On the 4th of June, it was revealed that former T-ara member Park Ji-Yeon would be the female lead in a drama called Next Door Witch J. In the drama, there is a scene where Jimin is mentioned as the one Ji-Yeon's character has been in love with for a long time.

Fans quickly resonated with the scene and pointed out that Jimin was the object of their unrequited love.

Back in March, fans noticed that Jimin appeared in a web drama called Today is Office, Tomorrow is Romance. In episode 8, the female lead Kang Hye Mi is seen browsing on her desktop through a collection of BTS Jimin's photos. In the next episode, Jung Ji Yoon's supporting character is holding up her phone while explaining that it was past midnight and the wallpaper was a picture of Jimin.

BTS' Jimin is no stranger to making such appearances in Korean Dramas and has been featured in various ways. In the 2019 OCN drama Save Me 2, Jimin is praised in a conversation between two characters, "I like Jimin the most. I became a fan during Blood, Sweat, and Tears. Jimin was really at his peak."

Jimin has often received acclaim for his iconic opening moment in the BTS Music Video for Blood, sweat, and tears. In the 2019 SBS drama Haechi, the character Park Moon Soo copied Jimin's exact hand position similar to the one from the song while talking about the blood, sweat, and tears that went into ensuring he passes his state exam.

The 2018 tvN drama Tales of Fairy highlighted Jimin's unique dance and stage genius performances wherein a character jests by saying that if her co-worker was persisting in a failed attempt at imitating Jimin again, she would kill him.

In yet another drama, Romance is a Bonus Book, eagle-eyed fans quickly noticed that Park Jimin was indicated as the CEO of a coffee shop, with his birthdate as the telephone number on a receipt. And in Love Struck in the City, Ji Chang Wook was seen having a Jimin cold brew Americano in one scene.

All the instances of Park Jimin appearing in dramas without actually acting in one show that he is a household name.
