Discovered for his looks as he was walking down the street[10], Jin was invited to audition for Big Hit Entertainment while he was studying acting.[11][2] 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.[12] Although he had done songwriting before, he first co-produced a solo single from the album Wings titled "Awake",[13] which charted at 31 on the Gaon Music Chart[14] and 6 on the Billboard World Digital Singles Chart.[15] In December 2016, he released a Christmastime version of "Awake" on SoundCloud.[16]

On August 9, 2018, a trailer with the new song titled "Epiphany" was released. It was described as a "building pop-rock melody", and was a solo performance by Jin, with the lyrics speaking about self-love. The full version of the song was released for the first time on the album Love Yourself: Answer[17]. It charted at 30 on the Gaon Music Chart[18] and 4 on the Billboard World Digital Singles Chart.[19]
