Jimin reveals that in the past, he thought he could take care of all of these problems. However, as he looks backs, he realizes that was not the case. "It has not been that long since I realized that I was the one to grab on and forced everything to happen," he revealed.

It is no secret that BTS is making big bucks nowadays. In 2019, the group ranked 43rd in Forbes' annual list of the 100 highest-paid celebrities, earning $57 million that year. In 2020, they ranked at number 47 and were reported to have made $50 million, and they could have made more had COVID-19 not put a stop to the boy's planned summer stadium tour across the United States that year.
