BTS’ Jimin / Captured from Lee Soo-ji’s YouTube channel
Jimin of global K-pop sensation BTS is once again trending online — this time for an unexpected mix of discipline and chaos.
Within days, the singer drew attention for revealing his weight at 59.7 kilograms and appearing in a comedic YouTube dance video that quickly spread across social media, highlighting both his intense self-management and playful on-screen presence.
The viral clip, uploaded March 24 on the YouTube channel “Hot Issue Ji,” features Jimin acting as a ballroom dance instructor alongside comedian Lee Soo-ji. What begins as a standard lesson soon spirals into slapstick chaos.
As Jimin calmly demonstrates basic steps, Lee suddenly lifts him in a dramatic “princess carry,” catching him off guard. Jimin goes along with the moment, but when he later attempts the move himself, the noticeable size difference leads others on set to intervene.
“Don’t do it,” cast members can be heard saying, laughing, while warning, “You’ll hurt your back.”

The situation escalates as Lee repeatedly loses balance during bold dance attempts, ending up leaning on Jimin — turning the “lesson” into a running joke about being held rather than dancing.
Online reactions were immediate and enthusiastic, with fans flooding comments and social media feeds.
“Why is BTS working this hard again?” one user wrote.
“I can’t even imagine what kind of decision led Jimin here,” another said.
“Who sent Jimin into this chaos? I’m crying,” read a viral comment.
Others highlighted the rarity of the appearance, calling it “a precious solo YouTube moment.”

The buzz was amplified by Jimin’s recent personal updates. On March 25, he shared gym photos with bandmate V, showing the two in workout gear taking mirror selfies.
He also posted a photo of a scale reading “59.7 kg,” confirming his current weight — a detail that quickly became a trending topic among fans.
The reveal ties back to earlier comments from BTS’ March 20 comeback livestream, where members reflected on filming a Netflix documentary about their album production. “We all looked a bit chubby there,” they joked, discussing dieting efforts.
Jimin added that he had lost around 9 to 10 kilograms, a remark that has since fueled admiration — and concern — among fans tracking his transformation.
