All you need to know about BTS Jimin's solo career and recent second album release, MUSE
The vocalist and main dancer of the seven-piece K-pop boy group, Jimin, officially made his solo debut with the release of his first album, FACE, in March 2023. The album garnered a lot of attention for the idol's powerful vocals, energetic choreography, and the diversity in the album's tracks.

As fans were excited to get a glimpse of what Jimin's solo career had in store, the idol rolled yet another solo release. On July 19, 2024, he released his second solo album, MUSE, with seven tracks. MUSE utterly impressed fans due to the range it showcased compared to FACE.

However, these two albums aren't the only releases by the BTS member. His first-ever release, which still stands as one of the most heartwarming tracks for ARMYs, is Promise, a single he released in 2018. While the track was initially rolled out on SoundCloud after his official solo debut, it has been made available on Spotify and other streaming platforms.

The idol has also released OSTs and other singles between the release of his two albums. He sang the track With You for Our Blues K-drama series in 2022 and collaborated with other solo artists such as VIBE with Taeyang, Angel for the Fast and Furious The Fast Saga movie, etc.

He also released a track called Closer Than This as a gift to ARMYs before his mandatory military enlistment. While the idol is currently serving in the military and isn't expected to be discharged until June 2025, his agency has been releasing content he prerecorded before his enlistment to keep ARMYs occupied.
