Everything to know about BTS Jimin's first solo album 'FACE'
Jimin, a K-pop sensation and member of the boy band BTS officially announced the details of his first-ever solo album on Tuesday. This news comes after Jimin got fans hyped up by hinting at the release of his upcoming album during a Weverse live broadcast that took place earlier this month. Titled FACE, the album is set to be released on March 24.
Why does this story matter?
To note, in June 2022, all seven members of BTS announced that they were going to take a break from group releases, and in the meantime, will focus on their solo careers, apart from completing their mandatory military service. Since this announcement, all members have been exploring solo projects. Jimin, at last, has announced his first full-length solo album.
'FACE' is all about Jimin facing himself head-on
The announcement was accompanied by a 35-second teaser featuring ambient music along with water droplets falling into a black ocean to eventually form the album's title. In a Weverse post, the solo effort is described as being about "Jimin facing himself head-on as he gets ready for his next step as a solo artist." For now, no tracklist or initial single has been announced.
