Love to fans

When a fan told him, "I hope you have good people around you," Jimin took a sight and replied, "Thank you. ARMY is my friend too." His remark was enough to send his fandom into a frenzy. "I think I've said this before too, but thank you for making a ordinary day that could have just passed by so special, thank you for congratulating me, i received all your hearts/feelings well & hope that mine was conveyed well," Jimin said.

Jimin reveals Taehyung has become skinny

The high point of Jimin's live was when he revealed that V aka Kim Taehyung had lost weight. "I saw Taehyung yesterday, since he was up for recording after me." He had lost weight alot, cause he used to be (bulky) like this. He was working hard on building his body after the military, but suddenly had gotten very skinny, so I asked him 'why'd you lose so much weight?'. And he replied that he chose to lose some cause he also wanted to look prettier for you guys."

Fans express concern over V's new size

Jimin's revelation left fans talking about V. One user reacted on X (formerly Twitter), "I wish they knew that they don’t need to lose weight to fit a certain beauty standard or to look pretty. We’ll accept them and love them at any body size." Another one reacted, "It makes me sad to see that they think they have to be "prettier" for us when they are already beautiful and enough for me. How can we make them understand that we love them just the way they are?" One comment read, "They are already beautiful inside and out. I just want them healthy and happy. That is all they need to do for us. Be healthy and happy." A second one read, "Gosh, but we love them all just the way they are and choose to be."ALSO READ: BTS At Grammys 2026: Can Jin, J-Hope, RM Break Jinx?
