BTS’s Jimin is proving once again that his influence goes way beyond music—he’s now being named alongside Kimchi and Samsung as a symbol of South Korea!

Recently, a foreign social media user posted a guessing game where people had to figure out a country based on three hints. For South Korea, the clues given were "Kimchi, Jimin, Samsung", showing just how iconic Jimin has become worldwide. The post quickly went viral, with fans and netizens reacting with excitement.

Many people commented, "Of course, it's Jimin!", "Jimin's global power is insane!", and "Kimchi, Jimin, Samsung—yes, that’s South Korea!", proving that he is now recognized as a national treasure.

Jimin’s name has been coming up in similar situations for years. In a past YouTube video, an Australian was asked what they thought of first when hearing "South Korea," and their answer was Jimin.

The same thing happened in a Japanese broadcast, showing his global reach.

Since debuting with BTS in 2013, Jimin has gained massive popularity, especially in Western countries, attracting fans from all over the world.

Everything he does turns into a trending topic, whether it’s his powerful performances featuring traditional Korean fan dances or his love for Korean foods like tteokbokki, spicy chicken ramen, and yuzu tea.

Many believe Jimin has played a huge role in introducing Korean culture to the world.

His influence became even more undeniable in 2023 when he made history as the first Korean solo artist to top the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart with Like Crazy. The achievement was covered by major global media, further proving his star power.

Even though he’s currently serving in the military, Jimin’s impact hasn’t faded at all. His song Who has stayed on the Billboard Hot 100 for 27 weeks, showing that his popularity is stronger than ever.

With his name being mentioned alongside South Korea’s most famous cultural and business icons, Jimin is truly a global ambassador for K-pop and his country.
