On February 9, 2022, Jimin took a moment on Weverse to answer a fan who was going through a hard time. His words are a reminder of how much he cares about ARMY.
Jimin said he could empathize with this kind of story to some extent and wanted to offer some words to the fan.
He advised the fan to stop focusing on restarting their life, on hearing certain things from others, or on the impression they give. Instead, he encouraged them to ask themselves: “What about me? What if it were up to me? What is something that I want?”
Jimin said that embracing these fundamental questions helped him focus more on what there is to look forward to in the future, rather than on his difficult past.
He then suggested the fan quit the things that give them a hard time, stop thinking about what others may think of them, and think about something, whatever it may be, that can make them a bit happier.
Describing his advice as “a proposition,” Jimin said he would be deeply grateful if the fan would consider it even just once.
He ended the message by expressing his hope that the fan becomes happier and happier, and his sincere wish that there will be more and more days where they smile.

Full Translation
I think I’m someone who can empathize with this kind of story myself to some extent.
So I have words I want to offer.
Rather than thinking about restarting your life, hearing a certain thing from someone or giving them an impression of who you are, ask “What about me? What if it were up to me? What is something that I want?” I think embracing these sorts of fundamental questions more closely helped me focus my thoughts more on what there is to look forward to in the future rather than my difficult past.
How about we quit the things that give us a hard time, quit thinking about what others may think of us, and think about something, whatever it may be, that can make us a bit happier? In a way this is like a proposition, so I would be deeply grateful if you’d consider thinking about this even only once.
I hope that you become more and more happy and I sincerely wish that there will be more and more days where you smile.
