"Jimin of the present moment. Playful delicacy, dreamy fairy-tale vibes, and cozy beauty. An aesthetic shared by Jimin and Jonathan Anderson. Thus begins the lyrical February of Vogue” - This is how the renowned fashion magazine Vogue described when unveiling their February cover pictorial, featuring the global ambαѕѕador of luxury brand Dior, Jimin. 

Centered on a romantic Valentine’s theme, Jimin appears with blond hair, at times posing with flowers and at others lifting a blue candy to his lips, dressed in looks such as Dior’s floral-patterned jacket, a black vest, and a deep teal suit, among others—further amplifying his allure that is both elegant and sensuous.

On social media platform X, the hashtags #JIMINxVOGUEKOREA and #JIMINxDIOR ranked No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, on real-time trending charts both worldwide and in South кσяєα. As of January 9, the magazine also recorded rankings from No. 1 through No. 7 on the real-time bestseller charts in the magazine category at online bookstores Aladin and Yes24, underscoring its strong sales performance and exceptional level of public interest.

In line with the ongoing coverage, Vogue also released the digital edition of its exclusive interview with Jimin on January 19, introducing it with the following description: “Reunited with Vogue after three years, Jimin calmly shared his convictions and personal tastes, while radiating excitement for his upcoming return with BTS.” The interview quickly drew significant attention from fans, particularly for its discussion related to BTS.

Among the highlights was a question posed by the interviewer: “It’s been 12 years since your debut. BTS members often say, ‘I exist because the team exists.’ Have you recently felt the truth of that?” The question was widely regarded as especially poignant, given that BTS is set to return as a group after a three-year hiatus, during which Jimin achieved remarkable success as a solo artist, including topping the Billboard Hot 100.

While the question itself was deeply reflective, Jimin’s response proved equally moving, deeply resonating with fans for the love and loyalty he expressed toward both the group and the fandom. Jimin shared: “I always feel the weight of the words ‘I exist because the team exists.’ From trivial moments like being at home or having a meal, to more intense moments like creating the music of my dreams, it’s present in all of them. Since everything I’m experiencing right now comes from BTS and also from ARMY, I always try not to forget that truth.”

Jimin did not speak solely about music or the stage. By referencing seemingly ordinary moments such as “being at home” or “having a meal,” he made it clear that BTS is not merely a job, but an integral part of his life and very being. Despite enjoying three years of outstanding success as a solo artist, Jimin once again emphasized that everything he is experiencing now “comes from BTS.” Notably, he also placed ARMY alongside BTS, subtly highlighting that his achievements are not incidental, but rather the result of an ecosystem built on love and unwavering support.

This exchange was deeply meaningful—not only acknowledging Jimin’s growth as an individual artist, but also reflecting the inseparable bond of BTS as they prepare to reunite in 2026. The interview further reaffirmed a statement once made by RM about Jimin: “Jimin’s head is 99999% filled with the fans and BTS.”

At this point, fans could not help but feel deeply moved, sharing reactions such as:

- He's always been thankful and grateful and every chance he gets he praises his members and the fact that he has special dynamics for each of them shows how he values them as a person and not just a team member
