Jimin is a pretty sweet guy. Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, V, Jungkook, and the fans know this by heart. With their success, you probably think that the boys are so used to the attention and love from the fans, but Jimin is still clearly touched by it.
Although most men would not show much of their emotions, the BTS star is not one to shy away from telling people how he feels. With that said, here are 10 things that Jimin said that prove how much he loves the ARMYs.
1. When Jimin said that ARMYs are his heroes.
“BTS members and ARMYs are the heroes in my life. I wanted to be and should have been, everyone’s hero, but there were times I hit rock bottom and suffered in the pits of despair. And it was the members and ARMYs who stayed by my side through that darkness. They are my heroes. I’m not lying, I’m serious. I am so grateful for them.”
2. When he said that he owes everything to the fans.
“Dear ARMYs. I feel so good these days and I’m super happy. I don’t have to be doing anything. Just spending time with you guys makes it enough for me. It makes me happy. And that feels almost strange to me. I used to be the type of person who felt the pressure to keep myself busy. I was almost always anxious. I’m not like that anymore. It must be because I’m now aware of the people around me, supporting me. So I owe it all to you. So thank you for everything.”
3. When the 23-year-old singer, songwriter, and dancer said, he couldn’t live without the ARMYs.
“And bam! Just like that, ARMYs have been with us ever since. And together, we’ve come all the way here somehow. So now, I don’t think I can live without you all.”
4. When the BTS star reminded the fans that he'd got his eyes on them too.
“Watching you all sing along to the song made my anxiety go away. It was amazing. Just like the way you have your eyes on us, I’ve got my eyes on you guys too. Remember that, okay?”
5. When Jimin said that he would be happier if fans could love themselves as much as they love BTS.
“I wanted to point out how much your love means to us. Each and every one of your voices counts. Thank you for your endless love and support. And it would make me so much happier if you all could love yourselves as much as you love us. I just really wanted to tell you guys that. I really love you all.”
6. When his goal is to make his fans the happiest.
“It makes me so happy that I’ve become someone important in your lives. And because you make me so happy, I want to make you the happiest person in the world too.”
7. When the idol noted that his fans are the reason for what he has achieved.
“ARMYs, I’m sure you know how I feel when I look at you guys. Only because you are walking alongside me, only because you are by my side, am I able to move another step forward.”
8. When the BTS star takes pride in himself because their fans are proud of them.
“I really wanted to get this award again, here on this stage. Like I’ve always said, the pride that you find in us – that is the pride we take in ourselves. Your pride in us is our pride.”
9. When Jimin said that he still has so much more to give to the fans.
“I just wanted to thank you all for helping us come this far. I am forever grateful. And there is so much more I want to share with you. Don’t worry. This is not the end of us.”
10. When he wants to give ARMYs pure happiness.
“Here’s something I wanted to share with you all. I want you to smile for real – not one of those smiles that you put on your face to move on with your day, but a real smile from pure happiness in your heart. I want you always to be able to put on that kind of smile. I want the best things to happen to you guys. You understand, right?”
Fans would always dream of having a romantic relationship with their idols, and it seems that Jimin is giving them that feeling as he is clearly in love with the fandom. ARMYs already know how sweet the BTS star is, but these lines are just reminders that the love is not one-sided.
