As we celebrate Park Jimin’s birthday on October 13, it’s the perfect time to look back on the songs that have captured his journey as an artist. From raw emotions to introspective storytelling, he has given us something new with each track. Each song showcases a different side of Jimin. He could be the perfectionist performer, the tender vocalist, or a deeply reflective artist.
Here’s a look at his most iconic solo works, ones that define Jimin’s artistry.
“MUSE” (SOLO ALBUM) - 2024
It was truly amazing to see Jimin drop another album after 'FACE.' This one was completely different and showcased a different side of him. You get to see a more mature version of Jimin, with the songs in the album, exploring the theme of love. His charismatic and confident side in the MV for the title track, 'Who', was indeed captivating.
“FACE” (SOLO ALBUM) - 2023
With 'FACE', Jimin stepped fully into his identity as a solo artist. The album explores themes of self-reflection, freedom, and healing through music. Each track blends vulnerability and power, showing his evolution as both a musician and storyteller. The lyrics are raw, where Jimin does not hold back in sharing his inner emotions.
“WITH YOU” WITH HA SUNGWOON (OUR BLUES OST) - 2022
While it is not a solo song but a duet with his good friend, “With You” had to be mentioned here as both Jimin and Sung Woon sounded heavenly in it. It was released as an OST for the drama, ‘Our Blues,’ and tells a sorrowful story of a failed relationship. The pain and emotions this song can invoke in a listener are beyond appreciable.
“FILTER” (MAP OF THE SOUL: 7) - 2020
The performance of this song was unforgettable — from “Serendipity” to this, it perfectly captures Jimin’s evolution and duality. With its Latin-inspired beat and playful yet alluring lyrics, he embodies multiple personas on stage. Bold, seductive, and slightly mysterious, the song feels tailor-made for Jimin’s artistry and stage presence.
“PROMISE” (SOUNDCLOUD RELEASE) - 2018
He wanted to gift the fans something that year, and this is how he fulfilled that "Promise." What a beautiful start to the new year it was. Written and composed by Jimin, the song feels like a heartfelt letter to fans. Acoustic guitar, comforting lyrics, and soothing vocals, what more do you need?
“SERENDIPITY” (LOVE YOURSELF: HER) - 2017
What we got with this track was something so delicate and beautiful. The vocals are soft and gentle enough to make you enter a calm world, even if for a minute. The song’s delicate tone and his warm voice perfectly blended to give us a beautiful track. Pair it with the concert performance, and you have magic.
“LIE” (WINGS) - 2016
Jimin’s first solo song under BTS. This track is intense, dramatic, and unforgettable. With haunting orchestration and high-pitched emotion, it portrays a desperate struggle between truth and self-deception. His delivery, which is fragile yet fierce, makes it one of his most captivating solo songs.
