Jimin's plans
Jimin earlier spoke about his music plans and aspirations
In an interview last year, Jimin chalked out his plans for the kind of music he wishes to work on.
"I think I can show something a little [rawer] about me. That might include a more mature side, too, but what I'm interested in is showing something closer to my real, personal rawness directly in a format like music or music videos," he said.
