, “BTS’ Jimin is returning with his 2nd solo album ‘MUSE’.” “Scheduled for release at 1 p.m. on the 19th, ‘MUSE’ is Jimin’s new album released approximately 1 year and 4 months after his solo debut album ‘FACE’ in March 2023. While ‘FACE’ focused on Jimin facing his true self, ‘MUSE’ explores the journey of finding inspiration surrounding ‘self’ in a sincere way.”,
 |
, “The theme of this album is ‘love.’ It includes 7 tracks such as the title track ‘Who,’ ‘Rebirth (Intro),’ ‘Interlude : Showtime,’ ‘Smeraldo Garden Marching Band (feat. Loco),’ ‘Slow Dance (feat. Sofia Carson),’ ‘Be Mine,’ and ‘Closer Than This.’ Through this new album, Jimin tells the story of attempting various approaches to find love and sometimes feeling lost.”,
 |
“‘FACE’ collaborators including Pdogg, GHSTLOOP, EVAN, and Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and producer Jon Bellion have come together for Jimin’s ‘MUSE.’ Main producer Pdogg shared insights into the production process and behind-the-scenes through Big Hit Music.”,

‘Pdogg emphasized, “I focused on reflecting Jimin’s emotions fully in the music he worked on.” He added, “We worked in Los Angeles, and perhaps influenced by the city’s vibes, songs with happy and positive energy were created.”‘, ‘Pdogg mentioned that he took a conceptual approach to ‘MUSE’ inspired by The Beatles’ ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ and aimed to infuse the exciting feelings of a muse into the tracks. He suggested, “The flow of emotions is reflected in the track order, so focusing on this will make listening more enjoyable.”‘,
 |
“In fact, the first track of the new album, ‘Rebirth (Intro),’ uses choir and orchestra elements to maintain a connection with the previous ‘FACE’ while transitioning to the next chapter. The following track, ‘Interlude : Showtime,’ serves as the introduction to a new story, leading to the journey of finding a muse until ‘Be Mine.’ The title track ‘Who’ best reveals the album’s message and emotions regarding love.”, ‘Pdogg also shared a cute anecdote about working on the title track ‘Who.’ He said, “I made it with Jon Bellion in New York. Jimin directly explained to Jon Bellion the story he wanted to tell, and I remember him being very shy.” Pdogg added, “After finishing the work, we coincidentally met Jimmy Fallon in the next studio and played him the song for the first time.”‘,

‘Lastly, Pdogg praised Jimin, stating, “Jimin’s diligent attitude is charming. After finishing the ‘FACE’ album, he immediately started working on ‘MUSE.’ I remember thinking, ‘He’s working so hard even with military enlistment approaching?’ with a smile.” He concluded by saying, “Thanks to Jimin’s efforts, we can witness his further growth in the musical journey.”‘, “Meanwhile, Jimin will make his first stage performance of the title track ‘Who’ from his 2nd solo album ‘MUSE’ on the popular U.S. NBC show ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ airing on the 23rd at 12:35 p.m. (Korean time).”
