Congratulations, Jimin!
Back on July 19, 2024, Who arrived as the title track for MUSE, Jimin's second solo album. The song became an instant chart-topper and the singer earned global praise for his artistry. Through the immaculate lyrics of the track, the BTS member talked about an idealized love, an imaginary person who activates his thoughts day and night. However, he is unable to find her in reality. As days go by, he starts losing his patience. Agony and frustration fill his heart. The complex theme of the song garnered much attention so did the cinematic music video, which has around 79 million views on YouTube now.
