BTS's Jimin mesmerized the world with a captivating and beautiful dance video.
On the 23rd, Jimin shared a dance video of "Face-off," which is included in his solo album "FACE," on his Instagram with the hashtag '#ThisIsJimin.'
"Face-Off" had previously been selected as one of the standout K-pop B-side tracks of the first half of 2023 by the American music outlet Consequence Of Sound, earning praise. In the video, Jimin, under dim lighting, captivates the audience with a unique aura. He majestically walks forward, matching the lyrics filled with deep emotions, proving his status as the "King of Dance" with choreography infused with contemporary dance, a field he majored in at Busan High School of Arts.
Notably, he appears barefoot and uses his entire body, from fingertips to toes, to express himself, like a fluttering butterfly. Jimin's expression is an unparalleled genre of its own, offering an extraordinary catharsis and emotion that no one else can replicate.
Immediately after the release of the dance video, it trended in real-time on "X" (formerly known as Twitter) due to the enthusiastic response from fans. The hashtag '#ThisIsJimin,' as impactful as Jimin's dance, rose to the top spot worldwide, as well as in South Korea and the United States.
This fervor continued until the following day, the 24th, when, even after 20 hours since its release, it still ranked 7th on South Korea's real-time trends. Additionally, on TikTok, the hashtag '#ThisIsJimin' was used over a million times. Jimin's Instagram video also quickly surpassed 20 million views, proving his immense popularity.
It's worth noting that Jimin previously expressed his desire for music videos for all four songs on his "FACE" album, but unfortunately, only the title track "Like Crazy" and "Set Me Free Pt.2" were produced. After the release of the "Face-Off" dance video, fans are hoping to see the full music video rather than just short clips.
