An exquisite ballet performance! Anniversary celebrations for BTS Jimin's Songs "Lie" and "Serendipity" sweep over the internet

BTS' Jimin is a well-loved Idol, and to celebrate his achievements, fans leave nothing to chance, and for the past two days, his songs have been getting their due appreciation.

On the 6th of September at 12 AM KST, the celebration for the 5th anniversary of BTS' Jimin's first solo song, LIE, kicked off. The song, which was the best-selling solo from the Wings album, saw Jimin express his prowess as a writer and composer at the tender age of 21. The orchestral, dramatic and mysterious piece was a show of musical genius. It peaked at #2 on the World Digital Song Sales Chart and achieved greater milestones on major music charts.

Fans reminisced how his performances were always precise, and though tough, carried out with ease and grace. He garnered praise from professional dancers and singers as well as media outlets, hailing him as a powerful performer with the ability to juxtapose hauntingly captivating instrumentals with lovely vocals to create a masterpiece. 


As a result, the song has ended up being covered by countless idols in the industry. In celebration of Lie's 5th anniversary this year, choreographer and artistic director at the Crescendo Conservatory Christina Valdez posted a ballet choreography created by her. The beautiful routine was shared on Youtube. Christina praised Lie as a gorgeous piece of music for which she had always envisioned creating a ballet choreography, adding that she got goosebumps listening to it for the first time.

The producer for Lie DOCSKIM also joined in on the celebrations as he posted a snippet of Lie's Definitive version to his Instagram account. He had previously released the version on SoundCloud a few months ago, making fans excited.

Fans were obviously not left behind as they trended #5YearsWithLie and #지민아_라이5주년축하해 to show their appreciation, both tags trended at position 5 and 6 respectively on the worldwide Twitter trends. Additionally, the Korean hashtag trended at number one in South Korea and ended up being among the longest trending tags in the country.

On the previous day, fans also had something to celebrate as Serendipity had clocked 4 years. The sweet and critically acclaimed ballad's anniversary was greeted with much activity as fans shared its achievements over the years since it was released in 2017.



The making of the song was revealed through an interview with Rolling Stone, as one where Jimin tried his best to highlight all the nuances of his voice in order to bring out the right vocal expression. For the choreography, Filipino American Brian Puspos said that it was an honor to do the choreography for Serendipity, praising Jimin, who put his own magical flair to it. It is these details that went into making Serendipity a true masterpiece it is today and thus attracted the praise of countless world-class celebrities like Khalid, James Corden, Alan Walker, Maria Canals-Barrera, and Boyz 2 Men's Shawn Stockman. He and other young idols have even covered the song to show their love.

The song has also been hailed for its comforting and healing properties because of Jimin's angelic delivery and is often used as a lullaby for babies. It's been suggested for wedding receptions and also proved to be a favorite for animals as well.

It is for these reasons that fans congregated to celebrate the anniversary with several tags and keywords, #4YearsWithSerendipity, #세렌디피티4주년축하해, and JIMIN OUR SERENDIPITY occupied the top 3 spots on the WorldWide Twitter trends and in 45 other countries. In South Korea #세렌디피티4주년축하해 also trended at #1 along with 5 other related keywords and hashtags, which also took over South Korea's trends for over 24 hours.


Congratulations Jimin!
