In addition to his releases, Jimin has made significant contributions to other projects. His work on the Fast X soundtrack with the track Angel Pt. 1 (Feat. Jimin of BTS, JVKE & Muni Long) and the pre-release track from MUSE, Smeraldo Garden Marching Band (feat. Loco), also secured spots on the Hot 100, at #65 and #88, respectively.
