The Howling's Taki reveals his impression of Jimin + ONEUS members Keonee and HwanWoong cover Jimin's self produced track 'Friends'

From South Korea to the rest of the world, many idols, entertainers, critics, and industry experts are citing and praising Jimin for his artistry and influence.

On the 2nd of July, Ta-ki, a member of the survival group Howling and currently starring in &AUDITION, mentioned Jimin during an interview with S Cawaii! MEN magazine.

In the interview, he said, "If I hadn't met BTS, I wouldn't be who I am. The first live I saw was a performance by BTS, and when I saw the performance of 'BS&T' I wondered why it was so sexy and I could feel its feelings. Jimin is so sexy! I was so impressed that he could dance like this and that there's such a great performance in the world, and everything was fresh." Jimin wrote the melody for Blood, Sweat and Tears, and his performance of it can't be undermined because it is his captivating opening scene that gave him the title 'Master of Opening' by Korean journalists.

&AUDITION- The Howling is HYBE Label Japan's first project and includes four contestants who were selected following their participation in the 2020 Survival Show I-LAND. Ta-Ki is a multidisciplinary dancer just like Jimin, and while his recognition might be expected, his praise of Jimin as a fellow dancer reinforces him as the Idol's Bible and inspiration.

In the same month, on the 10th, members of the upcoming idol group ONEUS also showed appreciation for Jimin through another of his songs. The group's Main vocalist KeonHee and Main dancer HwanWoong teamed up to release a cute cover of Jimin and Taehyung's acclaimed song Friends. The cover, which was acted out to illustrate the beauty of friendship, was shared on the group's social media platforms. It now has 38K views, 8.6K likes, and hundreds of comments.

Hwanwoong had previously recommended the song to fans on his Weverse interview when expressing his friendship with age mate KeonHee. He selected the song as the one you can listen to with a friend you normally hang out with. Indeed Jimin would be proud to see the song he wrote and produced inspiring friendships.

In Argentina, Jimin's masterpiece Lie is receiving a lot of attention six years on. On the Argentinian K-POP dance and song cover YouTube channel Kenchuish, a beautiful dance interpretation of Lie by Spring was shared, garnering praise. In Mexico, Jimin and Sungwoon's With You was immortalized when a video of Pre-schoolers waltzing to it during their graduation ceremony was shared on TikTok by a proud parent. It has since gone viral, amassing 42.7K views, 9K likes, and hundreds of comments and shares.

British Vogue reaffirmed Jimin's status as the Idols' Idol in an article last month where they highlighted his impact as an artist and the It Boy. His songs have been covered by hundreds of idols and respectable artists worldwide, with others claiming him as a role model. These include legendary Figure skating champion Yuzuru Hanyu, NHL Gold Medalists Tim Koleto and Misato Komatsubara, Boyz 2 Men's Shawn Stockman, Professional Ballet dancer Maria Khoreva, Fromis 9's Song Hayoung, and more. Moreover, Jimin is well-loved and respected for his artistry by industry experts and singers. They include Korean American singer Ailee, American singer-songwriter Khalid, English Choreographer and Director Matthew Bourne, and Music Critics Lim Jin Mo and Kim Youngdae, to name a few.
