Mobile terminal and method for outputting image

A method for, and a mobile terminal configured for, outputting an image together with a background sound are provided. The method for outputting an image in a mobile terminal comprises the steps of setting at least one image and a corresponding background sound, and detecting when a user selects an image for which the background sound was set and outputting the selected image and the corresponding background sound simultaneously. Since the background sound is played simultaneously with the display of the wallpaper, it can satisfy the user's demand for distinctiveness and expression of individuality.
