BTS’s Jimin basks in viral popularity for captivating media and non K-pop fans before and after the 63rd Grammy Awards performance

STAR CONTRIBUTOR

BTS’s Park Jimin reaffirmed his titles as the “US Media Darling” and “Recruiting Fairy” after he owned the Grammy’s night with his astonishing stage presence.

On the night of March 14 (US Time), the band gave a powerhouse performance of “Dynamite” on the 63rd Grammy Awards as they performed solo on a rooftop helipad. Donned in flashy outfits and armed with their flawless choreography and powerful vocals, BTS immediately trended as their performance was deemed one of the highlights of the musical ceremony.

As expected, Jimin proved the power of his impact and influence as BTS’s frontman by gathering attention before and after their Grammy performance.

Naturally, US Media Darling BTS Jimin caught the eye of various media outlets and non-KPop fans with his unique vocals, irresistible visuals, and smooth dance moves. Official media accounts were seen using Jimin’s photos and Jimin-focused gifs on their official posts such as Entertainment Tonight, New York Magazine, and E-News to name a few. There are no surprises here as BTS Jimin basks in viral popularity year on year each time they appear on big award shows. Remember the guy in the red suit or the guy in the green jacket? Last night, Park Jimin became a hot topic as numerous locals were seen asking about the guy in the yellow shirt. May it be his vocals, visuals, or his dance moves, BTS Jimin captivated the hearts of the western audience. And that is all in a day’s work for our resident Recruiting Fairy.

Even before their much-anticipated performance, Jimin already cheered the fans by posting a heartwarming message and a gorgeous selca on BTS’s official Twitter account. Jimin said “Everyone, you worked hard to make sure you would be by our side until this hour. Thank you for cheering us on, and it’s because of you that we’ve been able to have such an amazing experience. I sincerely thank you, and I’m happy, ARMY! I love You.”

Immediately, thereafter he trended in South Korea for more than 3 hours with the keyword “Our Jimin” and also ranked #2 on Japan’s Twipple real-time celebrity ranking.

The official account of Twitter Moments Japan tweeted about Jimin’s post and saidDespite BTS missing out on winning during the 63rd Grammy Awards, Jimin’s thank-you tweet to fans becomes the hot topic.

Major news outlets in South Korea like YTN News and MBC have also mentioned Jimin’s comforting tweet during their coverage of BTS’s Grammy nomination and performance.

More than 50 media outlets and official Twitter accounts have mentioned and/or used photos or gifs of Jimin during BTS’s performance at the Grammys and the list is still growing as of the time of this writing.

It includes official Twitter accounts of E! News, Paramount Plus, Extra TV, Wild 94.9, Staples Center, New York Magazine, Pandora Music, 106.1 KISS FM, Variety, Entertainment Tonight, KiSS 92.5, and many more.

Vulture New York Magazine featured Jimin as the thumbnail photo on their article about BTS’s Grammy performance.

Billboard News delivered the news of BTS’s performance at the 63rd Grammy Awards and highlighted Jimin’s bridge on Dynamite and said “Sorry, was trying to think about a time Jimin didn’t kill that part and I’m lost.”

Further, not less than 70 posts and still increasing from non K-pop and non-BTS fans have been reported to be talking about and asking for “The one with the yellow shirt” or “El de camisa amarilla” which refers to the Recruiting Fairy Park Jimin.

Jimin ended the big Grammy day on a positive note. In a message he sent to the fans during their live broadcast, Jimin said “I had so much fun and I was so happy, and it might be a shame that we didn’t get the award, but we started without anything and came all the way here. The Grammy is the most prestigious and biggest award ceremony in the world. It’s a great pleasure to think that we can go to such places. I’m so happy to think about it.”

Today, Jimin is much deserving of his viral popularity not just because of his beautiful and standout visuals, show-stopping dancing and vocals, top-tier stage presence but most importantly his caring and honest personality and affection for the people around him especially his fans. All these are the reasons why Jimin remains to be the unbeatable #1 K-pop Idol.
