BTS members never fail to bring laughter to their fans, even during everyday activities like working out. A recent discussion involving Jin and Jimin has taken over social media, with the group’s eldest member hilariously comparing Jimin’s gym noises to a rice cooker cooking rice.
The conversation originated from a live broadcast where Jin openly talked about the different workout styles among the BTS members. While Jin prefers quick and efficient gym sessions lasting around 30 minutes, he pointed out that Jimin’s approach is entirely different—and much louder.
Jin’s Rice Cooker Comparison Goes Viral
During the broadcast, Jin described how he works out in a straightforward manner. He said he does three chest exercises, then moves to shoulders, then abs, finishing everything in about 30 minutes. But when it came to Jimin, Jin had a much more creative description.
“But Jimin, when he works out, he’s like a rice cooker—‘ssshhhhh’—like that.”
Jin then added another playful comment: “Jimin, when you work out like that, I don’t know if you’re exercising or if the rice in the rice cooker is already cooked.”
The comparison quickly spread across fan communities, with many ARMYs finding the imagery both accurate and hilarious. Jin did not stop there. He continued teasing Jimin’s workout style, saying things like, “Jimin, that’s not how you work out,” and “You’re not lifting dumbbells, you’re lifting the Earth. You’re lifting air.”
Different Workout Styles Among BTS Members
The rice cooker comment highlights the contrasting approaches to fitness within the group. Jin mentioned that he keeps his gym sessions short and to the point, spending about 30 minutes before leaving. Jimin, on the other hand, appears to have a more vocal and prolonged workout routine that caught Jin’s attention.
This is not the first time the members have discussed their fitness habits. In previous behind-the-scenes content, Jimin has been seen working out and even inviting Jin to join him. Jin’s response to those invitations has always been consistent with his laid-back personality. When Jimin once asked, “Jin, do you work out?” Jin replied, “How could you ask such a question? I don’t do that.”
Instead of hitting the gym, Jin has often been seen playing games like Minesweeper on the computer while other members exercise. During the In the SOOP series, Jin made it clear that his idea of resting is very different from Jimin and RM’s. While they feel bored after doing nothing for a few days, Jin feels relaxed after simply enjoying his time and following his own ideas.
Fans React to the Hilarious Comparison
The rice cooker comment generated plenty of reactions across social media platforms. Fans found the comparison incredibly relatable and entertaining.
One fan commented, “Jimin really does make those sounds when he works out. Jin is not wrong.” Another wrote, “Jin always knows how to describe things in the funniest way possible. A rice cooker is perfect.” Many fans also pointed out that Jin’s teasing comes from a place of affection, as the two share a close bond.
Jin himself addressed this during the broadcast, saying, “When Jimin works out, I’m not bullying him. I’m just talking to him next to him.” He also mentioned that while he teases Jimin, he does not interrupt his workout. However, he noted that Jimin might feel otherwise, as he has started hiding his gym sessions from Jin.
Jimin’s Fitness Journey and Dedication
Jimin has consistently shown dedication to his physical fitness. He has been seen doing core workouts, pilates, and various gym exercises over the years. His efforts have not gone unnoticed, as fans regularly praise his toned physique and disciplined approach to health.
In April 2026, Jimin posted an Instagram reel showing off his dance moves, further demonstrating his commitment to staying in shape. He has also appeared on other YouTube channels, discussing fitness and even visiting Korean saunas with fellow member Jungkook.
The group as a whole has been focusing on their health, especially as they prepare for major events. BTS recently embarked on the Arirang world tour, marking their return to global stadiums after completing mandatory military service. They are also set to perform a special concert at Busan’s Asiad Main Stadium to celebrate their debut anniversary on June 13.
A History of Playful Teasing Among Members
The rice cooker comment is just one example of the playful dynamics within BTS. The members frequently tease each other, and fans have come to love these interactions. Jin, being the oldest, often takes on the role of the funny older brother who knows exactly how to get a reaction out of his younger bandmates.
In previous instances, Jungkook has also joked about his intense workout routine, saying he works out so much that Jimin might pass out every day. During a live broadcast with Jin, Jungkook’s comments left both Jin and viewers laughing. Jimin even responded at the time, adding to the humor.
These moments give fans a glimpse into the group’s chemistry and show that despite their global fame, they remain close friends who enjoy spending time together and having fun.
What This Says About BTS’ Bond
The way Jin talks about Jimin’s workout habits shows a level of comfort and familiarity that only comes from years of living and working together. Jin’s teasing is not meant to be mean—it is a sign of affection. He even mentioned during the broadcast that he and V (Taehyung) recently rode home together in the same car, and he felt like teasing him too.
Jin also clarified that he does not interrupt Jimin during his workouts, even though he jokes about it. He said, “When Jimin works out, I don’t disturb him. Hmm? I don’t know how he is when he works out, but at least when I work out, he doesn’t disturb me.” He then added with a laugh, “It feels like I’m a bit of a bad person, but I’m not that bad.”
The Rice Cooker Comment Takes Over Social Media
As expected, the rice cooker comparison quickly became a trending topic among ARMYs. Clips from the broadcast were shared widely, with fans creating memes and edits comparing Jimin’s gym sounds to various kitchen appliances.
The comment also reignited discussions about the different fitness approaches within BTS. While some members like Jungkook and Jimin are known for their intense gym sessions, others like Jin prefer a more relaxed approach. RM has also been seen working out, but he balances it with quiet activities like reading.
Fans appreciate these glimpses into the members’ personal lives. The recent series of YouTube vlogs released by BTS showed exactly that—RM reading, Jin working out at his own pace, Jimin packing luggage with his signature charm, and other members going about their daily routines. These videos remind fans that behind the global superstars are seven individuals with unique personalities and habits.
