BTS Jimin's apology statement is as follows:

Hello ARMY,

Has everyone been well?

I was able to go to the U.S. [and] I believe everyone is aware of the event that we took part in.

I am grateful, and it is an honor that we were able to participate in this event to let our voice be heard in representation of all the ARMYs of different races, countries, and cultures.

However, I thought I might be so inexperienced to be standing there on behalf of you all.

I'm sorry for worrying you because of my immaturity. In the future, I will do my best to become more mature so that I do not cause [more] concerns.

You must have been worried since I didn't come to visit often. I will come more often.

I always miss you, ARMY.

Although BTS Jimin did not specifically state what he was apologizing for in his message, it is believed that he was sorry for his recent controversy over unpaid health insurance premiums.
