BTS's Jimin Reveals How Making A Lot Of Money At A Young Age Affected Him

In an interview with Weverse Magazine, BTS‘s Jimin opened up about having felt empty and unstable in the past.

When asked what made him feel that way, he attributed the feelings to the problems he faced—the root of which was fame and fortune. He revealed that after he started earning a significant amount of money, he often thought about the meaning of money and success.

I’m still young, and because I’m making a lot of money at a young age, I end up wondering what money and success ultimately mean.

It was common for him to encounter jealous and envious people. At the same time, he also acknowledged that there were many people he was indebted to.

Because I’m young, I hear a lot of people talk, and some people can be jealous or envious. But there are a lot of people I have to repay and a lot of relationships I need to hang onto.

Now that he looks back on those problems, he realizes that he couldn’t actually handle all of them. He believes that he was the one who “forced everything to happen.”

I thought I could take care of all these problems, but looking back, that wasn’t the case. It hasn’t been very long since I realized that I was the one to grab on and forced everything to happen.
