"Smeraldo Garden Marching Band (feat. Loco)" is a song based on the "Marching Band" played on the march. A hip-hop genre is added to the sound of a big band (a large-scale orchestra), making you feel a vibrant bounce, rhythm, and dynamic atmosphere from beginning to end.

In particular, rapper Loco's energetic and delicate rap, which featured Jimin's refreshing vocals, added charm to the song. Their perfect combination also shines on the track video of the pre-release song. The track video of 'Smeraldo Garden Marching Band (feat. Loco)' unfolds in a beautiful, pure fairytale space, where synergy is maximized in Jimin and Loco's two shots.



Released on July 19, 'Muse' is Jimin's new work, which came about a year and four months after his first solo album 'FACE' was released in March 2023, and tells the story of finding a source of inspiration. Jimin will show an expanded musical spectrum through the seven tracks included in the new report.
