At 8 PM on the 21st, at the comeback stage held at Gwanghwamun Square, Jimin performed the title track “SWIM” along with songs from the group’s 5th full-length album “ARIRANG” for approximately one hour. On this day, he appeared with long blonde hair, wearing a black tweed jacket layered over an outfit featuring short sleeves (baerae) reminiscent of Hanbok, paired with wide-leg pants. The fusion of traditional elements with a modern aesthetic made his stage even more distinctive.
Despite the performance lasting about an hour, Jimin’s energy never wavered. Even while executing powerful choreography and constantly moving across the stage, his live vocals remained stable until the very end. Standing before a crowd that completely filled the square, Jimin captured every gaze from start to finish, as if repaying fans for their long wait.
As a result, he swept the No.1 trending positions in both кσяєα and the United States, once again solidifying his status as the “king of stage.” Specificially, in the United States, "VOCALIST PARK JIMIN" and "JIMINS" ranked #1 and #2 on real-time trends, while in кσяєα, the hashtag "#Jimin_ThankYou_For_The_Amazing_Stage" took the top spot. Globally, "JIMINS" reached #2, demonstrating his mαѕѕive influence.
Jimin’s heartfelt message to the fans left a deep impression. "We finally meet. It’s overwhelming to be able to speak in front of you all. I missed you," he said. He added, "I didn't expect you to fill Gwanghwamun Square like this, and I am so grateful," further warming the hearts of the fans in attendance.
However, after the event, fans noticed a detail that left many feeling heartbroken. Through videos and photos captured by attendees, ARMY realized that Jimin appeared to have been bleeding from his hand during the performance. What stood out even more was that the artist himself seemed unaware of the injury, or at least did not let it affect his performance.
One fan shared, “Oh my God, when I was watching live, I thought I saw soмєтнing and wondered if it was soмєтнing else. Then the camera didn’t zoom in again, but it really looked like he was cut or injured.” The moment quickly spread across social media platforms, sparking a wave of concerned reactions: "There’s a part where they scяαρє the floor; maybe that’s where he got hurt. Poor my Minie", "Oh my baby... it looks like he rubbed his poor hand against soмєтнing. His precious, soft hand", "When my angel Jimin is in pain, my heart aches just as much", "Oh, it was even bleeding at the time—it must have hurt so much. Oh, my Jimin",...
What moved fans even more was the fact that Jimin completed the entire hour-long performance without the slightest distraction, demonstrating incredible professionalism. ARMY did not hesitate to praise him for always giving 100% on stage and never showing any signs of difficulty or pain in front of fans, saying: "You couldn't even tell it was stinging; his level of professionalism is incredible", "Jimin please next time wear gloves to perform. I am pretty sure it will go viral too while protecting your skins. Safety 1st, 2nd, 3rd", "He didn't even seem to care. He performed with everything he had and looked so happy... I’m still totally obsessed with Jimin from that day", "Omg baby no hes so proffesionell", "The stage is your home, Jimin. He completely eclipsed the rest. He looked spectacular and showed why he's number one",...
In fact, this is not the first time Jimin has faced an incident while performing. Many fans recalled a similar situation in 2019 during a fan meeting in נαραи. At the time, during the performance of “Boy With Luv,” several videos showed that his pants were torn at the knee, revealing a bleeding wound. However, if not for the high-resolution photos shared afterward, many would not have realized he was injured, as Jimin continued to perform pαѕѕionately and professionally.
Fortunately, in both cases, the injuries were not serious. Nevertheless, fans still felt heartbroken and hoped for his quick recovery. At the same time, moments like these not only deepen their admiration but also make them love and cherish him even more.
