Jimin Solo Music Guide: FACE and MUSE, Voice and Performance

If you're encountering Jimin's solo music for the first time, let's start by distinguishing FACE and MUSE as separate albums. The official videos for 'Like Crazy', 'Set Me Free Pt.2', and 'Who' serve as an entry point to understanding his voice and performance together. This page organizes basic album information, the order for appreciating representative videos, and how to connect back to group music. Other BTS members are linked in the Group Guide.

1. Finding Jimin's Name and Solo Works

Jimin is introduced as Jimin in his official BTS profile. To distinguish him from others with the same name or other content, you can include BTS or the album title in your search query. Official videos may display his name in both Korean and English. When saving music on streaming services, make sure to check not only the song title but also the artist field.

When comparing solo songs to short parts in group songs, it's necessary to consider the overall length and structure of the song. In an album where one person's voice continues for an extended period, changes between the intro, chorus, and final sections sound different. Even if you start from a favorite section, listening from beginning to end once can better explain why that section stuck with you.

2. Basic Distinction Between FACE and MUSE

The official introduction to FACE describes 'Like Crazy' as the title track and 'Set Me Free Pt.2' as a pre-release track. The MUSE release announcement confirms it as the second solo album and its release date. Since the titles of both works are short and easy to search, it's convenient to include 'Jimin' to avoid mixing with other results for common words.

Rather than trying to evaluate both albums from the start, find out which album the song you liked in a video belongs to. Then, expanding to the tracks before and after will make the role of the representative song clearer. You can move from FACE to MUSE following the release order, but if your initial interest was sparked by 'Who', it's perfectly fine to go backward from MUSE.

3. Comparing Two Videos from FACE

Watching 'Like Crazy' and 'Set Me Free Pt.2' together allows you to observe different expressions within a single album. First, appreciate the song and visuals as a whole, and then, for the second listen, focus on where the voice begins or the changes just before the chorus. Rather than rushing to conclude which is better, finding out where you concentrate is useful for discovering your personal preferences.

In performance, instead of just looking at the size of movements, you can observe their flow and pauses. If you choose one observation target, such as an arm or a foot, it's easy to follow even with rapid scene changes. However, music videos are not solely for documenting choreography, so don't judge the connection of all movements based on edited scenes. If you're more curious, you can additionally search for official choreography videos or original stage performances of the same song.

4. Entering MUSE with the Theme of Inspiration

The official MUSE announcement introduces this album as a journey to find the source of inspiration, guiding listeners through seven tracks, including 'Closer Than This'. It's best to know this background first when listening to 'Who', but not to predetermine the meaning of all songs based on a single sentence from the official description. Appreciate the album by placing the question posed by its title alongside the sounds you actually hear.

After your first listen, you can note whether the vocals or the accompaniment stuck with you first. Then, listen to the same song again, focusing on parts you might have overlooked initially. How the tempo or atmosphere changes when moving to other tracks is also part of the album experience. Listening to your favorite songs separately and listening to them in their full sequence are not competing methods but complementary experiences.

5. Seeing Voice and Movement Separately and Together

When listening only to the audio, you can observe the length of sentence endings and the breath taken before moving to the next sentence. In a video, you can see how the same section creates a different impression when combined with certain movements or expressions. If you appreciate the music and visuals separately and then combine them again, choices that initially passed naturally might feel more specific.

This observation is not a test to evaluate technique like an expert. It's a way to find language to describe your own impressions. It's sufficient to discuss what effect was created within the work, rather than attributing feelings from a specific scene to Jimin's actual personal history. You can explain the relationship between rhythm, melody, and visuals without quoting lyrics.

6. Paths to Connect with Other Members' Music

If you want to see more connections between dance and rhythm, you can follow the j-hope guide; if you want to compare vocals across various pop songs, you can follow the Jung Kook guide. Choose one common question for each of their albums. For example, observing whether the voice and accompaniment change together when the chorus begins can reveal more specific differences than impressions of names or genres.

When you return to BTS songs afterward, pay attention to the moments where Jimin's voice connects with other members' parts. You don't need to consume all albums at once just because you're listening to group and solo songs together. Going back and forth between just one favorite video and one group song is enough. Starting with familiar parts and expanding your scope is an easier way to sustain your appreciation.

7. Checking Official Videos and New Updates

This page links to HYBE LABELS' official videos for 'Like Crazy', 'Set Me Free Pt.2', and 'Who'. This is an introductory list that distinguishes them from short re-edited videos or unofficial subtitled videos, and it does not include all of Jimin's solo or collaborative works. When looking for other versions, check for notations like 'choreography version', 'remix', or 'live' after the title.

For new release and performance updates, cross-reference the dates and titles in official announcements on BTS Weverse. Information about the group's 2026 album can be found separately on the group page. Expressions like 'first revealed' or 'coming soon' used in past articles were statements at that time, so it's more accurate not to interpret them as current schedules. Recording the release date when you find a work can help reduce such confusion.
