BTS member Jimin has become the center of a playful exchange in Argentina after fans jokingly suggested trading a popular local rock band for the K-pop star.
The unexpected interaction caught attention when Guido Sardelli, the lead vocalist of Argentine rock band AIRBAG, personally responded to a social media post about Jimin.
The conversation began after Jimin attracted attention among local fans following BTS's concert in Argentina. His appearance and efforts to speak Spanish reportedly received positive reactions, with some fans even giving him the affectionate nickname "Little Fairy of Tucumán."
As local interest in Jimin grew, one social media user jokingly suggested, "Let's keep Jimin here and send AIRBAG to Korea instead."
The post eventually reached Guido Sardelli, who decided to join the joke rather than take offense.
Responding with a broken-heart emoji and an edited photo of himself appearing emotional, Guido wrote, "I guess I have to accept losing to the best."
His humorous reaction quickly became part of a lighthearted online exchange, entertaining fans of both BTS and AIRBAG.
AIRBAG is a popular Argentine rock band formed in 1999 by brothers Gastón, Patricio, and Guido Sardelli. The group has built a strong following in Argentina through its rock music and live performances.
The playful interaction did not end on social media.
Guido also reportedly mentioned Jimin during an AIRBAG concert, giving the BTS member a friendly shoutout.
"For my Korean brother, Jimin," he said in Spanish, using the phrase "Para mi hermano coreano, Jimin."
The unexpected mention further attracted attention as fans shared the moment online.
What started as a simple joke about keeping Jimin in Argentina turned into a friendly interaction between fans of two different music scenes.
Guido's response also showed how he embraced the attention surrounding Jimin with humor, creating an entertaining moment for both BTS supporters and AIRBAG fans.
