BTS member Jimin has revealed exciting details about his second solo album, including a tracklist, concept photos, and a teaser video.

On the 27th, Jimin captured global fans' attention with a teaser for the live clip of his pre-release track "Smeraldo Garden Marching Band (feat. Loco)," set to debut a day later. The collaboration with artist Loco has sparked enthusiastic responses, especially for its fairy tale-like setting and surreal ambiance.

The teaser video features Loco seated alone, gesturing towards Jimin and dancing lightly amidst a whimsical backdrop.

Jimin's performance delights viewers with its playful charm, promising an enjoyable experience for both Locco and the audience.

Big Hit Music previously described Jimin's upcoming album 'MUSE' as an exploration of "an expanded musical spectrum."

Unlike his debut solo album 'FACE,' which showcased his solo vocal prowess, 'MUSE' presents a richer sound through collaborations with diverse musicians. Besides Loco, Jimin has also collaborated with singer-actress Sofia Carson, creating unique harmonies.

In 'MUSE,' Jimin explores the theme of 'love,' contributing lyrics to six out of seven tracks and overseeing the production of two tracks, highlighting his growth as a musician.

Fans are eagerly awaiting 'MUSE' not only for its musical content but also for its visual presentation. The first concept photos in the 'BLOOMING' version received immediate positive feedback worldwide upon release.

With his blonde hair transformation, Jimin embodies "the anticipation of love blooming" through deep gazes, delicate expressions, and thematic elements like flowers and guitars.

The live clip teaser released on the 27th further showcases Jimin's expressive talents, promising a cheerful serenade that contrasts with the grand emotions of his previous work in 'FACE,' setting a vibrant and enjoyable tone for the upcoming album.

BTS’s V is creating major buzz in Indonesia once again, and this time, it’s all thanks to his role as a global ambassador for the financial platform SimInvest!

In March 2023, V was chosen as the face of the Indonesian investment platform, and he continues to hold the title for the second consecutive year. SimInvest has seen impressive growth thanks to V’s loyal fanbase, particularly among the younger generation. The platform expressed their delight, revealing that V’s influence has played a huge role in their success.

For 2024, the platform is making an exciting move by adding legendary actor Jackie Chan as a co-ambassador alongside V. SimInvest hopes that this partnership will boost the platform’s appeal even further and help build trust among a wider audience.

To celebrate the incredible growth, SimInvest threw an event in Jakarta from January 16 to 24. They set up a special booth at the MRT station where fans could grab exclusive V-themed merchandise and enjoy free coffee. As expected, the turnout was massive, with fans flooding the station and forming long lines. The crowd was so large that the event had to be paused multiple times for safety reasons, as SimInvest had to manage the growing number of fans. Both the company and the fans were in awe of the overwhelming "V-effect"!

V’s popularity in Indonesia is undeniable. On Instagram, he was recently ranked as the second most influential celebrity in the world—just behind Cristiano Ronaldo. He also tops the search volume charts on Indonesia’s Google Trends for Korean stars.

This isn’t the first time V has caused a stir in Indonesia. Back in 2021, during BTS's ambassadorship with Hyundai Motors at the Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS), a "Hyundai x BTS" photo booth saw V being the most popular member with attendees. Fans couldn’t get enough of the global superstar!

It’s clear that V’s impact in Indonesia—and globally—continues to grow stronger, with fans everywhere eager to show their love for the K-pop icon!
