BTS's Jin co-wrote his first solo single "The Astronaut" with the English band Coldplay.

Jin's agency Big Hit Entertainment officially announced the collaboration by sharing a poster on BTS's social media account on Thursday.

Jin's upcoming solo single will be released on Oct. 28.

According to the promotion schedule shared on Wednesday, concept photos of the song will be released from Oct. 24 to 26. Music video teaser clips will be unveiled on Oct. 27.

"The Astronaut" will likely be the last song from Jin before he enlists for his mandatory military service.

On Monday, the company disclosed that Jin would no longer seek a deferment from mandatory military service. The disclosure added that the other six members of the group will also enter the army later.

All able-bodied men in Korea are required to serve the country for a period of 18 to 21 months.

Boy band BTS previously collaborated with Coldplay, releasing the track "My Universe," which debuted at No.1 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart.
