Jimin has popularly become known as 'South Korea's IT boy' because of the enormous amount of love, support, and admiration that he receives from his home country. It is for this reason that he has set the mind-blowing record of being the first and only idol to rank #1 in the brand reputation rankings for individual boy group members for 35 consecutive months and 37 months in total as of November 2021. Brand reputation ranking denotes a measure of how the public perceives an idol, determining the idol's marketability to the general public. Additionally, Jimin was the first male idol to rank #1 in the now discontinued Gallup survey for 'Korea's most preferred idol' in 2018 and extended the record to 2019 as the only male idol to rank #1 for two years straight. It is evident that he is loved and adored extensively in South Korea, and this is by virtue of his top-level artistry in song and dance, as well as his charming and warm personality. His country people never pass up on the opportunity to show their love and support for him in various ways, 

On January 8th, Todayhouse, an online interior decoration platform, posted a photo of a desktop computer screen that had Jimin's first-ever self-composed song 'Promise,' playing as seen on the screen. This is a song that fans have loved a lot ever since its release, breaking the record for the most-streamed song in the first 24 hours on SoundCloud and now holding the record for the most-streamed song on the platform just three years later. It is easy to see why the song has done so well with such heart-warming support from his fans till now.

In a different instance, on January 9th, the owner of Moonsso restaurant, where Jimin visited and had a meal back in December when he was in Jeju on vacation, posted an autograph that Jimin had signed and left during his visit.

The restaurant owner stated that they were only posting the autograph now out of respect for his privacy since Jimin had said he would be in Jeju for a few more days. The owner further thanks Jimin for visiting and says that they always support him and BTS. This deed by the restaurant owner shows their love and respect for Jimin.

Jimin had previously visited the restaurant last year, and he is one of the many celebrities who have had meals in the restaurant. However, he especially stood out for being the kindest, most caring, and well-mannered. All employees in the restaurant now root for Jimin and BTS because of this impressionable interaction he had with them, and this account of his visit further shows why he is so much loved by the general public.

On January 8th, illustrator Y0ngmini also posted photos of himself at the special Jimin photo zone on Nuwemaru Street in Jeju, where Jimin had visited and caused an influx of guests to the same spot, with the caption "proud to be your fan." 

Previously, artist Kang-sage who painted this special photo zone along with other graffiti artists and illustrators had expressed his gratitude to Jimin for helping to revive the small business in the region following his visit. The mere act of deciding to make a special Jimin photo zone also shows how much they love, admire, and respect Jimin.

Meanwhile, Jimin's fans have continued to visit Jeju and are posting pictures of themselves in the places where Jimin had visited. Here are some of them.

Other fans are posting photos of their visit to the recently held exclusive exhibition for Jimin's custom-made hanbok that he wore for the 'IDOL' performance aired on The Tonight Show back in 2020. The hanbok's designer Kim Rieul had also posted several photos of visitors to the exhibition. 

This was the only hanbok on exhibition despite the fact that the designer had made other hanboks for the other members. Moreover, this same hanbok was also the only one that was initially set to be auctioned as a celebration of the hanbok culture week. 

It is evident that Jimin has a lot of love and support from his country's people and is held in very high regard.

Jimin is a favorite among many for his artistry with his sweet and soothing voice and for his warm and kind heart.
