The album MUSE also achieved remarkable success on the iTunes charts, topping the "Top Album" charts in 87 countries and regions, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and France. It claimed the top spots on both the "Worldwide iTunes Album" and "European iTunes Album" charts.

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.
