ARMYs were shocked to see “Smeraldo” mentioned in Track 4, “Smaraldo Garden Marching Band (Ft. Loco),” as the Smeraldo flower was introduced in the BTS Universe in 2017.

Others were amused to realize the long phrase in the crossword was “Smeraldo Garden Marching Band.” A crossword challenge was released via ARMY exclusive Instagram broadcast channel. 

While some ARMYs struggled to decode this, others realized Jimin had spoiled this title long ago. In the 2023 doc [Jimin’s Production Diary] Quiz Show, Jimin revealed that he and his producers referred to themselves as the Smeraldo Garden Marching Band while producing FACE. 

Additionally, MUSE might have been in production for a long time. Two years ago, Jimin shared a photo of himself with the producers, including Tommy Brown (also known as TBHits). Tommy Brown was listed as one of the producers of “Smeraldo Garden Marching Band.”

Before the tracklist reveal, Jimin had also previously hinted at BTS’s “The Truth Untold.” So, clearly, the new song is connected to this BTS era.

Jimin has been continually dropping hints!
