Awh the 1st thing Jimin addressed when he went on live just now was his knuckles. I was right, he got that from doing workouts. He must have felt sorry cuz people were worried it can be seen when he's doing interviews at the event today. He didn't fight 🥲 https://t.co/I6eRIOlp3N pic.twitter.com/aM5mbaZSze

Offering fans a more intimate peek into his life, he gave ARMY rare glimpses of his home, highlighting the new mood lights he's installed. He shyly admitted that he felt embarrassed to buy mood lighting when he was nearing 30 - but fans love BTS was their refreshing embodiment of masculinity for exactly this reason. When questioned about a 'secret room', he gleefully revealed it as his workout space, equipped with various apparatuses, including a telling punching bag - affirming fans' speculations about the origin of his bruises. This transformation into a gym was a response to his parents' comments on his apartment's bare aesthetics.
Demonstrating his sentimental side, he displayed a cherished group photo and a banner from a past concert, underscoring his profound connection with both the BTS group and their fan base. He also talked about how he had been diligently working on some new music, terribly missed ARMY and enjoyed interacting with them again at the Dior event since it was after a long time that he made a public appearance. Jimin shared a cute anecdote about his clumsiness during the event. He was so excited to see ARMY that he prepared a small chant and wave - he opened the door fully charged and ready to greet fans - only to find that nobody was there! In his enthusiasm, Jimin had accidentally opened the wrong door. Manggae things only!
