The title track 'Who' is a hip-hop R&B song that conveys the emotions of longing and confusion about someone he has never met. Jimin was deeply involved in the album, contributing to the creation of six out of the seven tracks and producing two of them.

In related news, Jimin will release his content series 'Exchange Album MMM (Mini & Moni Music) - Jimin' on the team's official YouTube channel at 5 p.m. on the 20th. The video features RM and Jimin discussing and listening to MUSE in advance.
