In 2020, the world was in the middle of a global pandemic and by October most of us had spent months cooped up in our homes under strict curfews only permitted to leave the house for food, exercise or medical treatment. The pandemic torpedoed BTS's plans to undertake a world tour to promote Map of the Soul: 7. It was a difficult year for them and Jimin has spoken of his personal struggles to come to terms with this sudden change and the uncertainty over the future that this brought with it.
On the 10/10 and 11/10 BTS held on-line concerts for ARMY. At the end of the concert on the first day, Jimin was suddenly overcome with emotion. Through his tears he explained frankly and honestly the frustration he felt at not being able to perform and the memories that had come flooding back to him of previous concerts as he stood on stage in front of a sea of monitors filled with ARMY faces. He expressed the incomprehension of what had happened that we all felt at one moment or other during those horrible months.

He spoke about this later in a Vlive.

Despite these feelings welling up every now and then, in many ways it was a very successful year for Jimin and BTS.
Dynamite was released in August and was immediately successful in South Korea and around the world. They performed it at the VMA in September and also at the Billboard Music Awards on the 14/10 where they also won Top Social Artist for the fourth consecutive year.

Jimin's birthday was obviously celebrated in a less public fashion than previous years. There were still messages from the members including this video from JHope.
And Jimin thanked everyone for their birthday greetings with the following photos sporting the essential pandemic accessory.
Big Hit's photos from this year include the following:
Cuando recuerdo que la gira de MOTS: 7 fue cancelada, por la situación que ya conocemos, mi corazón se rompe en mil. Map of the Soul: 7 es mi álbum favorito y ver todo ese potencial que entregan en cada escenario, solo así reconfortan mi alma.
