and dreamy mood of the song. After wrapping up promotional activities for &#8216;The Astronaut&#8217;, Jin is set to temporarily leave the music scene to become the first BTS member to enlist for mandatory military service.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/212443307415565878\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog_hollywood\/article2652_shop.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<hr\/>\n<div style=\"padding -bottom: 5px; padding-top: 5px;\" align=\"center\"><strong>Related Videos<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_82349\"  width=\"1140\" height=\"641\"  data-origwidth=\"1140\" data-origheight=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/731VQt2FcAo?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"twitter-timeline\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/seokjinism1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">Tweets by seokjinism1<\/a> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first official solo single by BTS&#8217; Jin has sold more than 700,000 copies on the first day of its&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":28968,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28968","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-hollywood"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28968","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=28968"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28968\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29067,"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28968\/revisions\/29067"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28968"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=28968"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=28968"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=28968"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
