"I've Cleared Away All the Knots and Feel at Ease and Happy" At the time, Jimin added: "Compared to who I was before, I think my heart has grown a little bigger. You could say I've emptied out a lot of what was inside, and having cleared away all the knots, I feel really at ease and happy." On this, the Economic Times conveyed: "The more we forgive, heal, and let go of negative emotions, the stronger and lighter our hearts become, and the more open we are to happiness." "Sincerity and Emotional Truth Inspire Across Generations" The Economic Times introduced Jimin as an artist who has shown outstanding expressiveness and emotional vocals, and as one of the influential artists in contemporary pop music.

The Economic Times emphasized that "Jimin's journey shows that authenticity and emotional truth can inspire people across cultures and generations." It added that "Jimin's words remind us that true strength is found not in holding on to every wound, but in the courage to let it go," and that "a bigger heart belongs not to one who holds greater pain, but to one who has learned how to leave the pain behind."
