BTS' JIMIN is Korea's leading frontman and has earned a reputation as a global icon beyond the pop music world.
Last week, a foreign user on social media shared a game where players had to guess the name of a country using three hints. The hints for "Korea" were "Kimchi, Jimin, and Samsung."
This episode demonstrated JIMIN's global presence and immediately generated positive reactions.
Many netizens commented, "JIMIN of course," "Wow, JIMIN has global recognition,"
With reactions such as "That's amazing," "Kimchi, JIMIN, Samsung let's go," JIMIN, who represents Korea, once again became a Hot Topic.
JIMIN's global influence has continued for the past few years, and an Australian on a YouTube channel wrote, "When I think of Korea, what comes first to me?
In response to the question "Who comes to mind?", one person shouted out JIMIN's name, and in another broadcast, a Japanese person also answered the same question with JIMIN.
JIMIN debuted as a member of the group "BTS" in 2013 and has been attracting overseas fans, especially in the UK and Europe, where he has gained explosive popularity.
With everything related to JIMIN becoming a hot topic, the hanbok and fan dance he showed on stage, as well as food such as tteokbokki, black broth stir-fried noodles, and yuzu tea, have attracted the attention of overseas fans.
With this unrivaled influence and popularity as a foundation, JIMIN plans to debut as a solo artist in 2023 and become a Korean solo artist.
He became the first singer to reach number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, and was simultaneously covered by major global media outlets, making his mark in the pop music world.
Although he is currently serving in the military and has no official activities, the title song of his second album, "Who," has been ranked on the Hot 100 chart for 27 weeks, making it a long run.
IMIN is demonstrating her presence as an icon that promotes K-POP and Korea as a true national pride.
