On July 22, 2024, BIGHIT MUSIC kicked off a week-long pop-up event for Jimin's “MUSE” Smeraldo Garden at 24 Gwangpyeong-ro 34-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. This special event, running from July 22 to July 28, 2024, celebrates Jimin's second solo album, MUSE.
As fans began to visit the pop-up, pictures and videos of the beautifully themed venue started circulating online. The pop-up event's theme was heavily inspired by the album's pre-release track, "Smeraldo Garden Marching Band."
The decorations, featuring white, blue, and yellow hues inspired by the album, are meant to create an immersive experience for attendees and add to the excitement and anticipation surrounding the artist's latest release.
A user on X, @PJM_data, reposted some pictures and expressed their desire to attend the event in person. They wrote:

The event features a wall where fans can leave messages for the Serendipity singer. The wall is adorned with lyrics from the tracks displayed in neon signs similar to those in the music video for the title track, Who.
