BTS's Jimin has released an in-depth documentary on the creation of his "FACE" album, garnering attention from media outlets worldwide. On October 23rd, through the global fan interaction platform Weverse, Jimin introduced a documentary titled "Jimin's Productions Diary" that candidly captures his journey to releasing his first solo album "FACE."
Following the release, American magazine People said while Jimin shines as a performer on stage, he radiates differently in this new documentary. They described it as a documentary that remarkably and intimately documents the album production process.
Moreover, they highlighted Jimin's authenticity, noting that instead of his dazzling stage outfits, seeing him in casual clothing, sincerely conveying his story, and striving to find his voice as a composer was moving. Not only with his voice, but he also demonstrated his ability to produce addictive melodies using an acoustic guitar and keyboard.
British music magazine NME in a piece titled "Five things we learned from Jimin of BTS' new documentary 'Jimin's Production Diary'" praised Jimin, who became the first Korean solo artist to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart, capturing the impressive starting chapter of his solo journey. The magazine pointed out Jimin's dedication from the planning stage, where he tirelessly crafted melodies and lyrics that ultimately shaped the album. Noteworthy scenes highlighted include Jimin always dancing while creating music, recording the song 'Alone' in a corner of a room, and seeking advice from colleagues.
"Jimin's Productions Diary" showcases Jimin's collaborative effort with three producers over nearly ten months. The process was filled with seriousness but never lacked fun moments. Jimin's brilliant ideas shone throughout.
Releasing his first solo album after a decade of debuting, 'FACE' captures Jimin's unique voice narrating the challenges, anger, pain, and struggles he faced during the pandemic. The creation diary unveiled every detail of his burning passion for music creation, providing an unfamiliar yet awe-inspiring experience.
In the end, the narrative encapsulated in his music depicts overcoming adversity, resonating deeply with fans. Fans have expressed their admiration, stating sentiments like "a truly magnificent and precious album," "this is the BTS style," "Jimin has produced a masterpiece," and "Jimin is our pride."
Meanwhile, Jimin is preparing for the October 30 special screening of "Jimin's Productions Diary" and a "Special Talk with Jimin". The special talk will be broadcasted worldwide via Weverse Live at 7:30 pm, continuing the emotional journey showcased in the documentary.
