Park Jimin is an idol whose exponential popularity continues to be cemented even with little to no activity on social media platforms.

As the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics drew to a close, Jimin illustrated why he is often called the GLOBAL IT BOY. During a Curling event on the 14th, Jimin made an appearance in the most creative of ways. Fans were quick to notice that the Japanese female Athlete Kotomi Ishizaki was indeed a great fan of Jimin after spotting that the cover of a book she was reading while sitting near the court had a sticker of Jimin from the BTS Dynamite MV where he wore denim bell-bottoms and the famous green Gucci bomber jacket, looking like the perfect disco-pop heartthrob.

In another photo posted on Japan's Curling Team official Instagram account, Ishizaki was seen having a Jimin character keyring from the BTS x McDonald's collaboration merchandise released in June last year.

Fans who saw this could not contain their excitement, and their reactions were full of pride for the recognition that Jimin was getting.

On the 8th Japanese media delivered an analysis of Jimin and Yuzuru Hanyu, who are legends excelling in their chosen fields and praising each other's techniques. The Olympic gold medalist figure skater has previously expressed his admiration for Jimin and praised him, saying: Jimin is so flexible, slender, and has delicate body lines that make his technique even more fascinating. I'm learning cool moves (like Jimin's) not only from the skating field but also from outside skating.

A good number of athletes and sports stars continue to show their love and support for Jimin. These include Canadian figure skater Roman Sadovksy, Short track gold medalist Lee Yubin, Pro golfer Oh Jihyun, Soccer stars Toni Kroos, James Rodriguez and Son Heungmin, Basketball empress Park Jisoo, Brazilian Volleyball player Douglas Correia and more. Jimin's cameos are limitless, and they range from making appearances in Korean dramas, TV & reality shows worldwide, school books, novels, sports events, and more.
