Even while serving in the military, BTS’s Jimin manages to spark conversation online, this time in connection with Ryan Gosling’s recent performance at the 2024 Oscars.

Eagle-eyed fans spotted a hilarious detail that linked the two celebrities. During the ceremony, Gosling delivered a memorable performance of “I’m Just Ken” from the live-action “Barbie” movie. While his energetic stage presence and eye-catching pink suit won praise, some ARMYs (BTS fans) couldn’t help but notice something peculiar – something was missing, and they jokingly blamed Jimin!

The connection? Gosling’s outfit, a striking pink shirt, looked remarkably similar to the one Jimin wore in BTS’s hit music video “Permission to Dance.”

Social media quickly buzzed with comparisons between the two stars. The playful online exchange even reached Gosling himself! Through social media, the actor sent a special message to Jimin, acknowledging the outfit similarity and offering him a special gift – his guitar from the “Barbie” performance.

Jimin, ever the enthusiastic fan, responded with delight. In a heartwarming message, he thanked Gosling for the “outfit compliment” and expressed his excitement about the “Barbie” movie. He also shared his appreciation for the guitar, promising to treasure it.

Given the missing guitar during Gosling’s performance, fans had a field day. Many jokingly suggested that Ken (Gosling’s character) couldn’t play his guitar because it was now in Jimin’s possession. Videos of Jimin receiving the special gift circulated widely, adding to the lighthearted online banter.

With Jimin currently serving his mandatory military service, fans can only dream about a future collaboration between the two stars. Perhaps, upon his discharge, Jimin can return the guitar, paving the way for a special on-stage moment with Ryan Gosling – a dream come true for ARMYs worldwide.
