A representative from Jimin’s agency Big Hit Music said the K-pop artist will “perform about two songs” in music shows following his upcoming solo debut. This came from a follow-up report from the Korean media outlet Star News.
Reports of the BTS member’s solo release emerged as early as January 2023. Meanwhile, details about his debut’s concept, exact release date, and songs are yet to be revealed, as of this writing.
Before his debut, he recorded the single With You with Korean soloist Ha Sung-woon in April 2022. It was released as part of the K-drama Our Blues soundtrack. He also participated in a collaborative track Bad Decisions, alongside bandmates Jin, V, and Jungkook, with American rapper Snoop Dogg and U.S.-based record producer Benny Blanco in August of the same year.
Earlier this year, Jimin was featured in the R&B single Vibe with BigBang’s Taeyang — which he considered as one of his favorite artists even before debuting as a member of BTS.
