Jimin journey is really motivating because it developed from self hatred , insecurities and negativity to self love and positivity. We often start our weight loss journey as self hatred of our body leading vicious cycle and get stuck and deteriorate ourself. But , Bts taught us by LOVE YOURSELF message to work on us . Jimin is a big part of it. We truly love our Jiminie for being too inspirational and comfort us .💜💜💜💜💜 Wow so much likes , thanks . I hope we can find happiness in whatever form we are . I think our happiness and well being matters the most not some crazy standards. Also recently I got to know , Jimin eats healthy and go on frequent diets to maintain his weight because as ballet or for his performance extra weight cause some hindrances so I think he thinks maintain as required. I think we all agree for dancing and performance weight some has effect on it. As long as he is happy and healthy, we should also be happy for him. 😊
as a 2015/16 army, i remember the constant talk during the run and bs&t eras abt how much weight he had lost and how concerned armys - esp international armys - were. i also remember when the interview where he said he only ate one meal in 10 days came out, it was like confirmation of what we were all kinda fearing i guess (how extreme his diet was), and it was just a really hard time as an army - because not only did we have confirmation of the extent of jimins dieting but this was also the time where there was so much hate regarding bts everywhere (korean media, western media, esp social media) and also so many fanwars that armys were constantly in the middle of - i really cant even imagine how jimin and the members felt through all of this. also as someone who has struggled with and been hospitalised for anorexia myself, one of my biggest fears was always people finding out and trying to help by offering me food ect because i found it very triggering and exposing, of course im not saying jimin went through this but i guess i worried about him in that sense aswell. i really cant imagine constantly hearing "gain weight" "we're worried about you" "please eat" ect from tens of thousands of people everyday while he seemed to also be going through this cycle of self hatred and criticism - and through all this, still receiving endless hate and insults from antis. of course we are only fans and we only know the members and their struggles through what they choose to share with us, and we will never truly know what he went through and the extent of it :(( anyways im not expecting anyone to read this little rant but it felt good to write, i love jimin and all the members dearly and always wish the best for them and hope they stay healthy :))
Honestly, he got backlash for talking about his diet but i applaud him for it. Many idols talk abt it as if its "the secret to weight loss" or as if its normal, Jimin always, ALWAYS, said that it was unhealthy and he didn't recommend it from the very first time he brought it up.
He seems to be focusing a bit more on gaining muscle (I'm assuming based on his arm muscles lmao) but he seems to be extremely confident, and not that forced-feeling sense of confidence from 2013 when he was making jokes about being the "attractive one", but genuine confidence, the kind that begins inwards and radiates outwards, where you can tell he is secure within himself.
It hasn't been easy, but he has most definitely become a healthy, graceful, beautiful swan filled with a deserved sense of confidence and self-assurance, and he deserves no less. What a brilliant role model.
edit: when I talk about making jokes about being attractive, that in itself is not a bad thing- look at Jin, for instance, he jokes about it too but it comes across as a genuine part of his personality and humour and I do believe that he seriously thinks he is handsome (and he is). However, when jimin did it in 2013 it didn't feel authentic because it's not quite "him", you know? it felt a bit forced, but i genuinely think he believes he is handsome now.
This is sad and hearing him referrer to himself as a pig is heartbreaking. I'm a new Army and didn't know about Jimin's struggle with his weight. Sadly I'll bet they all have their own struggles and yet they work hard to keep the good music and visuals coming. 💜
It's so heartbreaking to look back at the early days, when Jimin was probably an absolutely normal weight for a boy his age, and hear him calling himself fat. He was still maturing and the expectation for him to look like a man right out of the gate is such a lot of pressure for a child. I also think back and feel sorry, not only for Jimin, but Jungkook too, who was always put in a position where he had to rank the members looks. Knowing how much he loves all his brothers it must have been awful to constantly be made to "rank" his members looks while knowing the toll it took on Jimin's mental health. I'm just glad that Jimin seems happy and healthy these days, and has even put on a bit more muscle which I'm happy about not for aesthetic reasons, but because gaining more strength may be improving the chronic shoulder and back issues he's had.
I feel sad and heartbroken when he referred himself as “pig”. I realized how cruel the entertainment world could be. He was so young back then </3 dear jimin and other bts members, a true army will always love you the way you are. As long as you are healthy, and happy, then we will be happy too. 💜💜💜
I just love Jimin. He has the sweetest heart and soul. It breaks my heart that he worried so much about gaining or losing weight. Even worse I hate that people would hate him for being too skinny or too overweight. Everyone's weight goes up and down. I hope Jimin found the perfect balance for himself and not others. He is beautiful inside and out. To me Jimin is the sweetest angel on earth and I just want him to be happy with himself. Jimin you are perfect!!!!!!!
I have a LOT of respect and admiration for Jimin. He is one of these fabulous achievers with incredible willpower. Nothing was given to him. He knew what he wanted and he did everything to get there. I don't know anyone who would not like to change "something" about themselves. 80% of us do nothing...however Park Jimin didn't hesitate. He is fantastic!
Eating disorders are very serious. I am so proud he has the support needed and his brothers and family. There is too much pressure for perfection. Jimin looks fantastic.
This made me cry knowing how much he has struggled to become the person that he is today. These so called toxic fans should be neutralized! Who needs them ?!! Even today I see hate towards him!! I mean how can one hate this beautiful and humble person ?!! Haters! Go find something else to hate! Leave him. We love him and that’s enough!!
It hits you a little harder after watching FACE's promo videos where he once again talks about the 50Kg limit. And compared weeks later he seems to be getting back to a healthy weight. It saddens me deeply that he still has to deal with this, although I understand that the pressure not only from the music industry but also from Korean society makes it difficult for anyone to heal or maintain themselves out of toxic standards, especially with the return of trends from the 2000s.
I hope that not only he was, but all idols, artists and people going through health problems can find themselves in a healthy way without the need for something so extreme, dangerous and painful. May in the future this become just a forgotten painful memory, and only the love and care of those around you can revitalize you. Hopefully the best moment will come, 2016 was a very intense and terrible period for BTS and ARMY, may we walk a better and more comfortable path 💜
a lot of armys really like to say he's 'naturally' slim and brush everything under the rug while encouraging him to eat and rest well and they don't like to pay attention to his years of showing dangerous behaviors in order to achieve a certain look... i hope he continues to truly prioritize his health !!!! and i hope all the armys who praise his 'natural' body remember that it may be somewhat natural, but is also a result of a lot of work on his part which is both a testament to his determination and a reason to not overdo the praise for his body, since it can give the impression that he has to keep it looking a certain way in order to receive love
thanks for the vids and ofc jimin as always is such a wonderful singer so it was lovely to hear him in the clips <3
As a baby army I remember looking through the MVs and performance from oldest to newest. Except for the extreme abs (it was so defined and covered in tanner!) from the No More Dream era, I hardly noticed Jimin's body changes. What really stands out is his stage presence, his charisma, his talent. It was never his body fat percentage or abs that made Jimin special. I wish someone could've told him that when he was eating one meal a day. I wish he knew.
Everyone needs to realize that this behavior with his weight probably started way before he was ever in BTS as a contemporary dancer. Dancers are expected to have a certain body type and it's very common to have body issues and dieting issues with in the dancing community especially at the level that he performed at
Jimin's story is one of the most extreme that I've heard. I've been a fan for almost four years now and I had heard about his extreme dieting. When I first saw them perform in 2019 Jimin seemed very happy on stage. It's great to see how passionate he's become about "Love Myself" even to the point of passing on the message during I-Land. It's not easy to hear about the different pressures and criticisms they've faced. A lot of the BTS members including Jimin have said that they started going to the gym more during the pandemic and the work they've put in shows. The enthusiasm that Jimin showed for it in an interview sounds like he's really felt good about it and not pressured into it. When I saw PTD day's 1&2 in Las Vegas. He looked healthy, happy, and was taking every opportunity he could to show he was enjoying himself even to the point of saying "I'm not ready for the next song, I need to hear ARMY scream first." All I could ever ask from any of them is that they're happy and healthy.
As an Army I don't care if any of the seven members are "skinny", "muscular", "fat", or whatever as long as they are healthy and happy with their body and life. Like seriously the body changes with the amount of work and stress. How on earth can people expect them to maintain and remain the same? Seriously... And I'm sad Jimin or any other member had to go through this. I just hope they be happy with their success and lead a fruitful life ♥️.
But , Bts taught us by LOVE YOURSELF message to work on us . Jimin is a big part of it.
We truly love our Jiminie for being too inspirational and comfort us .💜💜💜💜💜
