BTS’ Jung Kook Makes History With His Japanese Hit Song “Your Eyes Tell”

On 15 July, BTS released MAP OF THE SOUL: 7 ~ THE JOURNEY Album which became their 4th Japanese studio album. One of its new songs is “Your eyes tell”, that Jungkook took part in writing and composing. “Your eyes tell” became the theme song for an upcoming Japanese film of the same name. “Your Eyes Tell” movie follows the romance between a telemarketer who is losing her eyesight and an ex-boxer with a chip on his shoulder. BigHit CEO Bang Si Hyuk later revealed that Jungkook wrote the final song, “Your eyes tell”, while reading the movie’s script and watching its video clips.

Jungkook, the golden maknae of BTS, made history with his breathtaking Japanese ballad “Your Eyes Tell,” a song that not only showcased his musical talent but also marked a significant milestone in his artistic journey. Originally written by Jungkook for his solo mixtape, the emotionally rich song was ultimately selected as the soundtrack for the Japanese film of the same name, making him the first BTS member to contribute a track to a major film score. With its hauntingly beautiful melody and poignant lyrics, “Your Eyes Tell” resonated deeply with listeners, highlighting Jungkook’s ability to express profound emotion through both his vocals and songwriting.

Upon release, the song topped Japan’s Oricon charts and ranked impressively on Billboard Japan Hot 100, proving that Jungkook’s influence extended far beyond Korea. What made “Your Eyes Tell” even more meaningful was the depth of its message — one of loss, longing, and the unspoken comfort of love.

Jungkook’s delicate vocal delivery, paired with the cinematic arrangement, captivated fans worldwide, earning critical acclaim and solidifying his reputation as a multifaceted artist. “Your Eyes Tell” not only enriched BTS’s Japanese discography but also etched Jungkook’s name into history as a solo creator capable of moving hearts in any language.

The promotional posters for the Japanese movie “Your Eyes Tell” have already hit the market and Jungkook’s name appears on top of the movie posters credited for the song. The movie hit cinemas on the 29th October 2020. Jungkook now officially becomes the first international OST Composer in history to be credited on theater’s promotional posters of a Japanese movie production for his song “Your Eyes Tell”

Congratulations to our Kookie!
