Jimin, BTS' vocalist and main dancer, made his solo debut with the album FACE in March 2023.
The 28-year-old K-pop singer also collaborated with BigBang's Taeyang on the song Vibe, released in January 2023. The track entered the Billboard Hot 100 at no. 76 which, according to Billboard, marked the debut of both singers in the chart as soloists.
Jimin also took center stage with the release of his first solo documentary, Jimin's Production Diary, in October last year.
