Written by djfrosty on July 18, 2024
Look no further for your next source of inspiration — Jimin‘s MUSE has arrived, bringing with it seven new solo tracks from the BTS star.
Released Friday (July 19), the project features collaborations with Loco and Sofia Carson, with the South Korean superstar experimenting with bold new sounds and styles throughout. It follows 2023’s FACE, which reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200.
Jimin first announced MUSE in June, with BigHit Music writing in a statement that the LP would showcase his “expanded musical spectrum.” “Following his first solo album, ‘FACE,’ where he sought to explore his true identity, ‘MUSE’ documents his journey in search of the source of his inspiration,” it continued.
The K-pop icon first made his solo debut in 2018, when he dropped the single “Promise.” Five years later, he became the first South Korean soloist to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Like Crazy.”

MUSE is just one of a few projects that Jimin has been working on amid his time in the South Korean military, in which all of his BTS bandmates — except for Jin, who finished his enlistment in June — are currently serving. He’s also gearing up to release a docu-series titled Are You Sure?! with Jung Kook chronicling the two friends’ travels through parts of their home country, the U.S. and Japan.
According to a recent release, the show will “give a deeper look into Jimin and Jung Kook’s undeniable chemistry and endearing friendship as they bond over a variety of unforgettable moments throughout the trip immersing in different cultures, exploring various action-packed activities, and trying out local cuisines.”
