BTS’ Jimin has released a new digital single titled ‘Closer Than This’.
The track from the K-pop boyband phenomenon is dedicated to the group’s fans and the music video was unveiled on Friday. (22.12.23)
It came after an announcement earlier this week the song was on the way, with Big Hit Music saying the song would convey Jimin’s “love and affection for his fans”.
The accompanying music video opens with a behind-the-scenes clip where Jimin brainstorms lyrics for the track.
Later, there is a montage of BTS meeting fans and at concerts.
Jimin sings in the chorus of the track: “’Cause anytime you want me (I’ll be), Right here where you call be (I’ll be), I could never let you go, never let you go, Whenever you need me (I’ll be), If you believe me (I’ll be), I’ll never let you go, never let you go.”
The release of ‘Closer Than This’ comes just over a week after Jimin enlisted for his mandatory military service, alongside his bandmate Jungkook.
They were the last of the boyband to enlist, with all seven BTS members now serving their military terms.
Before enlisting, Jimin made his debut as a soloist in March with his debut album ‘FACE’.
Earlier this week, HYBE and Disney+ premiered their new BTS docuseries ‘BTS Monuments: Beyond the Star’, which is a 10-part series following the band’s journey.
One of the band’s highlights this year included being namechecked by King Charles on a visit to South Korea, during which the monarch joked he regrets not developing the “Gangnam Style” dance.
The monarch made the gag as he was joined by Queen Camilla and Catherine, Princess of Wales at a banquet in Buckingham Palace featuring South Korean pop stars.
Charles spoke briefly in Korean during his address, and compared the success of British export James Bond and Beatles to Korea’s Squid Game TV show – which became a Netflix smash – and K-Pop boyband BTS.
