ARMYs excited as BTS' Jimin is expected to attend Met Gala 2023

The Eyes Magazine Korea has also claimed that BTS' Jimin will be a part of the Met Gala 2023. It is the largest fashion charity event that invites designers, world-famous celebrities, and fashion icons every year to commemorate the large-scale gala. Although the information is not officially backed by the idol's agency, there is a potential to catch him on the red carpet.

The Los Angeles Times and Rolling Stone have also mentioned BTS' Jimin attending the event and making his debut. It has been reported that Jimin recently filmed a behind-the-scenes video with Vogue, which officially hosts the Met Gala every year, and could possibly be a guest. As such, he will be the first BTS member to grace the event.

While the guest list is already full of some of the biggest names in the K-pop industry, ARMYs (BTS fandom name) are particularly excited to witness BTS' Jimin walking the red carpet. They are also looking forward to seeing the Like Crazy singer rock a Dior ensemble for the event.

Previously, Jimin proved his 'It Boy' status at various public events, turning all heads to himself. So, if he attends the Met Gala 2023, it is expected to become a global affair.
