can I just say how proud I am of jimin’s character development?? seeing him strutting, serving face with that FAN towards the end of Idol honestly made me feel a thing?? like genuinely elicited an emotional response from me?? seeing him embracing the parts of his image that are fluid and delicate and soft and dare I say a little feminine was truthfully kind of empowering? it just seems like he’s finally playing to the strengths he once perceived as flaws. basically I’m just a proud Bi mom. 👏🏽

YES. ALL OF THIS, YES!

Especially since we know how much Jimin struggled with his image, particularly in the earlier part of his career. And over the years we’ve had the privilege to see him really grow out of the mold and become comfortable in his own skin. I’ve seen some people try to dismiss or downplay it, saying that “oh, it’s different in Korea” or “their definition of masculinity/femininity is different from the West.” ..No, what you see in K-pop =/= the norm in South Korea.

So to see Jimin embrace who he is.. being androgynous, showing off his feminine and masculine side all at once is just so… I’m happy for him. He owns who he is, doesn’t shy away from it at all. 

And honestly, this applies to everybody in the group. They all seem so comfortable of the men they’ve become and I couldn’t be more proud of them.
