More about Jimin’s second solo album MUSE

On July 19, BTS' Jimin unveiled his highly-anticipated second solo album, MUSE, even as he continues his military service. This new release, available in BLOOMING and SERENADE editions, represents a significant milestone in Jimin's artistic journey, building upon the introspective themes he first explored in his debut album, FACE, but in a contrasting tone.

MUSE offers a deeper dive into Jimin's creative evolution, showing his growth as both a singer and a songwriter. The album features a collection of standout tracks that highlight his versatility and emotions. Smeraldo Garden Marching Band, featuring rapper Loco, released as a pre-release single is a vibrant and spirited track that adds a unique flair to the album. In contrast, Closer Than This, released just after Jimin’s military enlistment in December 2023, is a heartfelt dedication to ARMYs, reflecting Jimin's deep gratitude and connection to his fans.
