People always say that the distance between fans and idols is the furthest distance, but Jimin knows how to eliminate this thought in the mind of his fans. Just with his one action towards an ARMY, the others felt how close the bond was between them.
This story was told by a lucky fan who Jimin recognized even though he hadn't seen her for 4 years. After she shared her story on SNS, not only ARMYs but also netizens were touched by the Kpop superstar's behavior and loved him even more.
Here's what happened in this cute story and it shows why Jimin is so loved:
There is a truth that we all admit that hundreds of thousands of fans have only one idol, but an idol cannot remember the faces and names of all his fans because the number is too large. Alongside, BTS in general or Jimin in particular are the world's leading Kpop superstars, possessing millions of fans around the world.
They also have many accasions, times and places to see their fans, such as from concerts, events to fansigns or fanmeetings... Wherever Jimin or BTS go, they can meet ARMYs, but every moment of interaction is just a pαѕѕing moment. Therefore, most of us do not expect them to remember their fans specifically.
However, Jimin surprised and delighted fans when he met a fan again after 4 years and was able to accurately recognize her among his millions of fans. It shows how attentive and caring he must be to his fans to be able to do that.
Specifically, in a post shared on Twitter by a famous ARMY who runs Jimin's longtime fansite, TENSION UP, she attached a video showing the idol's reaction during a fansign to promote his solo album - FACE. At that time, it had been a long time since BTS members in general and Jimin in particular had held fansigns directly with fans. Jimin's solo debut and this fancall is the first one since the group held their last fansign for Map of The Soul: Persona in 2019.
About 70 lucky people were able to directly attend this fancall and meet and chat with Jimin for a while. But when it was TENSION UP's turn, Jimin surprised her by telling that they met at a fansign 4 years ago. And it's completely accurate, the last time she saw Jimin was at the fansign in 2019.
In the beginning, TENSION UP just wanted to chat like other fans with Jimin but he gave her a gift that was the best of all. She was very touched because she knew that there were millions of other fans and the last time they met in person was 4 years ago but he still recognized her. Although she kept most of the call private, she did share a short five-second clip of the moment. In the video, Jimin said: "We’re meeting again after four years. I remember you."
TENSION UP clearly felt sweet and emotional as she earned a place in his mind. Not only that, it also made other fans sob and fall in love with the care he has for his fandom. For Jimin or BTS, fans rarely get a chance to see them up close or talk directly with them often. Jimin never seems to miss a moment when interacting with ARMYs and he always cherishes it.
Other netizens couldn't help but express their excitement at this special moment:
- Wow, he has millions of fans, but he remembered. That fan must be in a good mood
