BTS’s Jimin surprised fans with an unexpected live broadcast from Paris, right after attending the Dior SS26 Collection show as a global ambassador. This was his first public interaction since the recent dating rumours involving actress Song Da-Eun surfaced.

During the live session, Jimin spoke honestly and thoughtfully about the challenges he’s been facing. Although he didn’t mention the controversy directly, he hinted at the difficulties of living a good and meaningful life in the spotlight.

"I’ve been through many things, and I want to keep showing a good side of myself to fans and others. Living life well is not easy. I feel every day that becoming a good adult and living a good life, and dealing with these things are not easy,” he said.

Fans quickly noticed that these words seemed to hint at the struggles Jimin has been facing, possibly referring to the recent personal and public pressures. Many took his message as an indirect response to the dating controversy, appreciating his honesty and vulnerability.

One fan wrote, “His silence must have weighed heavily on him because he's always been honest about sharing his thoughts & feelings with us.” Another added, “This hurt, And I really hated all the people that hated him...It broke my heart to hear him talk like that.”

BigHit Music had earlier confirmed Jimin’s brief relationship with Song Da-Eun but clarified that they had broken up a long time ago. After the rumours, Jimin had kept a low profile.

Besides the message, Jimin also impressed many with his bold blonde and shirtless look at Paris Fashion Week.
