Jimin's recent appearance on Mini & Moni Music

The BTS leader RM made his comeback with the album Right Place, Wrong Person on May 24, 2024. A day later, Jimin made a surprise appearance in the video titled Mini & Moni Music, where the two members shared insights on music, personalities, and difficulties they faced in their careers together, among other topics.

Jimin described RM's second album, Right Place, Wrong Person, like a daily life journal where he could feel all the raw emotions shared by the Indigo singer.

“When I heard the album, I was just like a diary, 'I have a lot on my mind, and I feel a little suffocated,'” Jimin said.

Moreover, as the two spoke about RM's leadership, Jimin appreciated his efforts towards his duties and also acknowledged the difficulties he faced.

“I just know he was going through a hard time, and the weight of being the leader of BTS is something I can't even imagine even though I'm right beside him,” he said.

Mini & Moni Music is available on BANGTAN TV, the official YouTube channel of the group.
