Bang Bang Con: BTS' Jimin trends on Twitter for 11 straight hours as fans swoon over him after live concert
BTS' Jimin is no stranger to being a trend on Twitter. Previously dubbed as the "Trending Emperor" on the social media site, the Korean pop star took Twitter by storm once again when he trended for 11 continuous hours across the world.
The first member of the Korean boy band to trend as soon as the live concert began, Jimin was the hot cake in Korea, US, UK and more recording over 1.19 million mentions on Twitter.
Before the concert, he shared a clip of himself dancing to 'Boy With Luv' in TikTok. And then took no time to grab everyone's attention with his iconic orange hair.
The second day of BTS' online concert series 'Bang Bang Con' was live-streamed on the BangTanTV YouTube channel. Jimin recorded 86 trends in 59 countries with 10 different keywords.
To say that fans have had a gala time watching their beloved Korean boyband is not cutting it. "I will forever thankful to my friend who introduced me BTS with bst mv. First glimpse of Jimin I was already swooning over him the entire mv," tweeted one.
"BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS WITH PINK HAIRED JIMIN, PURPLE JOON, BLONDE HOSEOK, AND MEMBERS WEARING WHITE SHIRTS HITS DIFFERENT," tweeted another. Fans even believe they have set a record "We #BTSARMY want an award for watching a live streaming for 11 continuous hours and 10 minutes."
Earlier this week, Jimin, along with Exo's Suho, were hailed as the leading male idol for the month of April. The Korean Business Research Institute revealed this month's brand reputation rankings among K-pop boy group members ranking BTS' Jimin and EXO's Suho as the top two members.
Jimin continues to strongly hold on to this rank for 16 straight months scoring a band reputation index of 7,496,181 for April, according to reports, compared to Suho's index of 6,458,545. Keywords such as ARMY, fan, filter, cool, donate and kind are used as Jimin's high-ranking related terms.
At the end of the concert, he ended the broadcast with a short clip of him asking fans how they enjoyed the concert on the first day — adding that they must enjoy themselves on Day 2.
