Media report: "Everyone is talking about the featuring of BTS' Jimin's song 'Friends' in the 'Eternals' Marvel movie"

Ever since the confirmation by Walt Disney Company Korea that BTS' Jimin's self-written, composed, and produced song 'Friends' would indeed be among the soundtracks for the Marvel movie 'Eternals, television media outlets have been reporting about it non-stop. The extent to which media outlets, particularly in South Korea, have covered this development is a clear indication of the magnitude of this achievement not just for Jimin as an artist but also for the South Korean music scene and the country as a whole. The depth of the achievement rests on the fact that this is only the second time in history that a Korean song is featured in a Hollywood blockbuster movie. Jimin is making history as he also places his country on the map of big film production franchises and is thus deserving of all the media attention. With all the attention it has garnered, major news outlets in South Korea are reporting on how everyone is talking about this development, and the news has made headlines everywhere.

On October 31, Korean Channel YTN, one of the channels that has repeatedly aired this news in its broadcasts, reported on 'Friends' written, composed, and produced by Jimin, and performed by Jimin and Taehyung, being featured among the soundtracks in the OST of Marvel Studios film 'Eternals,' and thereby making news headlines.

Similarly, OBS News, another Korean media outlet, also made the same report on October 30, about BTS' Jimin's participation in the soundtrack for Marvel's 'Eternals' as his written, composed, and produced song 'Friends' has been included in it. The reporter highlights the fact that Don Lee, a Korean-American actor, plays an active role in the movie, and that a song that was written, composed, and produced by Jimin of BTS is included in the OST and has drawn lots of attention; everyone is talking about the news.

Multiple television, online, and print media outlets have been continuously reporting on this news.

SBS Morning Wide reported on the news on October 28 and October 19. The feature's segment on the broadcast aired on the 28th highlighted Jimin's involvement in the song's production and the song's message of an honest story about friendship, and further mentioned that fans were highly anxious and anticipating to see the scene in which the song would be played. Earlier on, Newsen, an online media outlet, had reported that confirmation came from Walt Disney Company Korea stating that the song would be played in a certain full scene, and so fans were curious about this particular scene. The broadcast that aired on October 19 also featured the same news of Jimin's self-written, composed, and produced song being included in the OST for the Marvel movie 'Eternals' terming it as a significant milestone.

Another television network, JTBC, also reported on its October 27 news broadcast that BTS's songs are breaking barriers in Hollywood as one of their song's that is written, composed, and produced by Jimin is featured as a soundtrack in a Marvel movie, 'Eternals', alongside other recognizable names on the American music scene, like Floyd and Lizzo. A clip from BTS' Vlive when the members found out about this news from the fans in the comment section is also shown in this segment. The segment even airs an edited picture of Jimin with the movie's cast members. 

Numerous other local media outlets such as Elle Korea, National Defense Daily newspaper, GQ magazine, and an endless list of online news publications like Newsen, Naver, Star News, and Osen, to mention a few, all reported the news and stressed on Jimin's involvement in the song's writing, composition, and production. 

The news has been a hot topic in international media outlets as well, having been published by ABS-CBN, a major Philippine news network, Teen Vogue, News Week, Music Times, Republic World, Global Culture, and many more.

Everyone is indeed talking about Jimin's self-written, composed, and produced song being featured in such a big movie.  Given the weight of this development, it is expected that it will continue to be a hot topic for a long time to come.
