Jimin of BTS brings his solo artistry to New York with The Truth Untold: 전하지 못한 진심, his first solo exhibition in the city. Open from May 31 to June 29 at 30 Wall Street, the exhibition offers a focused look at the themes, visuals, and emotional textures that have shaped his independent music career
This project draws directly from FACE and MUSE, the albums that mark key moments in Jimin’s evolution as a solo artist. With this exhibition, he offers a curated space that moves through personal moments, audiovisual experiences, and hands-on installations. Each section reflects his approach to performance, memory, and connection.
In the section inspired by FACE, visitors encounter distortion mirrors, a large-scale media wall, and installations that echo the introspective tone of the album. These visual choices support the album’s focus on confusion, isolation, and emotional honesty. Jimin includes handwritten notes and behind-the-scenes material that show how he developed the songs and concepts. One display features the actual stage outfits he wore in performances of Like Crazy and Set Me Free Pt. 2, while nearby vitrines hold lyric notebooks and production diaries, never shown before.
MUSE, the follow-up to FACE, focuses on Jimin’s search for inspiration. The exhibition extends that narrative into a more expansive, collaborative atmosphere. Visitors can enter a vintage-style listening room and hear “Who,” the album’s lead track, in a space built to reflect its layered production. Another area, called the message garden, draws from the music video “Smeraldo Garden Marching Band (feat. Loco),” inviting guests to walk through a set filled with symbolic visuals and colors.
Photo zones placed throughout the venue offer interactive moments, allowing fans to experience physical recreations of key visuals. One area mirrors the set design of “Who,” while another reflects the dreamlike mood of “Set Me Free Pt. 2.” A selection of awards and trophies rounds out the space, reminding visitors of Jimin’s presence across both solo charts and global stages.
At the center of the exhibition, a glass case displays a handwritten letter from Jimin. The note addresses fans directly and includes personal thoughts that have never appeared in any public forum. This gesture reinforces the exhibition’s role as a space for direct communication, not just visual spectacle.
An on-site merchandise shop complements the experience with exclusive items made for the exhibition. From limited-edition prints to themed accessories, the retail area allows fans to take home a piece of the project.
Standard admission is $30, with a weekday discount for teens priced at $27. All tickets are available through Fever, the official ticketing platform for the event.
I really wanted to go on this experience, I love Jimin and everything about him is fantastic 🤧
