The Rest Is History is Jin's first album. It was released on October 18, 2004. It was originally supposed to come out in summer 2003, but it was delayed for over a year. The first single, "Learn Chinese" came out in 2003. The second single for the album was supposed to be "I Got a Love", but Roc-A-Fella Records blocked the decision, fearing too many singles would over-expose Kanye West. The proper second single for the album was "Senorita." The album was number 54 on the Billboard 200.
