Jimin attended the “Dior Spring-Summer 2026 Collection Show” held at the Tuileries Garden in Paris, fяαи¢є, on the 1st (local time), as Dior’s Global Ambαѕѕador. Appearing in a simple yet captivating all-black outfit with an unbuttoned blazer, sleek leather pants, and colorful accessories like necklaces and rings, he was surrounded by a mαѕѕive crowd and endless cheers.

The idol also dominated global trends, recording more than 4.8 million mentions on X in less than 12 hours. Both domestic and international media outlets continuously reported on his appearance at the event, and his presence even became a featured highlight on the official Fashion Week website.

After seizing the spotlight at the show, Jimin ѕтяιρped away the glamorous exterior to meet fans with a heartfelt Weverse Live. This marked his first solo livestream since completing his military service, a long-awaited moment for fans.

At the beginning of the broadcast, he mentioned the group’s plans for the first half of the year as well as progress on his solo album: “We don’t have any preparations for a concert yet, but we are working on the album. We will try our best not to be delayed. Now is the time for BTS to return.”

While the overall atmosphere was warm, his tone at times turned contemplative, showing how carefully he chose his words to express his thoughts. Jimin suddenly shared: "I’ve been through many things, and I want to continue to show a good side of myself to fans & many people but living a good life is not easy. I feel every day that becoming a good adult and living a good life, while dealing with these things is not easy".

When Jimin brought this up, many fans connected it to the recent controversy stirred up by actress Song. In fact, this was not the first time he had been unwillingly dragged into a personal life issue — the matter first surfaced in the summer of 2022 and has resurfaced multiple times over the years whenever Song clashed with netizens.

At the peak of this year’s incident, Big Hit Music released an official statement: “The artist and the individual in question were once acquainted with mutual affection in the past, but that was several years ago, and they are not in a relationship at present. We ask that you refrain from making reckless speculations about their private lives. We earnestly request that you also refrain from any actions that could cause harm to the individual who is being mentioned alongside the artist.”

Although he did not explicitly address this matter, his reflective tone and words such as “becoming a good adult” and “living a good life” made fans realize what he was alluding to. Following Big Hit Music’s statement, this was the first time he had sincerely opened up about the issue.

Jimin revealed the clear inner struggle of an idol who must balance personal challenges with the immense expectations of millions of fans. However, he still worried more about his fans even though he was the one most affected. The thought of disappointing or hurting ARMY with his personal controversies weighed heavily on him, leaving him constantly questioning how to become a better person.

It was precisely this sincerity that touched fans’ hearts, making them feel both heartbroken and deeply moved:

- There’s stuff we don’t know & won’t ever. We just have to be thankful that he trusted us enough to even say that. That was brave of him. I understand the whole adulting thing, but I don’t live his life. I’m praying all good things come to him from now on

- I hope Jimin knows that what happened is not his fault, Army didn't even mad with the news, we only care about him being happy and healthy

- I hope jimin knows that army was not mad AT him but mad FOR him because real army don’t care about things like that. We just want him to be happy and healthy

- Praying that he finds his peace and always be happy. I can imagine that adulting in their world of fame is 1000 times more difficult. May he always be protected from bad things.

- I wish he wasn't so hard on himself, and understood that he can't do anything about the crazy ppl around him. I love him so much.

- It is so hard to see him like this because he would be one of the people who deserve to live a long and happy life. We won’t be able to protect him from every harmful thing, but I would love him to know that he has ARMYs always right beside him who would grow old together.

- Oh no. I hope whatever he is going through endis . Hope all his sadness and hardships comes to an end . That man only deserves happiness and alot of love

- We don’t know how much he has gone through. It’s even hard to move on when crazy people are out there. I hope you try to move on, Jimin. We love you and support you

- Even after everything he has been through and so much more he is still so gentle and polite and loving. There are things we don't know but still hearing this from him makes me so emotional and love for him grows deeper. I love him so much
