On 21 Feb., Big Hit teased the final concept of Jimin's solo album on its Instagram Stories, writing, "Circle of Resonance. Reflection of vulnerable minds and unexposed wounds. Waves originated from the deepest invisible inner world, pass through the face on the surface and reach others to resonate while transmitting the inner voice. Wave spreads beautifully, finding its own flow despite wounds and distortions from a smallest scratch. The face of unwavering effort despite repeated falls and pain."
Previously in a January 2023 Q&A with W Korea for his February 2023 cover issue, Jimin gave more insight into the concept of his solo album. "It's not something grand or huge," he shared. "Since I am working alone for the first time on an album, I feel a lot of pressure . . . As I experienced the past two years, I put my feelings and thoughts in the album chronologically. It's an album that I can look back on myself, I think? I would like you to think like that."
In a June 2022 Weverse Magazine interview, Jimin revealed what kind of vibes fans can expect from the album. "Maybe I can be just a little more explicit," Jimin said in Korean. "I just think I can show something a little more raw about me. That might include a more mature side, too, but what I'm really interested in is showing something closer to my real, personal rawness directly in a format like music or music videos. By doing so, I think maybe I can show something I never have before."
While Jimin stressed that his thoughts and feelings are expressed well through BTS's group work, his solo album will allow him to get even more honest with his music. "Like, something that shows the things I usually think about a little more honestly?" he said. "You know, some of the older members have already dealt with some darker material on their solo mixtapes. I think I'm trying to do something similar."
His album will explore the emotions he experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic as well. "I'm doing this more for my own sake than because I want to say something to other people," he explained. "Because after a year and a half of the pandemic, I was thinking a lot about how I was a little lost. Once the other members found out about that, they said, 'Why don't you try to make it into music?' And that made me decide I should try and talk about it in my music."
