The report stated, Jimin received four notices about the seizure by registered mail during the time that his apartment was temporarily seized, and the seizure was lifted on April 22 after he paid the overdue health insurance premiums.
Big Hit Music went on to release a statement about the issue. The statement read, “The company is the first to receive all mail that arrives at the artists’ dorms, and in the process of relaying it to the artist, a portion of the mail was omitted by mistake.
Due to Jimin’s activities abroad starting at the end of last year, his extended period of rest, and his scheduled activities abroad after that, he was unaware of matters such as being overdue. As soon as he found out, he paid the arrears in full, and at present, the situation has been resolved. We apologise for the fact that we have given the artist and fans cause for concern due to our company’s negligence.”
Meanwhile, iTunes has announced that the singer's debut OST ‘With You’ from the drama 'Our Blues' topped the iTunes Top Songs Chart in 100 countries within 4 hours and 44 minutes of its release. This has broken the world record of 8 hours set by BTS's hit song 'Dynamite'. It is also the shortest record in OST history and the shortest record as a Korean solo singer.
