BTS’s Jimin reveals his favorite nickname

Nicknames are often affectionate ways of referring to people close to you and those you like, without having to use their full name. In the relationship between fans and idols, this practice is also not very different.

Within k-pop, many artists ended up creating nicknames for the name of their own fandoms, such as Red Velvet, who tends to affectionately call their fans Luvies instead of Reveluvs, or EXO, who often refers to EXO-Ls as Eris.

Meanwhile, fans also have a series of cute and funny nicknames for their favorite idols, which can be inspired by names the artist has been called since he was little by his closest friends and family, or something that has happened recently. .

Jiminfrom BTS, for example, is among the stars who have a huge list of nicknames, such as Chimchim, Dooly, Mochi, and even Pequeno Príncipe.

During his appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in March 2023, while promoting his first solo album “FACE”, the BTS main dancer ended up revealing what his favorite nickname is among all the ones he has.

Surprising the presenter, the star ended up revealing that the nickname he likes most is “Jimin Fallon”, making a reference to one of BTS’s appearances on the program, where Suga suggested that Jimin he could become a television presenter, and be called “Jimin Fallon”.

At the moment, Jimin is performing his mandatory military service in the South Korean army. The idol is serving alongside Jungkook at the 5th Infantry Division recruit training center in Yeoncheon County, South Korea, the same unit where Jin also works.
