Several media outlets report on BTS' Jimin's influence on Korean culture and foods

Jimin is constantly being mentioned in various publications on various topics because he always tends to stand out in any given setting, be it vocal capabilities, fashion, or influence. His name constantly emerges at the top whenever discussing these and various other topics. Recently, several South Korean and international media outlets have published different features on varying topics, namely iconic stage outfits and the economic impact on Korean food brands. It goes to show just how extensively his influence is recognized and acknowledged.

On April 18, the Korean newspaper Jeonbuk IIbo published an article on Leesle, a modern hanbok brand, in which it mentioned Jimin made headlines back in 2018 after wearing one of the brand's designs with his fierce dance, perfectly representing the most Korean and modern performances. He perfectly represented what the brand sought to communicate through its designs and spread the Korean culture.

The CEO of Leslee brand, Hwang Leslee, had previously mentioned Jimin multiple times regarding his impact on the introduction of Korean Hanbok culture to the rest of the world. She says how the designs were meant to represent 'fun in a graceful way,' something that Jimin absolutely embodied when wearing the hanbok during his 2018 MMAs performance. 

It shall be remembered that on the day of this award show, Jimin was the second-highest trending topic Worldwide after the awards show itself, with a whopping 1.5 million mentions on Twitter after his solo fan dance performance. He topped Twitter trends in over 40 countries and was trending in some countries in the west for as long as three consecutive days. He really did attract the world's attention and gave them an interest in Korean culture, namely the hanbok and the traditional Korean fan dance [read more here]. It is easy to see why he is called 'Korea's Front-man' for years.

In a different news feature, The Korea Herald highlighted Jimin in a publication on how BTS transformed the City of Las Vegas recently during their series of concerts [read here]. Jimin's beautiful high notes are mentioned as a part of the beautiful show at the Bellagio Fountain, the symbol of Las Vegas. The article states how people joined in to sing along during this iconic moment. Jimin's voice always gives color to BTS songs due to his unique tonal range, and it is always the catchy part of the song that is usually highlighted at any time. He is among the best and most polished vocalists to ever exist,

This was a big moment to have Jimin's voice specially highlighted in this way because media reports have indicated that the Bellagio Fountain show, the ultimate symbol of Las Vegas, in fact, attracted approximately 200,000 viewers, all of whom got to witness and hear Jimin's iconic vocal skills [read here].

Fashion is another field where Jimin's name can never not be mentioned. Not only does he have a great sense of style, but his perfect body proportions and beautiful visuals, coupled with the way he carries himself, can make anything that he wears to look absolutely classy and alluring. 

Back to Jimin's positive impact on his country, the JoongAng IIbo newspaper published a piece on the promotion of Korean culture, where Jimin's influence on Korean foods exports is mentioned. The article states how Samyang Foods company opted to sponsor BTS' concerts in Las Vegas because of how Jimin made the brand's product popular and increased its sales in the US and China massively just from a video of him eating the brand's spicy chicken noodles.

This isn't the first time this month that K-media has highlighted Jimin's influence on the sponsorship of Samyang Foods for the Las Vegas BTS concerts. There have been other mentions even on major TV channels with two different staff members of Samyang Foods stating that Jimin was the reason the company was sponsoring the concerts [refer here].

Jimin is an icon in every way imaginable. There is nothing he does not excel in and become the best of the best even when he is not trying, and someone with this magnitude of impact is absolutely to be respected.
