BTS’ Jimin Announces Second Solo Album ‘MUSE’

The BTS member Jimin‘s art and muse are one and the same on his sophomore solo album, which the K-pop star announced on Weverse Monday (June 17 2024) and is arriving later this summer.

The album titled MUSE will feature seven tracks, including the previously released single “Closer Than This,” which Jimin dropped in December 2023. The MUSE  album will arrive July 19 2024, just less than a year and a half after the 28-year-old singer released his 2023 debut solo album FACE, which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200.

“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,” reads BigHit Music’s post on Weverse, which notes that the project will showcase “Jimin’s expanded musical spectrum.”

BTS Jimin made his official solo debut in 2018 with the single “Promise.” And Five years later, he became the first South Korean soloist to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Like Crazy,” with FACE‘s “Set Me Free, Pt. 2” also reaching No. 30 on the chart.

The news of this new album comes amid the Jimin’s 18-month mandatory service in the South Korean military, which he started in December alongside his bandmates V, Jung Kook and RM.

With the exception of Jin, who finished his service just last week, all of BTS is currently in the process of fulfilling their duties, with full-band activities expected to resume in 2025.
