Jimin's Set Me Free Pt. 2 achieves the 100-million mark on YouTube

On July 30, 2023, Jimin's song Set Me Free Pt.2, which is a part of his album FACE, achieved a milestone of 100 million views on YouTube.

Expressing their support and happiness for Jimin’s recent achievement, fans had a lot to say on social media:


Jimin explains the meaning of the song and the inspiration behind it

During an interview with the Consequence publication on March 17, 2023, Jimin broke down the song’s meaning and the inspiration behind it.

“It’s the last track on the album; the last of the emotions. It’s very intense,” the singer said as he described the song.

The singer took the opportunity to explain the meaning behind his first-ever solo song being labeled as “part two,” which may have surprised some of his fans. Many were left wondering about the first part of the song and why he chose this approach.

During his explanation, he also confirmed that the song’s title is a homage to fellow BTS member SUGA’s previously released song Set Me Free. He clarified that there was no direct connection or intentional division between parts one and two; the decision was based on the themes and messages conveyed in each song.

The BTS star’s song focuses on the themes of freedom and moving forward, while SUGA’s song tells stories that precede those themes. Considering this thematic progression, he felt it was fitting for his song to follow SUGA’s mixtape, hence the title “part two.”

Through the song, Jimin expresses a strong desire for freedom and liberation from past struggles and limitations. The lyrics convey a sense of determination and resilience as he reflects on the challenges he has faced and the path he has traveled. He embraces the idea of breaking free from the clutches of the past and moving forward with newfound strength and confidence.
