One year later, BTS was introduced as a new group with 6 members. The group was preparing for their first interview as a sextet.
"Did it ever cross your mind to rename your group, since Jimin has already left?" The host asked.
Namjoon wanted to correct that Jimin didn't leave the group. He knew the truth. He can't be reckless now. He looked at Jin who was so quiet.
"I think Chim would understand. Even if he is not physically with us now, he will always be a part of BTS. He is BTS." Namjoon answered with a smile.
"Do you guys still catch up or talk to Jimin?" The host asked his eyes on JK.
"I don't know with the others. But I do." JK answered with a hint of annoyance. Namjoon grasped JK's leg lightly. When Jimin left the group, JK didn't talk with Yoongi and he wasn't still talking with Yoongi.
There was this incident when they were brainstorming ideas for their next album. Yoongi talked about honesty and authenticity in the lyrics of their song.
"You're talking about honesty and authenticity now? Geeez. How ironic." JK's face with annoyance.
"JK, your mouth. Yoongi is still your hyung." Jin glared at JK.
"He was. But he doesn't act like one. I told him not to hurt Jimin."
"You don't understand, Kook." Yoongi was trying to compose himself. He understood why JK is treating him with contempt. The bond that JK and Jimin have is unfathomable.
"Don't call me that! Starting today, I'm Jungkook to you. And if you want me to understand, tell me why you fucked up Jimin." JK flared up.
"JK, enough!" Jin shouted. His face red of anger.
"No. I wanna know why you dumped him like a trash. Why you treated him so cheap that you have to fuck another? Jimin loves you goddamit! Did you at least even try to fight for him?" Tae held JK in his arms when the youngest started to wail. He cried his eye's out that he was trembling in Tae's arms.
"So what is new with you guys? Aside from the fact that you were seven before and now you are 6?" The host continued.
Namjoon articulated that their new album is entitled Chapter 3:
"We want Armys to fill in the blank with words of our new chapter. It is up to you guys on what word or words you are going to use to complete the title of our new album."
The interview went well and they trended. But somehow, the hashtags Is BTS still BTS without Jimin and Jimin's name also trended. Namjoon told Jin that he is worried of the outcome.

A month after the 13th anniversary concert of BTS in Seoul, much to the surprise of everyone, Jimin showed up in Sir Elton John's Christmas concert in London. The composer asked Jimin to be a guest and sung Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word. His duet with Elton John was given an standing ovation by the crowd. He also sung his own Christmas Love with Sir Elton playing the piano. Half of the song was in Korean and half was in English.
It broke the internet million times. Nobody knew that Jimin had been living in London for the past three years. Fans, who missed the Idol for the past years, went to all social media platforms grateful that Jimin was fine...that Jimin sounds so beautiful. Hashtags of Jimin's sudden comeback trended worldwide.
A week later, British Vogue and and Rolling Stone UK featured him in a 20 page interview. Both magazines were sold out in just a few minutes and the magazines have promised to reprint copies.
