But there’s something very warm and sweet about his smile that just draws you in, isn’t there? And it’s really sweet that he picked something that not a lot of people would. He does smile with his eyes. Jimin has the smallest hands amongst the BTS members. It’s a fact that his friends will occasionally tease him about. Apparently, his pinky is only half the length of V’s, who has the biggest hands amongst the BTS band members. This was actually mentioned in the song “Friends,” which is sung by V and Jimin. It’s also about their friendship. Ugh, be more adorable why don’t you? Speaking on friends, Jimin seems to be good friends with late night talk show host Jimmy Fallon. Fallon interactions continue including 2026 Tonight Show appearances, and the playful name-play humor has carried over from earlier years.
Nicknames, food, and animals! Oh my!
Jimin has a variety of nicknames that include: Jiminie, mochi, manggaeddeok (rice cake), chimchim, and Prince of Busan. Mochi, believe it or not, came from his early days with BTS where he had extremely precious chubby cheeks. When they got all bunched up? Adorable. It’s adorable, simply put. Speaking of food and Jimin, he loves spicy foods. Absolutely thinks they’re the best thing ever. The issue with that, however, is that he can’t handle them well. Don’t worry, Jimin. Many fans of spicy foods don’t have a high tolerance either. It’s one of those “hurts so good” situations. Jimin is also an avid animal lover! As if your fantasies couldn’t get any more over the top. He loves befriending cats and dogs alike. Loves animals but notes cat allergies while still engaging with them. In his solo music video “Intro: Serendipity,” he was bound and determined to befriend that cat.
Socials!
Jimin is hella active on social media, pretty much taking over the BTS account on the regular. He, specifically, posts about the daily lives of him and his bandmates along with so many selfies. Active on Weverse with group community at 30M+ users. Instagram @j.m has 59M followers with selective personal posts. He’s also notorious for posting funny pictures of his bandmates, especially going for the most hilarious on their birthdays. Ah, the wonders of friendship! Nothing beats like roasting them on the day of their birth. Jimin is also super competitive and a sore loser, which you can see on their variety show Run BTS. Continues sharing bandmate moments and selfies.
Military service and return
Jimin completed his mandatory military service and was discharged on June 11, 2025, alongside Jungkook. All seven BTS members finished service by June 2025. Since then he has jumped back into post-discharge activities and group livestreams, reconnecting with fans and bandmates in real time. The shift from individual schedules to collective projects has been quick, and the energy around the reunion feels as warm as ever.
Solo music and achievements during hiatus
Jimin released his solo debut album Face in March 2023, which included the standout track “Like Crazy.” He kept creative output going even during the military service period, dropping additional projects and performances that showed his range beyond group work. Fans got to see how his voice and style had matured while still carrying the same playful charm that made him a favorite in the first place.
BTS group comeback plans 2026
BTS announced a new studio album scheduled for March 2026 with 14 tracks. A world tour is also in the works, with preparation already underway since 2025. The timeline gives fans something concrete to look forward to after years of staggered schedules and service obligations, and Jimin has been part of the early planning conversations shared through group channels.
Weverse and fan connection
The BTS Weverse community now exceeds 30 million users. Members have leaned on the platform for direct communication after service, posting updates, answering questions, and sharing casual moments that used to happen only at concerts or fan meetings. Jimin’s presence there keeps the line between artist and fan feeling close even when schedules stay packed.
These details keep the same light, fan-focused tone the original piece had while folding in the major life updates that have happened since 2025. Jimin’s smile, nicknames, food quirks, and animal love still sit at the center, but the timeline now reflects where the group and its members actually stand. Whether you’ve followed every livestream or you’re just catching up, the core appeal remains the same: Jimin keeps giving fans plenty of reasons to smile right back at him.
