BTS's Jimin wins over skeptics and press on world tour

Two separate publications. Same day. Same conclusion after watching BTS live in London.

The Guardian reviewed BTS's performance at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on July 7 (local time). By the end of the night, the reviewer had found their favorite member: Jimin. Vogue Korea ran a piece the same day under the headline "Confession of a former BTS skeptic," and its author was equally direct: "I fell especially hard for Jimin."

The pattern is showing up on Korean TV too. Actor Jang Ga-hyun appeared on TV Chosun variety show Perfect Life and said she watches multiple Jimin videos the moment she wakes up, still in bed. She became a fan through BTS's Gwanghwamun comeback stage.

(Three separate media contexts, one recurring name.)

BTS performs next at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on the 15th and 16th.
