BTS Jimin, V and Jungkook topped the list of idols that fans want to receive Pepero snacks from on Pepero Day.
According to a report by All Kpop, MJ People and MJ Flex conducted a survey and asked respondents which male or female idol they would like to receive Pepero snacks from during the romantic holiday.
BTS Jimin topped the survey with 25 percent of the votes while V followed at a close second with 20.8 percent. The youngest BTS member, Jungkook, received 18.8 percent of the vote.
While the rest of the world celebrate Valentines' Day on February 14 as a special time for lovers, Koreans express their love on Pepero Day, which falls on November 11 every year.
Instead of roses and chocolates, lovers exchange Pepero snacks to symbolize their love for friends, family, and even their beaus. November 11 was named Pepero Day because of the similarity of the snack's vertical shape to the number 11/11.
It was no surprise that BTS Jimin topped the survey because of his great love for ARMYs, the BTS official fandom. In 2014 and 2016, he uploaded selcas of himself as a gift for fans on Pepero Day. In one of the photos, Jimin showed himself holding a Pepero box which he dedicated to ARMYs. In the second, he goofed around with a filter and portrayed himself as an actual Pepero snack.
Interestingly, all of the BTS members who topped the survey are popular style and trending icons. Jimin was given international recognition for his influence in the global fashion scene by the prestigious Business of Fashion 500 magazine.
Jimin was lauded by editors and fashion experts for his unique style and confidence which helped him elevate even the most casual looks to runway level trends. Even renowned director and photographer Gus Van Sant expressed an interest in working with the BTS member.
Meanwhile, BTS V developed a reputation as a fashion icon by taking big risks in his style choices. Kim Taehyung, with visuals that earned him the title Prince Charming of Kpop, proved that he can pull off looks from multiple prints to clashing colors, to pajama sets worn in public.
Jungkook was also responsible for selling out even simple street styles that captivated fans on the lookout for his pieces. Most recently, Jungkook was spotted wearing a modern kimono which caused fans to flock to the site of the online seller and buy out the entire stock within minutes.
