As part of the photoshoot’s promotions, Vogue Korea released a short clip with footage of Jimin posing in different outfits, styling, and settings.

What’s piqued the most interest, however, is the audio of Jimin reading an excerpt fully in fluent English.
My Dear,
February lies quiet upon the days, and I find my thoughts returning to you.
Happy Valentine’s Day. What I feel is not loud; it is steady. Love, to me, is simply this: to hold you in the heart, with constancy, in presence and in absence ailke.
Much love, Jimin.
— BTS’s Jimin

It’s not the excerpt’s romantic content that’s drawn attention, but Jimin’s fluency instead.

The audio has sparked debate among fans, some of whom claim it was enhanced using AI and that it is not Jimin speaking. Others condemn these accusations and allege that it is indeed Jimin, even though you cannot hear his accent.
