Later Jimin explained he had been practicing the speech since 3am. "Those three-four seconds seemed like 20 years to me. My legs were trembling during the speech. I stayed up all night to memorise that speech," he said. He explained that he got nervous because the audience comprised of dignitaries from all over the world and it had been almost two years since the group interacted with a live audience.
Group leader RM added, "Jimin worked the hardest among us."
