"We worked in Los Angeles, and perhaps due to the city's atmosphere, we created songs with a happy and positive energy." He said he tried to infuse the exciting feelings that come to mind when thinking of a muse into the tracks. "The flow of emotions is reflected in the track order, so focusing on that while listening will make it even more enjoyable." Following the release, Jimin will give his first performance of "Who," on NBC's "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" in a prerecorded taping that's scheduled to air at 12:35 p.m. Tuesday (Korean time).
