Jimin is starting his mandatory military service in South Korea. However, he isn’t bidding farewell to the BTS Army. Instead, he’s extending a touching message of affection, akin to a promise of a future reunion, through his newest solo track, “Closer Than This.” This song symbolizes not a goodbye but an “I’ll see you soon” to his devoted fans.
BTS Jimin Sends Gifts to ARMY and Promises to be Closer Than This
Just in time for the festive season, BTS Jimin has graced us with a beautiful gift as well as a “see you soon” message!
On Friday, December 22, HYBE released the music video for BTS member Jimin’s solo track “Closer Than This” on their YouTube channel. The video spans over four minutes and offers a glimpse into BTS’s decade-long journey.
It begins with Jimin sharing with his team, “This is essentially a fan song.” During the discussion about the track, Jimin remarks, “In those moments, we often say, ‘Baby, don’t worry.'”
Jimin sings, sprinkling references to BTS’ long career throughout his verses.
“Whenever it rains, I’ll remember the times I sang in the rain
Whenever it snows, I’ll cherish how you smiled for me in the snow
On the spring day we meet again, I’ll tell you everything I couldn’t before
My love, my babe, forever by your side
Seven equals one, right, our hearts still beat as one,”
Meanwhile, earlier this month, BIGHIT Music announced that Jimin, RM, V, and Jung Kook would join their group mates j-hope, Suga, and Jin to complete their mandatory military service obligations. BTS is expected to return in 2025.
Therefore, this lyric seems to be the future of BTS and ARMY.
“Let’s sing it together, this song
For the day we’ll reunite again with a pat on the back
Gazing at one another with tears in our eyes
Calling out each other’s names.”
In a subsequent verse, Jimin reflects on his journey with the band and pays tribute to the fans who have been part of this journey, alluding to the early days of BTS’s debut.
“Starting on June 13
To the us of the present, here and now
Even if you’re not here
At the same place, always
I could never let you go
Never let you go.”
“Closer Than This” marks Jimin’s first official solo release since sharing his debut solo album, ‘Face,’ earlier this year. The record arrived in March and featured the popular single “Like Crazy.”
