My little breakdown in the interview had everyone in a state of pure shock, except me. I have seen reaction videos on youtube to the clip and comments from netizens and industry professionals.

to recap what I said, word for word "im going to be honest, if you list them all we will be here for some time and i have 4 more photoshoots to do for this magazine and you seem to have about 50 more questions and we have only planned out 40 more minutes for the interview. so let me save you some time [ i sat upright]. Me and Jungkook are good friends and have become very distant because of the irrational dating rumours. Taehyung and I haven't spoken to each other since saying hello to each other at the Diamond Foundation party because he is somewhere in Mexico filming something. Jimin and I rarely see each other now because both of us are so busy. Last I heard of Namjoon ....he was....at some museum? and right now we only have time to contact each other to prepare for his album's debut. Hoseok is rarely ever in the same country as me at the same time so if I even get to see him, it's a miracle. Yoongi is never in the same building as me because he is constantly working or producing or filming or something and our schedules never match. Im not even going to mention Jin because he recently enlisted and before that, I rarely saw him. As for EXO's Kai , I think the last time I saw him was....oh god I don't even remember. I have never spoken to Cha Eunwoo of Astro in my life and all i know about him is that we have mutual friends but we live our own lives and we do not care about each other in the slightest. As for Park Seo Joon, i remember hearing that rumour and laughing because I have spoken to him a total of 3 times and each was with Taehyung because i have no personal connection to him "---"With my horrific trust issues, commitment issues and inability to love or be loved...trust me, dating is not on the table and it seems like it never will be. What was the most recent scandal- ah yes - the photos. Well...at least I look pretty in the photos." Then my stupid brain continues to say "You are more than welcome to publish that and post the video of it, but i must say all these rumours and scandals are as entertaining for you and the wider public as they are for me. I wish I did have a boyfriend and was 'recently engaged' as an article said yesterday...but i am not. now then, you wanted to ask about how I write songs ?"

Funny thing is, what I said wasn't even that true. Jungkook and I have become awkward when it gets mentioned, but not distant. Taehyung and I have stopped talking to each other since our last few arguments and we have become distanced. Jimin, Namjoon, Hoseok and I couldn't be closer and we text a few times a day and see each other at least once every 2 weeks. As for Suga, he is running around doing this and that but we still find time to meet up. Jin texts me whenever he can and I respond as soon as I can.  The last time I saw EXO's Kai was at a party ...my diamond foundation party and we spent like an hour talking about changes in the industry and this random PD we hate. I had actually spoken to Cha Eunwoo before but it was just us saying hello and then not saying anything beyond that...So they were half-truths...but my argument was valid.

the PR team were near meltdown stages when the clips went viral and I just said: "let it be, it doesnt even matter". As for the idols who were named and saw it , they messaged me privately to say that they were happy that i stood up for myself and for them.

the immediate aftermath was scary, but after a day or two, the TikTok edits came rolling through and i went viral for being "iconic"...then it was just more videos and edits of me going viral.

With this, Calvin Klein used the moment to capitalise on the shoot photos. There were billboards everywhere, absolutely everywhere. Times Square, Picadilly Circus, Seoul, Tokyo, Shanghai, Dubai....just fucking everywhere.

My name has not gone a day since the photo leaks without it being the most mentioned thing on the internet. Today, It is December 21st and it's the Chrome Hearts Collaboration release. I have spent hours redoing the speech and perfecting the details. There are parties in a few of the stores across the world: Seoul, Tokyo, Paris, NYC, LA, Las Vegas, Beijing and Hongkong.
