BTS's Jimin captivated fans around the world with a dazzling performance in the pouring rain.

BTS kicked off its world tour, 'Arirang,' on the 9th at the main stadium of Goyang Sports Complex. Although heavy rain poured from the start of the show, Jimin seemed completely unfazed and filled the stage with an all-out performance, heightening his presence on stage.

Jimin's long blond hair, which drew attention at the Gwanghwamun performance, was soaked by the rain that day, creating an even more mysterious atmosphere. In particular, his wet hair flowing along the contours of his face, combined with the fantasy mood of his black leather styling, even earned him the nickname 'Northern Grand Duke.'

His ever-changing vocal tone and expressive delivery in each song were also overwhelming. Moving freely from delicate, emotional mid-low tones to explosive high notes, he drew gasps from the audience with a live performance that was even more perfect than the recorded track. On stage, Jimin shone with an almost godlike presence, going beyond a mere performer to dominate the stage itself.

During the concert, Jimin lightened the mood with a humorous remark: "My underwear is soaked through, so I guess I'll just have to walk. The water keeps flowing all the way here," naturally weaving an awkward situation into part of the performance and connecting with the fans.

Even at the rain-soaked concert, Jimin's unshakable, powerful presence sent SNS trending with hashtags and phrases such as '#ThankYouJiminForTheAmazingStage', 'THANK YOU JIMIN', and 'JIMIN STAGE COMMANDER,' while cheers poured in like "Jimin returned from the Northern Lion Dance to the Northern Grand Duke," "Goddess Jimin even in the rain," and "His very existence is paradise."

Meanwhile, BTS completed the stage together with the audience who stayed until the very end in the rain, closing the day's performance with 'Into the Sun,' in which Jimin participated, as the finale of their full 23-song set.
