TS’ Jimin’s new solo album surpassed 600 million streams on the biggest streaming site in the world. “FACE” is Jimin’s first ever solo album that was released on March 24, 2023. The album explores “themes of loneliness, wrestling with oneself, and finding freedom” and was significantly influenced by the emotional toll that the COVID-19 pandemic took on Jimin as a person and performer.
“FACE” was supported by two singles: the lead song “Set Me Free Pt. 2” and its supporting music video came out before the album on March 17, and the second single “Like Crazy” and its accompanying music video debuted at the same time as the album.
The album “FACE” debuted at number one on the Circle Album Chart after breaking sales records on its first day, selling over 1 million copies, and in its first week, reaching 1.45 million sales, making Jimin the first solo artist in Hanteo Chart history to do so. It topped the charts for Oricon Albums, Digital Albums, and Hot Albums on Billboard Japan in Japan. Jimin is the first solo artist to enter 2023’s Oricon album charts at number one. Face became the highest charting album by a South Korean solo artist in Billboard chart history when it debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200.
