BTS’s Jimin Talks His New Album with Jimmy Fallon

During his appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimin shared more insights into FACE and his solo journey. Fallon praised the album’s depth and emotional intensity, to which Jimin responded that he wanted to create something truly personal for his fans. He spoke about the challenges of working on a solo project, admitting that while it was daunting at first, it allowed him to grow as both a musician and an individual.

Jimin also discussed the making of Set Me Free Pt.2, revealing that the song’s powerful choreography and dramatic instrumentation were meant to symbolize breaking free from inner struggles. Fallon complimented Jimin’s performance, calling it “electrifying” and “mesmerizing.”

In a lighter moment, Fallon asked Jimin about his experience working independently from BTS, to which Jimin humorously admitted that he missed his members but enjoyed the creative freedom of a solo project. He also teased upcoming performances and hinted at potential collaborations, leaving fans eagerly anticipating what’s next.

As FACE continues to make waves on global charts, it’s clear that Jimin’s solo debut is more than just an album—it’s a statement, a story, and a heartfelt connection between artist and audience.

Jimin confidently speaking in English without his team is whole different feeling. I feel like a proud mom watching him coming on to the show all by himself and speak in English. He worked so hard and came so far! His album is amazing and I can’t wait to see what else Jimin has in store for us. We love and support you no matter what.

Comments from the interview

“I’m not a “fangirl” by any means, but I’m well aware of how hard BTS has worked not only in music in their own language and their performances (which are TOP tier), but that they’ve made the effort to learn English is impressive. To see him speaking mostly in English, with like zero grammatical error is astounding. I’m sure the people who follow him closely know more than that but even as a casual enjoyer I can see how impressive this is”

“I started listening to BTS music back in 2015, and I stopped listening to kpop around the time they went big and won the billboard. Jimin looks more confident than ever! Proud is the least I could stay, not only for their achievements, but how they grew up to the great “adults” they are today! love always, ex army”

“So proud of Park Jimin. He is doing great and achieving amazing things with his music. So happy that he premiered Like Crazy in the Tonight Show. He has real chemistry with Jimmy Fallon who has been consistent and sincere in supporting BTS and Jimin specifically. Jimin chooses his words carefully. He is wise beyond his years but also effortlessly funny and warm. Happy for the Armys who got to cheer him. Much love to Jimin”

“Wow I’m so proud of him. He’s having such a metamorphosis as an artist and person. He looks so confident speaking english and he’s so sweet and funny as well. It’s different without the other guys but I am very happy for Jimin and really proud.”

“Jimin and honestly the whole group is so smart, they’re really got it ingrained in them not to make any comments that could influence their fans. When Jimmy asked if he got starstruck by anyone, he mentioned Halsey and everyone knows they have a good relationship. They’re always constantly aware of the power and impact of their words. It’s like they deliberately avoid something akin to the Oprah’s “Golden Ripple” effect.”

“Anyone else get such a strong confidence from him even while speaking in english!? I’m so proud of him being there and having this interview solo. I feel like he is finally seeing how amazing he is!”

“I’m not an army but I love how he takes his time to construct his sentences. I respect his effort in learning the language and learn through these type of conversation.”

“Can we take a minute to appreciate about how compassionate, understanding and patient is Jimmy towards Jimin ? Heart on both of them”

“Jimin took time to say hi to the band and bowed to them. That’s all I need to know he is a good and humble guy.”

“Not a BTS fan but gotta say – these guys just radiate positive energy everywhere they go, respect their fanbase and are downright humble. They don’t deserve even one bit of hate they get”

“We can safely say that jimmy is as equally whipped for Jimin as we all the armies over the world. Just love seeing jimmy’s genuine support for the boys he’s one of the realest and coolest hosts that interviewed BTS, thanks buddy for everything.”

“Jimin confidently speaking in English without his team is a whole different feeling…. I’m crying HE’S DOING GREAT.”

“Loved the Jimin/Jimmy interactions, so happy to see Jimin found a place where he felt comfortable enough in his very first solo american show appearance. Thank you to Jimmy and his crew, respect and kindness are always a two-way street. Purple hearts for you all”

“I feel so proud of Jimin, he is speaking such fluent English in itself is proof of how hardworking he is. Practicing songs and choreography all day and night is a big deal in itself and he still manages to take out his time to learn other languages fluently. (hats off to him.)”

“It’s nice seeing the members doing solo interviews, I love seeing them succeed as they branch out, it shows how BTS isn’t “nothing without each other” as critics want to say”

“I feel so nervous watching this like I’m watching my very own child do his very first interview lol I’m so proud of Jimin- for giving us this wonderful album – what a fantastic piece of work – Like Crazy, Face Off and Alone are going to go many times platinum in my room. Also very proud of Jimin for doing this interview in english. He’s so courageous and he’s come a very long way! I could cry I’m so proud.”

“I really love the fact that even when jimin is answering in korean jimmy is actually listening to him very carefeully and with so much interest even though he don’t understand the language. It just shows that he respects every artist that’s also the main reason that every celebrity feels comfortable with him. Also jimin’s english is sooo cute”

“Wow man, I’m not a regular fan but it feels good to watch Jimin doing a solo interview, speaking english and making music by himself. What a wholesome moment”

“Feliz por Jimin y todo el corazón que ha puesto en su lazamiento como solista. Se debe haber preparado muchísimo para poder venir solito al programa a promocionar. Además me encanta lo amoroso que es Jimmy Fallon <3 lo único que me incomodó un poquito fueron tantos gritos de las chiquillas que no dejaban continuar las preguntas.”

“God, my Jimin is extremely humble and sweet! His spontaneous, genuine reaction everytime the crowd roars, and how he bows very elegantly showing his gratitude melted my heart I am more than starstruck by Jimin’s English!! He’s gotten so much better in such a short time!! Wowww”
