BTS‘s Jimin is being mentioned when it comes to Ryan Gosling‘s iconic performance at the 2024 Oscars (Academy Awards).
On March 10 (local time), Ryan Gosling performed the epic track “I’m Just Ken” at the Oscars. The actor was dressed in a pink suit and truly owned the stage, but something was missing, and ARMYs joked it could be Jimin’s fault.
But what does it have to do with Jimin?
When clips of the movie started to be shared, netizens noticed that Ryan Gosling wore a shirt identical to the one worn by Jimin the “Permission To Dance” music video.
After seeing the comparisons, Ryan Gosling sent a special message to Jimin through social media and promised him a special gift… of his guitar.

Jimin received the guitar like a successful fan and responded in the cutest way to the message.
Hi Ryan and hi Ken! It’s Jimin. Congrats on your big release. My fans are excited to see your video. So, thank you so much. I could see that you look great in my outfit. Thank you for this guitar. I really love it, and I look forward to watching Barbie. Go Barbie!

Considering that Ryan Gosling was without his iconic guitar, it wasn’t surprising that all posts led to Jimin. Many joked that Ken couldn’t use his guitar because it had been gifted to Jimin, and many shared the video of the idol receiving the gift. It’s not surprising that many ARMYs could probably only think about Jimin during the performance.

Hopefully, when Jimin is discharged from the army, he can return the guitar to Ryan for a special collaboration.
