On October 10, Saturday, BTS held their long-awaited online concert, "BTS Map of the Soul ON:E". During their encore stage, member Jimin couldn't help but shed tears as he was giving his final comments.
During his ment, Jimin expressed sadness not being able to perform in front of the ARMY physically with his member due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. He said, "Actually, I was not super focused on the encore performance because there were a lot of things that I felt were unfair before preparing for the concert. When COVID-10 became more widespread, the thing I want to do the most was perform with the members and hang out with everyone and be happy. I don't know why we have to go through this."
He revealed that seeing his members having so much fun caused him to shed tears and apologized to the ARMY for not focusing on their encore performance. "The members were having so much fun and it made me choke up. I have not been able to focus since then, but I am happy that I was able to see everyone like this. Honestly, I am very sorry for not being able to focus as much as I prepared. Thank you so much for sending us so much love through the screen. I do not know if everything we prepared to show has been delivered as well to you, but I hope it was. I am grateful to ARMY for supporting us."
Jimin, ARMY will always love and support you!
