Here are the artworks Jimin selected:

With this work of art, Jimin reflects on his happiness and self-love and believes “that it is time to tell ourselves that as well.”

I have been more and more attentive to how I feel and what I want, and I finally feel like I’m allowed to be happy.

6. Korean Fan (Unknown)

This fan recalled memories of the time Jimin was able to perform the Buchaechum, the traditional Korean fan dance. According to Jimin, he was able to combine two of his favorite things: dancing and sharing his cultural heritage with the world.

7. Textile Design with Horizontal Undulating Strips of Pearls with Alternating Offsetting Bundles of Pearls and Heart Shapes over a Background of Alternating Overlapping Scales (Anonymous, Alsatian)

The hearts in this piece represent Jimin being able to finally listen to his heart. He is always one to show love to ARMY and share what he knows about loving yourself, so it is nice to know he is taking the same time and consideration for his own happiness as well!
