Jimin shared his honest feelings after rumors regarding his private life were finally settled.
On October 1, Jimin held a live broadcast on Weverse to communicate with fans. He provided and update on his efforts for a full-group comeback, saying "I don't have preparations yet, so I'm currently working hard on the album. I'm very grateful. I've also been running diligently and dieting."
He raised anticipation for the upcoming album, saying "I'm looking forward to it. I'm currently working hard on this album, I'm really curios about how you all will feel about it. I shouldn't give up too much spoilers, so I won't say much. I think it will be an album that we all treasure deeply."
Regarding his discharge from the military service, he added, "I missed you all so much. I'm so happy to be able to come back after a long time. Now that I've served in the military, there won't be long breaks like that anymore. I have to keep preparing so that the album comes out next year and I'm able to meet you all. I must continuously show you all a good side of myself. I'm curious how you all will react and feel when the album comes out in the future. I'm constantly waiting for the day we meet."
In particular, Jimin indirectly expressed his feelings about the recent controversy regarding his private life, saying "It feels so good to be back. I missed you more than anyone. A lot of things have happened, but I always want to show a good side to fans and people in general.. But living life well isn't easy. As I live, I realize that being a good adult and living a good life are not easy to do."
He added, "That's right. I just need to do well. I have to do well. Becoming an adult is not easy, I'm just imitating an adult. Anyway, I will continue to live well while showing a good side of myself, and try harder to show it. I wanted to talk about that after coming after a long time. Thank you so much for speaking kindly to me."
He concluded by saying, "It was nice meeting you all after such a longtime. I wll quickly prepare various things so that I can show them to you all. I love you all. Don't worry about my health. I hope you all stay happy and healthy. You don't have to worry about me. Thank you so much for today. Thank you for watching. See you in Korea."
Jimin previously was involved in dating rumors with 'Heart Signal 2' cast Song Daeun for several years. Recently, Song Daeun posted a video suggesting her private meeting with Jimin, reigniting their dating rumors. In order to respect the other party's privacy, Big Hit Music broke their silence and issued their first ever official statement regarding this matter.
Big Hit Music stated, "The artist did have a connection with the other part in the past. They had mutual interest, but that was years ago. They are not in a relationship now." They also added, "Please refrain from reckless speculation about their private life. We also sincerely ask you all to refrain from actions that could harm both the artist and the other individual mentioned."
-What's wrong with his way of speaking? He's in his 30s and has finished his military service, yet he says being an adult is not easy?
-I'm flustered...
-His way of speaking is so freaking weird.
-Ugh... Please just stay quiet.
-I used to like him back then... But now I see what kind of person he is.
-Classic avoidant. His way of speaking is so weird, there's just no substance.
-I wish his ex-girlfriend happiness and success.
-Whoa... I've lost al my respect for him.
-If you're in you 30s and have finished your military service, you're basically fully an adult.
-What's with the photo, though?? Was it intentional?
-I'm not even a fan, but I think the hate comments are crossing the lines...
-Has he always been that avoidant?
-Legendary avoidant Hannam. I feel so... So... Sorry for the woman.
-Honestly, does he really deserve that much hate just because of this?
-I feel sorry for the woman. She's been dragged through this for years.
