“Such a gentleman” - BTS’ Jimin wins over the internet after thoughtfully waiting to greet fans post-Dior SS26 show

On October 1, 2025, BTS' Jimin awed fans with his humility during his appearance at the Dior Fashion Show 2026. While most guests left after the event, he stayed behind. The idol waited until the very end before walking down the stairs to personally greet the fans who had been waiting outside in the sun to catch a glimpse of him, as reported by WWD.

The BTS member smiled, waved, and expressed his gratitude, acknowledging the fans' efforts. Only after spending additional moments with them did he depart from the event.

This act of Jimin won over the ARMY's hearts, who shared their reactions online. One fan wrote on X:

"Such a gentleman."

Fans flooded social media with praise, leaving comments about his kindness.

The fans also trended the hashtags, "JIMIN DIOR GLOBAL AMBASSADOR," and "FACE OF DIOR."

Jimin marks his return as the Dior ambassador after 2 years

Park Jimin of BTS, who was appointed as a global brand ambassador for Dior in January 2023, made a return to the fashion house’s stage on October 1, 2025. This marked his first Dior show appearance in two years, since he completed his military service in June.

The Like Crazy singer, with his blonde hair, turned heads as he arrived completely shirtless, wearing a rich-colored black blazer paired with black leather trousers. A layered gold necklace completed the look. Within just 12 hours, more than 4.8 million mentions about the BTS member were made on X.

Alongside his show appearance, the star also connected directly with fans through two surprise Weverse lives on October 1. The first livestream, which lasted approximately nine minutes, ended due to poor internet connectivity. Minutes later, he returned with a second broadcast acknowledging the network interruption.

During the live, Jimin opened up about his personal reflections, sharing:

“I’ve been through many things, and I want to keep showing a good side of myself to fans and others. Living life well is not easy. I feel every day that becoming a good adult and living a good life, and dealing with these things are not easy.”

This marked the BTS member's first live session since the Song Da-eun dating controversy.

In other news, BTS is rumored to be planning 65 concerts as part of their world tour, reportedly set to begin in May 2026 and continue through December 2026. Their comeback album is also expected to be released in Spring 2026.
