BTS continued their ARIRANG World Tour with a second show at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts on August 6, 2026. After an electrifying first night, the group returned to the stage for another packed performance. While the entire show delivered high-energy moments, one detail quickly became the talk of social media: Jimin‘s new braided hairstyle.
Fans attending the concert and those watching clips online could not stop talking about the BTS member‘s look. Jimin has been experimenting with different hair styles throughout the ARIRANG tour, and the Foxborough Day 2 show gave everyone a fresh style to admire.
Jimin’s Braided Look Takes Over Social Media
During the Foxborough Day 2 concert, Jimin appeared on stage with his hair styled in braids. The look added a new touch to his already famous long blonde hair, which he has been showing off during the ARIRANG world tour. Fans at the stadium and online quickly shared photos and videos, making the hairstyle one of the most discussed moments of the night.
Social media platforms lit up with posts about Jimin‘s appearance. One fan on X described the look as “too pretty” and shared clips from the soundcheck. Another fan posted, “Jimin’s braided hair is so beautiful, we must collect every moment”. The excitement was clear across multiple platforms, with hashtags related to Jimin and his braids gaining attention.
Jimin has been changing his hair at almost every stop of the ARIRANG tour. From loose waves to ponytails and now braids, he keeps giving fans something new to admire. The Foxborough Day 2 braided style stood out because it gave him a soft yet strong stage presence that matched the concert‘s energetic vibe.
The ARIRANG Tour Continues to Impress
The ARIRANG World Tour marks BTS‘s return after a four-year break. The group released their album ARIRANG in March 2026 and has been performing across North America. The Foxborough shows were the group’s first performances at Gillette Stadium, and they delivered two nights of music that left fans amazed.
The Boston Globe described the concert as “overwhelming in the best possible way”. The review noted that BTS proved they still have their magic and that it has matured into something even more compelling. The setlist included songs from the new album like Body to Body, FYA, and SWIM, along with hits like Butter and Dynamite.
The Foxborough Day 2 concert also featured other memorable moments. During the performance of No More Dream, Jungkook lifted Jimin in a move that sent the crowd into a frenzy. V reminded the two members to do the lift, and the stadium erupted in screams when it happened. One fan wrote on social media: “13 YEARS LATER… JUNGKOOK AND JIMIN’S ICONIC LIFT DURING ‘NO MORE DREAM’”.
Fans React to Jimin‘s Evolving Style
Jimin has been drawing attention throughout the ARIRANG tour for his changing hairstyles. He first showed off his long blonde hair during the group’s comeback performance in March at Gwanghwamun Square. Since then, he has tried different styles at each concert stop.
In Las Vegas, he appeared with the top part of his long blonde hair braided, which quickly made JIMIN BRAIDS trend on social media. The style inspired countless fan recreations on TikTok and other platforms. Fans even gave him the nickname TrendsetterMin for his influence on hair trends.
The Foxborough Day 2 braids continued this pattern of keeping fans excited about his look. One fan wrote on a blog: “Today, look at our Jimin‘s hair! Is he a doll? It’s so pretty that it feels unreal”. Another fan compared him to a “porcelain doll crafted by a master in medieval France”. The reactions showed how much fans appreciate his attention to style.
Billboard also took notice of Jimin‘s hair during the tour. In a review of the MetLife Stadium performance, the magazine highlighted his silver hair as one of the key moments and used the subtitle Jimin Goes Gray and Slays. The magazine noted that his hair remained glossy and voluminous throughout the performance. Less than two weeks after he styled his long blonde hair into a ponytail for the World Cup final halftime show, he appeared with long silver hair.

What Made the Foxborough Show Special
The Foxborough stop was significant for BTS because it marked their New England debut. The two-night run at Gillette Stadium gave fans in the area their first chance to see the group live.

They also performed older tracks like Fake Love and RUN, which got the crowd singing along loudly. During the song they don’t know ’bout us, the group sang: “You said we changed? We feel the same”.
Fans who attended the concert shared their excitement online. One fan wrote: “I flew 16 hours to hear this voice. Foxborough, I‘m really glad I came”. Another fan shared their joy at finally seeing the No More Dream lift live, saying: “Jungkook, Jimin, go over there! Even without music, shall we do it?!”.
BTS plans to continue their world tour in the Middle East and Japan after completing their North American schedule. With each stop, fans can expect more memorable performances and, if Jimin keeps his pattern, more new hairstyles to admire.
