Jimin has become a hot topic among Brazilian gamers after the BTSxFree Fire collaboration, illustrating his impact as the face of K-pop and Global It Boy.

On the 28th of February, BTS was announced as the global ambassador for the widely popular game Garena Free Fire. The game successfully crossed 1 Billion downloads on the Google play store as of July last year. The partnership will include an in-game event slated for March, and it will see the band enter the world of Free Fire. Speaking at a press release, Harold Teo, a Producer at the company, said that the collaboration would offer players more ways to engage with the game, socialize with the community and enjoy new experiences, something that fans are already excited about.

Soon after the announcement was made and promotional poster unveiled, the news spread like wildfire, and Jimin has increasingly become a hot topic among Brazilian gamers. They expressed their excitement on the video-focused social platform TikTok where Jimin went viral. Some of their comments include:

My God I really want Jimin skin and I'm not ARMY

I almost don't watch BTS but I need to see Jimin shooting someone

Me and my bros are gonna play as Jimin on the match

TSM FTX Brasil, a professional eSports organization, joined in on the party, expressing excitement at seeing Jimin's skin (character) while playing the game.

Los Grandes, an eSports team, edited their logo on Jimin's photo and quoted the Garena Free Fire Brasil tweet with it captioning, 'Can anyone tell me if this picture of Jimin is real?'. Bruno Rodrigues, a writer for eSports News website Mais eSports Brasil, used a popular saying among Brazilian players to show that Jimin's presence is appealing and one that will guarantee victory when he said, 'Ain Jimin apelaum' and 'Jimin apelaum we love you.'

Similarly, after the launch of the 7 Fates CHAKHO Webtoon series featuring BTS in January, Jimin, through his character Haru was an internet sensation. He was seen dominating Twitter trends worldwide and going viral on TikTok for his striking beauty, charm, and majestic aura from his role in the story as a wise Master and powerful Deity.
