First photo of Jin wearing a military uniform from bootcamp released, ARMY reacts

<p>Popular K-pop band BTS' Kim-Seok Jin, famously known as Jin,&nbsp;is breaking records, one after the other, with his solo single 'The Astronaut'. After topping various charts, the hit track has become&nbsp;the fastest single by a solo artist to sell a million copies.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On Friday, artist agency Big Hit Music announced that Jin's first solo single's sales have surpassed more than one million copies, which makes the pop sensation the third solo artist in K-pop history to sell over one million copies of an album.</p>

<p>According to Gaon Chart, an outstanding total of 1,024,382 copies of 'The Astronaut' have been sold so far. It was released on October 28, 2022.</p>

<p>Co-written by Jin, British rock band Coldplay, and Norwegian DJ Kygo, the single talks about Jin's affection for his fans.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Previously, Chris Martin spoke about Coldplay's first collaboration with BTS. The 45-year-old musician said,&nbsp;"I don't think we'll ever be able to match the BTS surprise. That was surprising even for us."</p>
