"I've learned a lot watching BTS Jimin sunbaenim (senior)."

Park Jimin is an idol with an incredible work ethic, impressive talents, and abilities, as well as an admirable personality that attracts many to him. It is no surprise that many young and upcoming idols in the KPOP industry have often chosen him as their role model.

On the 17th of May, idol group VERIVERY appeared on 1theK's 2021 G☆KPOP Concert. The MC asked them where they get their inspiration from and when it was Yoo Kangmin's turn, the vocalist and dancer mentioned Jimin saying, "I've learned a lot from watching BTS Jimin sunbaenim."

In March 2019, VERIVERY's leader and main rapper, Lee Dongheon, posted a dance cover of Jimin's 'Lie' to their official Twitter account. In the same year, Bae Hoyoung, also of the same group, had done a dance cover of Serendipity in January and went on to express his immense love for it.

ENHYPEN is another group whose members cite Jimin as their motivation. Jay, the main dancer, revealed how he got inspiration from Jimin when it comes to doing choreography. According to him, Jimin makes even the toughest choreography look flawless and like a piece of cake.

On the 16th of May, Heeseung, the leader and main vocalist of the same group, sang a snippet of Serendipity during the Border: Carnival video call fansign posted on VLIVE, a testament of his appreciation for it.

Ni-Ki, the group's maknae, performed a superb dance cover of Lie in January of this year. It garnered him a lot of praise. In his May 7th interview with Weverse, he reacted to it, saying that he loved its jazz elements and that it was a song that made him feel better every time he danced to it. He added that his aim was to show a wonderful figure just like Jimin.

BTS Jimin also has the privilege of receiving recognition from the rookie idols of his own agency, Big Hit Music. (TXT) Tomorrow By Together's Heuningkai mentioned that the group drew inspiration for their showcase of their 3rd mini-album minisode1: Blue Hour from Jimin's solo Filter stage. This is because they thought that it would help them better express their stage performance.

Beomgyu, another member of TXT, said he was impressed by Jimin's attitude and stage presence, wherein he pours all of his efforts, performing as if his bones would break. 

In addition, New Kidd's Woochul, an ardent fan of Jimin, is reported to have watched Jimin's live Filter performance countless times, calling it legendary. He was completely fascinated by BTS's blood, sweat, and tears song and went on to do dance covers of Lie and Serendipity.

The list of rookie idols inspired by Jimin does not end there; it includes BDC Kim Sihoon, VICTON Sejun, Stray Kids Hyunjin, ATEEZ Wooyoung, A.C.E Kim Byungkwan, D-CRUNCH Hyunho, CRAVITY Wonjin, ENOi J-Kid, WEi Yoo Yongha, and too many to mention here.

It is evident that Jimin is indeed a force to be reckoned with. Fans are often left amazed and hopeful that his spectacular performances, distinctive vocal ability, and charming personality will get him even more recognition.
