According to the listing, the main theme “who“from Jimin’s second solo album, titled “MUSE”, managed to position itself on the “Hot 100” for the 13th consecutive week, ranking at number 32. “Who” is a mix of hiphop and R&B.
The album MUSE was released on July 19, 2024. The song explores the tireless and almost desperate search for an idealized love, someone whom the singer has not yet found, but who constantly occupies his thoughts and dreams. The lyrics reflect the feeling of emptiness and the hope of finding that special person who always seems to be out of reach.
Jimin uses metaphors and questions to express the frustration and anxiety of not knowing who the person his heart longs for is. The repetition of phrases like ‘We never met, but she’s all I see at night’ and ‘Who is my heart waiting in’ for?’ reinforces the idea of a deep, inexplicable connection with someone you haven’t met yet.
The song also touches on the idea of destiny and the uncertainty of where that person may be. Jimin wonders if it’s someone he sees every day or if he’s thousands of miles away. This duality between proximity and physical and emotional distance is a recurring theme in the song, reflecting the complexity of human feelings and the search for true love.
“Mantra”: an anthem of female empowerment and confidence
For his part, “Mantra«, Jennie’s new solo song, entered the chart for the first time, reaching 98th place. This is a powerful and energetic song, which encourages everyone to shine in their own way, transmitting a message of self-love and mutual support.
Thanks to its catchy rhythm and highly entertaining choreography, the song has quickly gained popularity among K-pop fans.
“Mantra” is a celebration of confidence and feminine power. The lyrics highlight the idea that ‘pretty girls’ have their own mantra, a kind of code of conduct that guides them in their lives.
This mantra has to do with “pretty girls” knowing when to get involved in drama, depending on the day and the situation. The song emphasizes the importance of defending and protecting each other, creating an image of solidarity and strength among women. The song also addresses the idea that although these women may be seen as superficial, they have depth and intelligence, knowing when to have fun and when to take things seriously.
“Mantra” also touches on the theme of freedom and independence. ‘Pretty girls’ are not affected by negative energies or people who try to dull their shine. They live by their own rules, enjoying life to the fullest and not letting anyone ruin their good time. This empowering message is reinforced by the repetition of the mantra throughout the song, creating a feeling of affirmation and self-confidence.
Meanwhile, on the magazine’s “Billboard 200” album chart, the K-pop boy group’s album “ATE” Stray Kidsranked at 88th place, while the album «Muse» by Jimin ranked 97th.
For its part, the new release “Romance: Untold”, by the K-pop boy band Enhypen, managed to re-enter the list last week, ranking in 187th place. This week, the group of young artists managed to climb 38 steps on the list, placing themselves in 149th place.
Romance: untold tells the fantastic romantic story of seven boys who fall in love with “you”, despite coming from very different worlds. Although the boys harbor many secrets, “you” accept them as they are, and together they build a relationship while keeping their identities hidden from the world. “You” represent a special presence that makes kids better people and they are determined to protect this love at all costs, only if “you” say yes.
Until now, Enhypen has established a very unique creative presence in the industry, channeling his emotions through the narratives of his albums. Romance: Untold continues this journey, with all the songs on the album revolving around the theme of boys swearing allegiance to “you.”
