glitteryvSo, earlier this year, everyone was left SHOOKETH when BigHit announced a SECOND JIMIN ALBUM!!!
Granted, some of us did expect some type of announcement to drop given that there had been a part of the Minimoni conversations (which I talked abt here.) Although it WAS possible that Jimin would dig into FACE (his first solo album), it made just as much sense to think that he would eventually drop new music, IJS.
AND NEW MUSIC IT WAS!!! At times quirky, but always sweet, MUSE is deffo the flipside of his first album. It's also a kind of evolution as Jimin stretched out his skills to see what else he had to express via song.
Back in July, this dropped
This time, RM is having a convo with Jimin all abt MUSE and it's such a joyful watch, NGL! For starters, the tone is a little lighter than when the focus was on RM. Additionally, it was super great to see the back-and-forth between Jimin deconstructing his album and been addressed as a creative individual by RM. Like, yes, Jimin IS adorable, impish, a flirt, and v., v. sassy BUT that's not all there is to him. I've watched both episodes back to back and basically ヽ(✿ﾟ▽ﾟ)ノ to my heart's content.
"Who" was the lead single of the album. AFAIK, it's STILL tracking on the Hot 100 nearly 23 weeks after it first dropped. An all-English song, this is Jimin as an IT POP BOY. This is also one of the few songs that I've enjoyed every remix (the best ones, IMO, are the acoustic and Rock versions)
Trigger warnings: Lots of flashing effects and fast edits. Also the camera moves around a ton.
H/T to Bookish Theories for breaking down the song and MV
