BTS Jimin is Back! | Smeraldo Garden Marching Band Reaction

[@병만-k3j]

지민 곡 해주서 감사합니다 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉지민 사랑해 💜

[@meemac4709]

On the top of their music, BTS mere existence brings people together and spread love all over the world. Hence, the never ending growing ARMY. And, this is what this song means. BTS can easily turn the dark world (Esmeraldo Flower as referenced in Truth Untold) into brighter side by presenting the total opposite of the story of Esmeraldo Flower, a very sad Italian folk tale.

There is an M that is black in JIMIN

Loco was actually in the original BTS lineup, back when they were supposed to be a hip hop crew. He was one who left when they told him he would have to dance. That adds some context to the end when Jimin pulled him in to do some choreography.

Whaaa???? That’s really cool! And makes Loco’s smile while dancing even cuter. 💜

[@sharonlahaye5803]

Definitely a homage to the Beatles’ Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Similar sound and strange sort of psychedelic background. Also in the lyrics he sings “I want to hold your hand,” a very popular early Beatles song. Jimin gave us a clue in the behind the scenes video for Face, he and PDogg went to a record store and bought the Sgt. Pepper album. Sgt Pepper album was the start of the Beatle’s Chapter 2 when they grew tired of who they were and wanted to reinvent themselves.

✨JIMIN's "Smeraldo Garden Marching Band" (ft. Loco) has reached #1 on iTunes in 100 countries, (now at 110), becoming the FASTEST Song to reach this milestone in 2024. Jimin's "Smeraldo Garden Marching Band" also has achieved a remarkable feat, including reaching the #1 spot on the music charts in all eight of the world's biggest music markets! 🌎 🎉🎉 This incredible achievement includes the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Italy, and Japan. It's a testament to Jimin's immense popularity and the global appeal of his music. 🙏👍❤‍🔥😍🎉🎊 JIMIN JIMIN #SGMB_Jimin #Jimin_MUSE #SmeraldoGardenMarchi­ngBand CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN 👏👏👏👏

[@z0feya]

Well if JK's album had inspiration from Michael Jackson, Jimin is definitely channeling the Beatles here. This song/video gives SERIOUS Sgt. Pepper and Magical Mystery Tour vibes. It's cute! 😊

[@outrolars]

fun fact: bts is an official ambassador for rock paper scissors game. look it up, it's legit 😆 bighit always put out updates on legal proceedings that is happening behind the scenes, if you want more information regarding some of the issues mentioned in the announcement, you can watch boracity magazine's video regarding that. also, some info regarding the featuring artist, loco, he actually auditioned to be part of bts but got cut early in the process and later won in the first season of show me the money (2012). as for the song, I don't think there's a much deeper meaning. the song is like a confession so it's very straight to the point just like closer than this

[@RS-oy6bz]

In Smf2 the song ends in a kind of rebirth of Jimin. Face was darker because of his feelings during covid. This album, I think, is a progress from depression to a lighter feeling having a Muse now to give him inspiration.

[@_LVLUP_]

I love that! Go Jimin! Continuing where FACE left off , being free and moving forward 💜

[@duchessebibi692]

This song is happy and cute. This MV remind me of Wes Anderson movies and Sgt Pepper from The Beatles. Jimin is so happy on this MV and he sings live. The choreo is cute. For me, it’s his name on the micro. Thanks for this excited reaction. 💜

[@tastefullyrics4895]

as some other comments have said please react to boracity magazines channel not just the one pertaining this issue but many of her others youll be way more informed on different topics related to bts. so basically a smear campaign happens EVERY year where multiple entities try to ruin bts career or make bighit untrustable or something that ruins their reputation and im not exaggerating when i say this happens yearly. think back to the hardships video how some BS happened every year. when its summarized and youre not given ever single detail it of course shows how horrible things were but you dont have it in your mind constantly since you didnt witness it first hand as well as so many details that werent included in the hardships video cause the video would never end if she tried to add it all. but now youre slowly gonna see first hand how things go the more you keep up with whats happening the more youll connect dots and see there no exaggerating and how bad things truly get vs the summarized versions. everything that you read in the weverse notice was from a few months maybe a year at most. now imagine from 2016 to now how many notices bighit has released and how packed they were each time with multiple different attacks happening. anyways so as for sojang they were a korean youtuber who made horrific and vile videos about different idols like serious allegations rumors hate trains its at the point where i believe maybe 10 different labels have sued them including bighit. idk if it was last year or in 2022 but a army posted about it on weverse hoping that one of the members see it and sue because they were harming so many idols mentally and ruining so many reputations V said "Oh?!! I'll proceed with lawsuits. I could earn some snack money. Mentioning my family and friends👍 Bye~" and "I just skimmed through and all artists, not just us, do not like people like him. All fans, ARMYs, may or may not have monitored him, but I will sue on behalf of those who got hurt but didn't have enough courage." like not kidding he said this word for word obv in korean but this is the official translation. after this theres been so many labels and news outlets posting about suing, taking them to court, them trying to apologize and pretend theyre sorry for causing hurt etc and then the update from bighit. hopefully this shows other people to stop just from the consequences.

[@leighsawyer8219]

Always appreciate Jimin’s ability to masterfully combine interesting instrumentation w/ Hip Hop, Ballad style vocals, and Rap, all wrapped by super catchy hooks and melodies. ❤️ how his lyrics are deceptively simple but have 2-3 underlying meanings - have to listen to his music w/ both ears and brains. For instance - “SGMB reveals a story about the world where all the hidden feelings of the listener are accepted and embraced. Smeraldo flowers signify “the truth that one couldn’t say out loud.” Song urges listeners to embrace their truth because in ‘Smeraldo Garden,’ the marching band embraces everyone’s authenticity and feelings.” (Also ties into BTS’s song “The Truth Untold”.) Some reactors have acted like this is just some goofy summer song, disappointed he didn’t do something like Set Me Free Pt. 2. I think it’s great he’s unafraid to share another side and give us pure joy! He does what he wants despite industry expectations (like singing live in a MV)… can totally see The Beatles’ “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Heart Band” influence. Also, interesting note on the Smeraldo flower: Jimin collaborated with producers Pdogg, Ghstloop, and Evan, who contributed to his solo album, Face. During its prod, the group casually began calling themselves the Smeraldo Garden Marching Band, the playful title eventually becoming a reality.

That's what bieng Army feels like it's like an adventure you don't know what's waiting for you , and it is so fun when they surprise us with something new 💜💜💜

I think the deep meaning of Jiin is that the m in Jimin is on the other side of the microphone and you just can’t see it.

[@_LVLUP_]

I think that is the case! I have very very poor eye sight and so it can be a bit tough at times lol but i am certain you are right !!

[@mandeefarley1399]

I feel like his album Face was to share with ARMY the hard times he experienced and him being “set free” from everyone’s criticisms. I think Muse will be him coming out the other side to “Bloom” (another track from the album). I feel like he’s also telling us that we’re his “Muse.” 🥰💜💜💜

[@Yam13797]

Jimin's song is a response to one of BTS's songs, "Truth Untold", it is based on an Italian story of a man who hid from people, because he did not accept himself, the only thing he liked was to take care of from your garden. A very poor woman starts stealing flowers from him, he gets angry at first, but then realizing that she does it to live, he decides to create a unique flower, so that she can sell it at a high price. They adapted that story and the song. In the song they talk about blue flowers. BTS called it Esmeraldo, because the Italian story is called The Emerald City.

[@Marcelli29]

Did you notice that during the song he mentions June 12 as " when all started" doing the Bangtan gesture? 🥹🥹💜💜

[@_LVLUP_]

I knew I left out something Darn!!!🙄 Yes i did notice he stated that but tbh I assumed that's what is was but tbh I wasn't sure and wasn't very confident when I thought that was the case! thank you so much for clarifying !! 🥲

Info mainly from Billboard article: 💥Thursday (June 20) BTS‘ Jimin revealed the full track list for his upcoming second solo album, MUSE. The seven-song LP due out on July 19 KST (July 18 in other time zones), will feature the intro song “Rebirth,” as well as “Interlude : Showtime,” the pre-release song “Smeraldo Garden Marching Band” (featuring Loco), “Slow Dance” (featuring Sofia Carson), as well as “Be Mine,” “Who”, (single can now be purchased as presale aside from 2 versions MUSE album), and “Closer Than This” (which dropped in December.) Jimin, 28, wrote six of the songs, according to a release, composed, also finally listed as one of the producers for most of his songs, (though shown in Jimin’s documentary his involvement in producing all his songs), which also noted that the announcement from BIGHIT Music featured a vintage feel via images of old-school cassette tapes representing each song, with an overarching theme of “love” connecting all the tracks. The hip-hop/R&B-leaning focus song, “Who,” was produced by Grammy-nominated singer/producer Jon Bellion, along with Pete Nappi, Tenroc, Pdgogg and GHSTLOOP, with a vibe described as “intense bounce and guitar sound.” In addition, the pre-release song “Smeraldo Garden Marching Band” draws inspiration from marching bands, “blending hip-hop elements with the big band sound characterized by a large-scale orchestra, creating an upbeat, lively rhythm and dynamic atmosphere thanks to an assist from South Korean rapper Loco.” Other contributors to the album include Tommy Brown (Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber), as well as producers Pdogg, GHSTLOOP and EVAN, who also worked on Jimin’s first solo album, 2023’s FACE, which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart. Jimin’s official solo debut came with the 2018 single “Promise.” Five years later, he became the first South Korean soloist to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Like Crazy,” followed by FACE‘s “Set Me Free, Pt. 2” reaching No. 30 on the chart. Jimin is still in the midst of his 18-month mandatory South Korean military service, which he began in December; bandmate Jin recently became the first member of BTS to finish his military service.🙏👍❤️‍🔥🔥🐥😍💥🌟💫✨

[@tiger__flow]

The video gives me Wes Anderson vibes, probably that sort of whimsy meets vintage that he does so well. The song is so cute, I also wasn't expecting something so cute and wholesome from Jiminie for some reason, but I'm digging the cute meets werid vibe! I think its going for big summer energy. Loco and Jimin actually vibe together really well on this. I predict this dance ALLLLLLL over tiktok

It depends. There are ARMYs comparing his mood in Face and the coming out of the butterfly from the cocoon in this album especially this song. There are other theories too. A lot of Easter eggs. BTS always talks to Army in such songs which Army catch on.

Plus you all in the comment section have been very helpful and so I do very much appreciate it ! but I know will people will have their theories so maybe I can just watch them on my own time and see what all cool things army can come up with ☺

[@ArmantoAlex13]

I don’t know why you would be expecting something darker than FACE…? FACE was very dark…you can’t get much darker. Just like Agust D-Day being the last of Yoongi’s ‘dark’, tortured era, Jimin has left the darkness of FACEA behind him. The definition of ‘MUSE’ is the opposite of darkness; so I expect this album is warmer and reflective of where Jimin is at today, emotionally - he is in a good place.

[@tracydowd4013]

Here is the behind the scenes - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pn-wmn2jZshggZIsi=mstc89Uqh1zOA6yE I love this song, because it represents JIMIN's essence. He's such a cutie, and he referenced June 12, which is the first day BTS got to meet ARMY's at their debut showcase. The 13th was their official debut. This is definitely a song written for ARMY.

[@collyTan0613]

And the mv is a live performance 😃💜 This is from Bighit: 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. My guess is that this album continues where FACE ended. He is free now 😊💜

If you remember, the last song or music video from "Face"he went from an all black vibe and the very last scene he was dressed all in white. To me that insinuates that he has had an awakening. This song is definitely upbeat! It's happy! And the butterfly theme throughout his videos gives me the impression that he knows there is brightness in him and it's coming out. I also feel an undercurrent of sexuality. Not explicit, but implicit. I get the feeling that Jimin is gender fluid and this is his way of letting us know.
