The media reported, “Jimin faced down on the floor and expressed his deep gratitude to the fans, making the ARMY proud.” This showed Jimin’s humble personality, even after he rose to the rank of one of the most popular superstars in the world. He also introduced the meaning of Korea’s ‘Big bowl’ culture, which is somewhat unfamiliar to overseas fans, saying, ‘Big bow’ culture is used only to show the most respect because kneeling is not common in Korea.”

Jimin, who has shown unchanging love for fans for 8 years since his debut, had fans bawling with his humble bow on the cold floor, strengthened the bond between the artist and the fandom, and at the same time led the Billboard’s record celebrations, not only promoting Korean culture as a ‘Korea frontman’ but also shining as a ‘BTS frontman’.
