If there’s one thing we know for sure today, it’s that no one has ever gone on “hiatus” like BTS is doing. Since announcing and subsequently beginning their service in the South Korean military, fans have been treated to six solo albums, multiple digital singles, dozens of photoshoots, a full tour from SUGA, a headlining spot at Lollapalooza from j-hope, and a travel show from Jung Kook and Jimin coming soon to Disney+.
Eldest member Jin is officially back and reportedly working on a solo project of his own, and while the BTS ARMY patiently awaits more details (and j-hope’s return in October), we can spend time enjoying a new release from Jimin. Following the release of a second LP from RM, Jimin is the next member to drop a follow-up project that was fully recorded and prepared before his departure.
MUSE is the continuation of Jimin's solo debut, FACEwhich was a thoughtful and often intense record in which Jimin undertook the hard work of digging into his identity. The project’s title track, “Like Crazy,” was the shining focal point that marked him as the first Korean artist to achieve a number-one solo debut on Billboard’s Hot 100. MUSE It's not exactly a change, but it takes Jimin in a different direction: one that's brighter, more cheerful, and more externally focused.
Listen to the album below and read on for some of the key takeaways. MUSE.
