For his outstanding talent, skills, personality, visuals, and impact, Jimin has consistently been recognized by prominent individuals and businesses in various fields. He is among the best in the industry in vocal and dance skills and is seen as a role model to many, has a very relatable and heart-warming personality with the striking looks of a super-model, and has massive popularity and impact that brings economic benefits to any business he associates himself with. The past few days have exhibited just how much recognition he enjoys from around the globe from influential individuals and companies in their respective spheres.

Athletics is one of the fields where Jimin has become an absolute favorite to many star players.

On November 6, Kim Yeon-Koung, a South Korean professional volleyball player who previously served as the country's national team captain, retweeted a clip of Jimin from one of the episodes of the ongoing reality show 'BTS In The Soop 2' on her official Twitter account. In this clip which is from the most recent episode (ep.4), Jimin and RM were conversing about the Olympic volleyball game, and Jimin mentioned the player. In the same episode, BTS members watched a game between their national volleyball team and another country, and she retweeted a clip of this footage.

Kim Yeon-Koung was also the most valuable player and the best scorer at the 2012 London Olympics, and she currently plays for the Shanghai women's volleyball team.

Just a day earlier, on November 5, another volleyball player, this time from Brazil, also declared Jimin to be his favorite BTS member. In an interview with CNN Brazil, Douglas Souza, who won a gold medal at the 2016 Olympics and the 2019 FIVB World Cup, named Jimin when asked who his favorite BTS member is. This would be the second time he has said this, another being when he posted on his Instagram stories answering the same question with a Jimin face sticker.

Jimin has also received attention from other prominent athletes over the past few months, such as from the two-times Olympics gold medalist Yuzuru Hanyu, who expressed his admiration for Jimin's dance skills and beautiful body lines, saying that he felt there were things he could learn from him and that he could incorporate into his own performances.

Another athlete Park Inbee, a Korean pro-golfer who won a gold medal at the 2016 Olympics, was also spotted with a Chimmy plushie during his LPGA tour. Chimmy is a BT21 character created by Jimin, and the character has been known to enjoy massive popularity, which also reflects the creator's popularity.

In fashion, Jimin is known for his brand impact. His perfect body proportions with striking facial features and his general aura with how he wears the brand makes him a dream brand ambassador for any clothing brand. He always causes different clothing products to sell out within hours and sometimes even minutes from when he is seen wearing them.

On November 5, the high-end Korean designer boutique Jaybaek Couture posted the iconic suit that Jimin wore during his memorable 'Black Swan' performance at the recently held BTS virtual concert #PTD_ON_STAGE. The post was made both on the company's official Instagram account and on the website.

Apart from the fact that Jimin looked absolutely stunning in that suit, the company indeed recognizes his brand power, hence the posts.

In music, a fan-edited a video of Jimin using clips from the 'BTS 2022 Season's Greetings' preview, where Jimin's concept was the alley cat. Jimin blew fans away with his mesmerizing looks and how well he executed the concept, which saw him trend worldwide just minutes after the video clip's release. This fan-edited video used the song 'Sad Girlz Luv Money Remix' by Amaarae, a Ghanaian-American singer, songwriter, producer, and sound engineer. Amaarae found the video and liked and retweeted it on her official Twitter account.

Still in music, rookie group KINGDOM's Arthur, the group's vocalist, and main dancer, once again mentioned Jimin as his role model in an interview with Bandwagon. He narrated how he was inspired to dream of being a singer by Jimin's 'Butterfly' performance at the 2015 KBS Song Festival.

He had also previously mentioned how Jimin had left a lasting impression on him with how he touched his heart with his 'I Need You' solo performance at the end-year music award show, the 2019 Melon Music Awards. This performance had Jimin showcasing his unrivaled skills in contemporary dance, and everyone still praises the performance to date. In fact, the MMA featured this performance in its 2020 video showing the history of the show, having put the image of Jimin during this performance on their wall of iconic and historical performances.

Arthur had also covered Jimin's classical hit 'Lie' at the beginning of this year at Genie Music's 'Gems' Show. He has referred to Jimin as a part of the Elite King Dance Line in K-pop, showing how much he admires Jimin and how high his regard for him and his craft is.

Jimin is loved by many. Companies respect his brand power, and his talent and skills are admired by many who look up to him and wish to be as good as he is. He is an all-rounded king and with influence anywhere imaginable.
