BTS Jimin Addresses Breakup Controversy in Paris Live: "Being a Good Adult Isn't Easy"
Singer reveals BTS comeback timeline while opening up about personal struggles during Dior Fashion Week appearance
BTS member Jimin broke his silence on a recent relationship controversy during an unannounced livestream from Paris on October 2, offering fans rare insight into his emotional state while confirming the group's highly anticipated return in early 2025.
Dior Fashion Week Draws Thousands
The K-pop star attended Dior's Spring/Summer 2026 show at Jardin des Tuileries on October 1 as the brand's global ambassador, where thousands of fans waited hours in the sun, erupting in cheers upon his arrival. Following the show, Jimin stayed behind after other guests departed to personally greet waiting fans from the venue's front steps.
Comeback Confirmation and Album Update
Broadcasting from his hotel room before his return to Korea, Jimin addressed questions about concert plans, stating he's currently focused on album production rather than performances and urged patience as BTS prepares their comeback.
Discussing the upcoming release, he expressed anticipation while keeping details minimal, noting the project holds special meaning for all members and sparked his curiosity about fan reactions. He assured supporters there would be no extended breaks moving forward and mentioned maintaining fitness through running and diet modifications.
Personal Reflections After Privacy Incident
The livestream followed BigHit Music's August statement confirming Jimin and actress Song Da Eun had dated years earlier but are no longer together, issued after videos surfaced that raised privacy concerns among fans.
Addressing his current mindset, Jimin acknowledged the difficulty of maintaining a positive public image, admitting that living well isn't straightforward. He shared that navigating adulthood and making sound life choices proves more challenging than anticipated, describing himself as still learning to mature properly.
Despite these challenges, he committed to continuous improvement and promised to keep delivering quality content to supporters.
Message to Supporters
Closing the broadcast, Jimin asked fans not to worry about him and emphasized their health and happiness matter most, promising to return quickly with prepared content.
The candid conversation resonated globally with supporters who appreciated his authenticity during a challenging period. With all seven BTS members having completed mandatory South Korean military service by June 2025, the group now enters a new phase, making the upcoming comeback their first full group activity in nearly three years.
