[Physics] Can the Klein-Gordon Equation represent Particles with non-zero spin

klein-gordon-equationparticle-physicsquantum mechanicsquantum-spin

Every Solution of the Dirac Equation is also a solution of the Klein-Gordon equation.

So the K-G equation does not necessarily represent particles with non-zero spin.

Would it be incorrect to conclude that KG equation relates solely to zero-spin particles?

KG equation written in the momentum space is just a mass-shell condition, so it holds for any particles that are on-shell (e.g. gauge-fixed Maxwell equations in the vacuum are $\square A_{\mu}=0$, which is just KG equation for the massless field).
