If Day 1 of the Run Seokjin Ep. Tour in London was about soaking in the full stage production, Day 2 was about getting up close and personal with Jin. I already knew the setlist, but this show still felt completely different.

My day started early because I was determined not to miss out on merch this time. I grabbed a sandwich to-go, then headed to the venue around 8am and joined the queue for the merch booth. After a few hours of waiting, I finally secured what I wanted by 11am. I then went back to my hotel to rest and recharge some more.

Thanks to Ticketmaster’s unpredictable dynamic pricing, I’d managed to get my Day 2 ticket for nearly half the price of Day 1, and somehow with a much better seat. This time, I was on the right side of the stage, very close, which changed everything.

Day 1 gave me the full view of the production, but Day 2 was about seeing Jin’s facial expressions, his little smiles, and even the way he scanned the crowd. During 'Don’t Say You Love Me', I could’ve sworn he glanced in my direction more than once. Delulu? Maybe. But you can’t convince me otherwise.

The set opened with his usual upbeat songs and the energy was high from the jump. After a few more songs, we played the first outfit game of the night, which led into 'Super Tuna' and this time, he wore a high school uniform from Run Seokjin Episode 31. It was another fun performance but I did like his day 1 outfit better.

Right after the laughs, the mood shifted. Jin sat at the piano and performed 'I Will Come to You' and 'Abyss', and being closer made it hit even harder – just his voice and keys, clear and honest. It felt like he let us into his space for a few minutes. We were then treated to more of his powerful vocals with 'Background' and 'Another Level'. He also showed off his guitar skills toward the end of 'Another Level'.

Then came 'Rope It,' which turned the venue into a cowboy-style dance party. It’s playful and unexpected, and it shows how wide his range really is. I was singing, clapping, and jumping the whole time, along with everyone around me.

We also got the BTS classics and his first solo single, 'The Astronaut.' The sing-along moments were loud, happy, and full of ARMY bombs swaying in sync.

For the encore, he came back with 'Epiphany” and 'Moon,' both gorgeous live. The night wrapped with 'To Me, Today', which has really become one of my favorite songs because of how meaningful it is. It has a fun beat, but it sends a strong message about choosing yourself, growing at your own pace, and finding joy right where you are.

To Me, Today

With the entire arena singing and light sticks waving, I felt my eyes sting again. It was a bittersweet moment. overwhelming gratitude that I was there to experience it all in person, mixed with the sadness of knowing it was about to end. It was the perfect goodbye.

Walking out of the venue after Day 2, I felt overwhelmed in the best way possible. Two nights of Jin, two different perspectives, and one unforgettable experience. From the panic of ticketing to the stress of visas and flights, everything I went through to get here was worth it a hundred times over.
