I admire Jimin's work of getting involved in the composition and production of his songs. He has said that he is not an expert but he wants to tell his own story and he has done it with his albums FACE and MUSE. His leader said that he admires and respects that Jimin wants to express his feelings with his work, success or marketing decisions are not so important, he simply does things the way he wants to do them

[@Jess1013]

I don’t have a preference whether an album is shorter or longer as long as it’s cohesive either musically, thematically, or both. The theme of Muse is Jimin’s desire to find a love that inspires him- literally from the press release “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.” I believe the “muse” could be artistic, romantic, emotional, or physical inspiration.

[@Beesi-hh2jz]

This is lovely ! you've summed up the album so well, Jimin has given lots of thoughts into his albums and its really beautiful :)

[@abbiem7773]

Jimin’s song ❣️☆‘Closer Than This’ has a very meaningful MV, that shows some of the most memorable moments Jimin shared with army throughout the yrs since their debut in June 2013. It dropped last yr, in December, 9 days after Jimin joined military, which was a surprise nobody expected, to show his love & support & also to comfort army.  Jimin even had legendary Ayo the Producer, as well, working on it, who even posted, about his involvement. Then ended up being included in Jimin’s MUSE album. This song is even 1 of the 6 songs of Jimin’s, that have reached All-Kill status of #1 worldwide in 119 countries. 🙏👍❤️‍🔥😍👏👏 🫶🎉🎊

I love how Jimin's album is always unpredictable. Like easily the transition from FACE to MUSE was drastic, even fans who are supporting jimin for years now are still caught off guard. I love the variety between his songs, the play on genres but it doesnt feel scattered or out of theme like some other albums that just look like random compiled songs to make an album. I love how his album is well thought of and the fact that he is very hands on the writing, composition and production of most of the songs up until the concepts. I think that's what sets BTS as a whole and the members apart from a lot of artists.

[@mimigarcia468]

Adicta a MUSE. Adicta a Park Jimin. Su increíble y única voz, su forma de bailar, su creatividad. Jimin es un genio

[@elizaaparecidakmick6590]

Me 2. 💜🇧🇷💜🇧🇷💜🇧🇷

[@reneezemlock7880]

The last track, "Closer than This" was a single pre-release months ago. It's a fan song that Jimin made for ARMY while he's serving in the military.

[@abbiem7773]

It’s amazing the so many things, so many places Jimin went, all that he did non stop, including filming at that abandoned unused resort in Korea, where the Tonight show performance, was filmed, in an abandoned resort, somewhere in Korea, that closed in 2022, that had housed now abandoned swimming pools, not in use anymore. Which is where Jimin went to film the live performance, as well as flying to Hungary, only for a couple of days just to film the “Who” MV, which he also created and oversaw the choreography for, all , more recently, just months before going into the military, end of last yr. and nobody new about it, all for around a couple of yrs. Only time we all heard anything is when ppl he worked with, like the famous producers in LA as well as in NY, posted photos or just comments praising Jimin, while working alongside of him, mentioning as well being so excited about the project they were working on. There were even times when backup dancers posted things that ppl found, saw, so word somewhat got out. But yet, when finally FACE album came out, even then not a one of those producers were involved with any of those songs in FACE. Now we all know that it was for Jimin’s second album MUSE, all those songs, that all those producers were excited about & referring to. But who would have thought that Jimin was already working on second album as well way back then in 2022. Jimin so impressively & amazingly crammed so much in, trying to get as much content out, all before he left for the military the end of last yr! Writing lyrics, composing melodies, producing many songs, but if not credited always still participating, also coming up with concepts ideas, for look of MV’s as well as overseeing the filming & directing as well! Jimin even created the choreography for his song “Who”. Jimin also is involved in design of album covers, and choosing concept & look during photoshoots! To work on creating all this music, all this content non stop for almost a couple yrs is beyond mind boggling to think about! But I’m so grateful, so thankful that he did, so we can all appreciate & enjoy his on another level sheer masterful artistry while he’s away in the military til June of 2025! 🙏👍❤️‍🔥😅🤩😍🫶✨

All his songs can be a single even Rebirth is so good.

[@elizaaparecidakmick6590]

I am addicted to this album. Jimin is fantastic. Silver Army from Brazil 💜🇧🇷💜🇧🇷💜🇧🇷💜💜

[@cherriesforjm9145]

I prefer the one artists genuinely worked hard for and showcase their artistry, no matter what kind of album it is, you can just feel that the artist enjoy making the songs. Jimin just started seriously writing for his own songs in 2022. He does write even before hiatus but it's not like his top priority, he doesn't even have q background with it. He started as a hiphop/contemporary dancer then learned singing and now writing and composing. He seriously fell in love with making songs in 2022. I know companies wanted profits and marketing is a huge factor in a lot of decisions but Jimin just usually goes with his whims in releases. He could have released Be Mine as the pre-release tbh, but for some reason he chose SGMB 😭 I think it's because he wanted a fun song for everyone and it is quirky and fun, lol. Be Mine should have MV or at least dance performance, it's so good.

[@joely_d]

Yes, really an MV for be mine would have exploded on internet, but he decided on Smeraldo because it was his favorite song in terms of how happy it made him, and it makes me proud to know that he already feels better after FACE

[@cherriesforjm9145]

@@joely_d the minimoni Muse album reaction? Omg Jimin looked so happy and content and confident there, I'm so happy for him. He really enjoyed making Muse. And he keeps saying, like in his recent weverse letter and fan contents, that he will make better songs and better performances, I'm so excited 😭 Like imagine all the melodies and lyrics he's coming up in his free time inside military training 😭 He probably spend his designated mobile phone time calling pdogg and his team and talking about the songs he's coming up with 😂 His lack of technical knowledge in producing he makes up with the brilliant melodies he hums out of the blue and pdogg catching it and using his knowledge to make a framework, what a good team 😭

[@rubrikcrousbofill2588]

Jimin is selfless. He choose SGMB bcoz aside from being happy in it and its about his producers, members and fans and an outro CTT a fan song. BE MINE could easily be a Pre release or a single and wouldve had a Music Video. I bet the dancing would break the internet. Or SLOW Dance since the title “dance” is in it but we didnt get any video. I just hate Bighit for not giving everything to Jimin just like FACE while the other mmbers did a lot of MVs and dance videos.

[@cherriesforjm9145]

@@rubrikcrousbofill2588 oh the long list of Bighit's sins in not promoting Jimin well 😮‍💨 This should have been sent to radio, it's been 3 days in Global Spotify #1 and #2 yesterday in USA Spotify. But ofc, no extra support from the company again because he's not the member the prefer to make it big in the US. Anyway, the Who remixes are bangers so there's that again. Even with remixes, Jimin is so amazing. My favorite is Acoustic and Rock, the funky version is bop too

[@lamimedi7884]

Pls react to "Lie" by Jimin, The production of this songs is crazy, or Filter LIVE also has a very similar vibe to Be Mine

[@meemac4709]

I love WHO but my most favorite is BE MINE.

[@joely_d]

Pls react to FACE by Jimin, could you put the lyrics and MV of the songs, Jimin loves to explore his voice with many genres

[@rokmanreacts]

Thinking about it!

I really love this album. I can imagine Jimin starting his solo concert with Rebirth. His fans will be crying. ❤❤❤️

[@sylviabondoc3870]

I SO LOVE THE MUSE ALBUM!

[@eileencritchley4630]

The intro Jimin was telling RM that he was messing about on a keyboard at P Dogg's place and PDogg asked him to play it again when he did PDogg suggested he use it for the intro and so that's what Jimin did.

[@rubrikcrousbofill2588]

I love an album with meaningful and beautifully done songs than a large album with songs i dont remember after some listen.

[@miladistorresyero6753]

Jimin es tan dedicado a su trabajo , gracias por reaccionar a su ALBUM❤

[@sharonlahaye5803]

I love this album. There’s a MiniMoni video with Jimin and RM discussing the songs on this album. Have you reacted to RM’s albums, Indigo and Right Place, Wrong Person yet? Please do. Both are incredible. I especially like RPWP, but it has a very different alternative sound. It’s genius. There is also a MiniMoni video with Jimin and RM for RM’s album. (Btw, MiniMoni is the combined name for Jimin/Namjoon.)

✨BTS‘ Jimin revealed the full track list for his second solo album, MUSE, which has now become already , even more successful than, Jimin’s quite successful first album FACE, still charting worldwide! The seven-song LP released July 19, according to a Billboard article, features 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 does have MV, dropped in December of last yr, 9 days after Jimin enlisted in the military, to comfort & reassure army that he will still be thinking of them, & will be back. .) Jimin even mentioned that after finishing his first album FACE which mainly was about what he went through, his thoughts, inner feelings, frustration, even depression during the pandemic, he wanted his MUSE album, which he started working on immediately after FACE, even before, to be brighter,, which is why he chose “SGMB” as the pre release, a way more uplifting, cheerful, happy song. 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. Showcasing Jimin's expanded musical spectrum, "MUSE" includes seven tracks, including the fan song "Closer Than This," has MV, released in December 2023. 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.🙏👍❤‍🔥🔥🐥😍💥🌟💫✨

[@bmstratton44]

He’s incredible 🤌🏼 but to answer your question, I prefer an album with a lot of songs that are b sides, just cause in my side some of my favorite songs of jimin and BTS in particular, are b side tracks! But that’s prob just cause I am always wanting new music from them, that the more the better 😂

[@rokmanreacts]

👏

[@gracielasartori5477]

Me encantó tu reacción y al igual que a ti me sorprendió gratamente Be mine, me encantaría una coreografia 😊😊

[@mariamercedez9163]

If you realize Jimin is still looking for the path his music will take because all the songs he has released are so different, he has been involved in all the songs on his albums and above all in the composition he cares a lot about the message and the feeling he wants to convey, just like the rapline that takes charge very intimately of his albums, Jimin is following that same path and you can see how much fun he has creating and directing his own music. You can see that in the documentaries and videos behind the scenes.He is just finding his way as an artist and I am excited to see what kind of music and performances he will do in the future, especially since his voice is so unique and it is currently very difficult to find artists with such a unique voice.

[@eileencritchley4630]

Track 7 Closer than this is a song to ARMY and talks about their journey with ARMY and that he'll see us soon (after military). Oh yes and he did this album at the same time he did his FACE album. In fact there's lots of behind the scene's of him at PDogg's place writing lyrics, and working melodies out on a keyboard and there's one funny point were he shows PDogg a lyric and says is it ok to say that and PDogg says yes then looks at him as if to say why are you asking me it's your song. They often talking about making their albums and RM and Jimin did a album exchange chat over food talking about their albums their inspirations behind their work, how they worked on them and much more so we are very lucky we get to see and hear a lot of what goes on when they are writing, composing etc and who they are working with. etc etc.

[@maibara1151]

I appreciate your reactions, relying on your expertise as a music producer. I really luv this album which I’ve listened to multiple times since its release. I like it better than FACE, preferring the MVs for Like Crazy and Set Me Free Pt. 2. The biggest positive - Jimin’s unique and lovely vouce❣️

[@maibara1151]

The Rebirth Intro - if you watch the MiniMon interview, RM says after listening to the Rebirth Intro that this was better than Jimin’s whole FACE album! And Jimin was very pleased as it shows his growth as an artist. I like your comments-they are made from your professional understanding of music.

[@garydemers3249]

MUSE... ME and US. You need to see the MV of Closure Than This. It is amazing. Love his album and your reaction.

[@tedkim5771]

Love this

[@eileencritchley4630]

That's normal for BTS albums and solo albums. No politic's about their album they do want they want and work with who they want to work with. They make the decisions they don't sit there and get told what to do like most in the Kpop Industry BTS have complete artist freedom and were told by Bang PD all I ask if you tell your own stories in your music. He once said to RM about one of his creations 'it doesn't sound like you.' RM glared at him and Bang PD said 'but don't let me stop you, you should still produce do it' which of course he did.

Do check out his live performance clip SLOW DANCE with sofia carson, and also live performace clip for The Tonight Show , his vocals is amazing and so stable even when doing hard choreo :)) oh , and also his BE MINE visualiser in english version, its so sensual and sexy :) there's also some behind the scenes video of dance practice and making of MV on BANGTAN TV, they are amazing to watch , enjoy ! :)

[@mimigarcia468]

Es que con Bangtan todas las canciones me parecen increíbles. Todos sus discos están llenos de joyas. No conocen la cara b.

[@forfun2777]

So I completely agree with your ranking except for the fact that slow dance ties with the others in 2nd and 3rd place (interchangeably). Thye just sound so good together and the instrumental is amazing.

[@Jimins_Minion]

Used to not buy albums because I’d only like 1 or 2 songs. But with BTS, all their “B” sides are amazing. Did you listen to their BTS room live? They did a medley of a few B sides. All are aaahhhmazing!

[@rokmanreacts]

Haven't heard the room live yet

The making of this album is since today on YT

[@sharonlahaye5803]

I love the fact that there’s never anything predictable about BTS songs. They never go the way the producers/songwriters expect.

[@lealarsen2017]

i agree you can´t decide i have who at nr 1 for sure, but then i can´t decide on be mine or rebirth as my second. the rest is also good but i think i agree that slow dancing might be my least favorite. it´s fun because another reactor deemed that as his favorite song on the album. it´s so diffrent from people to people but most put who at the first place. it´s just in a leage of it´s own

[@rokmanreacts]

Yeah I am always surprised at which songs become people's favorites I try and learn from it the best I can even when I have my own preference

[@3ama4life]

Slow Dancing LEAST FAVORITE???? What?!!! Take that back RIGHT NOW! 😂

There are so many amazing creators who have done so much music that we all love that we are not familiar with and as the channel grows I'll be bringing more and more of them on here to hang out

I listen to music all day everyday as my full-time job so sometimes my reactions are not as crazy and theatrical as most but this is how I listen to music as myself. Sometimes I'll listen to a project and have lots of thoughts or notes and then other times I listen to something and I just enjoy it but I try and be pretty true to how I react to things. But feel free to check the descriptions in any of the videos or follow my Instagram if you are interested in seeing the music that I've worked on in this industry but I appreciate you checking the video out!
