Jimin recently did various shows to promote his new album. One of them includes recording sessions for musical stages.
Most recently, Jimin did a pre-recorded stage for his performance at MCountdown. Some of the fans who were lucky enough to participate in this recording told many interesting stories during their cheering for Jimin at Mnet.
One of them includes the story of how Jimin proves his great love for BTS 7 and this is how he shows it:
With FACE promotions going on in full swing, it's not hard to see Jimin busy with his schedules. On March 26, Jimin was at CJ E&M studio in Paju to record the promotional stage for two new songs, Set Me Free pt.2 and Like Crazy, for the stage of Mnet MCountdown.
Several ARMYs, who were able to secure a seat in the aud̾i̾e ̾nce, were at the filming location to support Jimin. Although they had to cover their phone lenses to comply with the no-video policy, many viewers spoke about their experiences on Twitter.
While some made ARMYs jealous by showing off the gifts Jimin had prepared for fans, others shared some standout moments when Jimin interacted with his fans. One of those behind-the-scenes stories touched fans' hearts as it just reaffirmed how much Jimin loves being a part of BTS.
Right from the early stages of promoting his personal album, he mentioned BTS wherever and whenever he could. From promoting RM's album Indigo while talking about his solo album in an interview with Vogue кσяєα, to crediting his members as the inspiration for his album, the words His constant thanks for his team made fans realize how "in Jimin's head there are only BTS and ARMY".
Specifically, in the pre-recording of ARMY with Jimin at MCountdown, at the end of his last performance, fans performed a fanchant of Jimin's name. The fanchant for Kpop fans is nothing new, it represents the spiritual support and enthusiasm that fans give to the idol's performance.
So they chanted "PARK JIMIN PARK JIMIN", but then Jimin denied this and instructed ARMY to chant "BTS!! BTS!!" instead of his name.
This touched the fans there and they did as Jimin said. Not only that, during the recording, Jimin talked about how the group will make a comeback and how he recalled the memories of when they were promoting together.
Another ARMY even recounted Jimin was saying how he isn’t the type who’d host conversations in this kind of setting. When he’s with members someone would lead and he could just like ‘What are you saying~’ here and there. It feels lonely and hard, but he has to tough it out so that when BTS are back together again he could be a cooler version of himself.
Jimin has a lot of respect for BTS and even when he's on a mission as a solo artist, he always hopes it will be a way to make BTS memorable. He never seems to separate himself from BTS and always has been.
This little story made the fans cry. They note that Jimin could easily have had his shining moment, but he chose to share it with his group, even though they're not physically close:
