As the world prepares to be taken by storm by Barbie, Canadian actor Ryan Gosling has taken the time to send out a special message for BTS‘s Jimin.
Lately, it seems like the Barbie movie craze has been everywhere. Every brand under the sun seems to have a unique collaboration with the movie, while the cast has been appearing worldwide before its release.
Margot Robbie, who plays Barbie in the film, went viral several times during the press tour’s stop in South Korea, where she looked gorgeous while wearing a pink hanbok!
Robbie stars alongside Ryan Gosling, who plays Ken, Barbie’s everlasting companion. The handsome star, known for appearing in several romantic comedies like The Notebook, was an unexpected choice for the role but has impressed in previews.
Last year, during the movie’s filming, Gosling appeared in photos with Robbie dressed up in a Western-style look that immediately stood out to fans of BTS. This is because he wore the same top as Jimin in the “Permission To Dance” music video!

Fans loved seeing these two worlds collide and thought nothing of it until now when Gosling brought it up!
In a special video shared on the Barbie movie’s official social media accounts, Gosling introduces himself to Jimin before mentioning that the two wore the same look.
Gosling then says that Jimin “wore it first, and definitely wore it best” and mentions that because of an unofficial Ken code, he must now offer him his most prized possession — Ken’s guitar from the movie! He says that the guitar will be in much better hands with Jimin!
Seeing that Jimin is a big fan of The Notebook, this “peace offering” from Gosling will be well received! You can check out the video clip below!
