He never looked fat. He was fine from the get go.

I hate hate haaate how they would often feel the need to rank idols by looks. It just seems so toxic. Like what's the point?

I love how amazing he looks lately, bts definitely deserve this break!

Jimin journey is really motivating because it developed from self hatred , insecurities and negativity to self love and positivity. We often start our weight loss journey as self hatred of our body leading vicious cycle and get stuck and deteriorate ourself. But , Bts taught us by LOVE YOURSELF message to work on us . Jimin is a big part of it. We truly love our Jiminie for being too inspirational and comfort us .💜💜💜💜💜 Wow so much likes , thanks . I hope we can find happiness in whatever form we are . I think our happiness and well being matters the most not some crazy standards. Also recently I got to know , Jimin eats healthy and go on frequent diets to maintain his weight because as ballet or for his performance extra weight cause some hindrances so I think he thinks maintain as required. I think we all agree for dancing and performance weight some has effect on it. As long as he is happy and healthy, we should also be happy for him. 😊

as a 2015/16 army, i remember the constant talk during the run and bs&t eras abt how much weight he had lost and how concerned armys - esp international armys - were. i also remember when the interview where he said he only ate one meal in 10 days came out, it was like confirmation of what we were all kinda fearing i guess (how extreme his diet was), and it was just a really hard time as an army - because not only did we have confirmation of the extent of jimins dieting but this was also the time where there was so much hate regarding bts everywhere (korean media, western media, esp social media) and also so many fanwars that armys were constantly in the middle of - i really cant even imagine how jimin and the members felt through all of this. also as someone who has struggled with and been hospitalised for anorexia myself, one of my biggest fears was always people finding out and trying to help by offering me food ect because i found it very triggering and exposing, of course im not saying jimin went through this but i guess i worried about him in that sense aswell. i really cant imagine constantly hearing "gain weight" "we're worried about you" "please eat" ect from tens of thousands of people everyday while he seemed to also be going through this cycle of self hatred and criticism - and through all this, still receiving endless hate and insults from antis. of course we are only fans and we only know the members and their struggles through what they choose to share with us, and we will never truly know what he went through and the extent of it :(( anyways im not expecting anyone to read this little rant but it felt good to write, i love jimin and all the members dearly and always wish the best for them and hope they stay healthy :))

This is sad and hearing him referrer to himself as a pig is heartbreaking. I'm a new Army and didn't know about Jimin's struggle with his weight. Sadly I'll bet they all have their own struggles and yet they work hard to keep the good music and visuals coming. 💜

Jimin is in perfect shape. I wish he didn't feel so pressured to diet because he is loved just the way he is and he always will be xoxo

Honestly, he got backlash for talking about his diet but i applaud him for it. Many idols talk abt it as if its "the secret to weight loss" or as if its normal, Jimin always, ALWAYS, said that it was unhealthy and he didn't recommend it from the very first time he brought it up. He seems to be focusing a bit more on gaining muscle (I'm assuming based on his arm muscles lmao) but he seems to be extremely confident, and not that forced-feeling sense of confidence from 2013 when he was making jokes about being the "attractive one", but genuine confidence, the kind that begins inwards and radiates outwards, where you can tell he is secure within himself. It hasn't been easy, but he has most definitely become a healthy, graceful, beautiful swan filled with a deserved sense of confidence and self-assurance, and he deserves no less. What a brilliant role model. edit: when I talk about making jokes about being attractive, that in itself is not a bad thing- look at Jin, for instance, he jokes about it too but it comes across as a genuine part of his personality and humour and I do believe that he seriously thinks he is handsome (and he is). However, when jimin did it in 2013 it didn't feel authentic because it's not quite "him", you know? it felt a bit forced, but i genuinely think he believes he is handsome now.

This made me cry knowing how much he has struggled to become the person that he is today. These so called toxic fans should be neutralized! Who needs them ?!! Even today I see hate towards him!! I mean how can one hate this beautiful and humble person ?!! Haters! Go find something else to hate! Leave him. We love him and that’s enough!!

a lot of armys really like to say he's 'naturally' slim and brush everything under the rug while encouraging him to eat and rest well and they don't like to pay attention to his years of showing dangerous behaviors in order to achieve a certain look... i hope he continues to truly prioritize his health !!!! and i hope all the armys who praise his 'natural' body remember that it may be somewhat natural, but is also a result of a lot of work on his part which is both a testament to his determination and a reason to not overdo the praise for his body, since it can give the impression that he has to keep it looking a certain way in order to receive love thanks for the vids and ofc jimin as always is such a wonderful singer so it was lovely to hear him in the clips

I just love Jimin. He has the sweetest heart and soul. It breaks my heart that he worried so much about gaining or losing weight. Even worse I hate that people would hate him for being too skinny or too overweight. Everyone's weight goes up and down. I hope Jimin found the perfect balance for himself and not others. He is beautiful inside and out. To me Jimin is the sweetest angel on earth and I just want him to be happy with himself. Jimin you are perfect!!!!!!!

It's so heartbreaking to look back at the early days, when Jimin was probably an absolutely normal weight for a boy his age, and hear him calling himself fat. He was still maturing and the expectation for him to look like a man right out of the gate is such a lot of pressure for a child. I also think back and feel sorry, not only for Jimin, but Jungkook too, who was always put in a position where he had to rank the members looks. Knowing how much he loves all his brothers it must have been awful to constantly be made to "rank" his members looks while knowing the toll it took on Jimin's mental health. I'm just glad that Jimin seems happy and healthy these days, and has even put on a bit more muscle which I'm happy about not for aesthetic reasons, but because gaining more strength may be improving the chronic shoulder and back issues he's had.

y’all gotta let this discourse go 💀 jimin is 100% healthy and happy now and its time to stop bringing the past up as if he isn’t a grown man fully aware of whats best for him

I feel sad and heartbroken when he referred himself as “pig”. I realized how cruel the entertainment world could be. He was so young back then

It hits you a little harder after watching FACE's promo videos where he once again talks about the 50Kg limit. And compared weeks later he seems to be getting back to a healthy weight. It saddens me deeply that he still has to deal with this, although I understand that the pressure not only from the music industry but also from Korean society makes it difficult for anyone to heal or maintain themselves out of toxic standards, especially with the return of trends from the 2000s. I hope that not only he was, but all idols, artists and people going through health problems can find themselves in a healthy way without the need for something so extreme, dangerous and painful. May in the future this become just a forgotten painful memory, and only the love and care of those around you can revitalize you. Hopefully the best moment will come, 2016 was a very intense and terrible period for BTS and ARMY, may we walk a better and more comfortable path 💜

I have a LOT of respect and admiration for Jimin. He is one of these fabulous achievers with incredible willpower. Nothing was given to him. He knew what he wanted and he did everything to get there. I don't know anyone who would not like to change "something" about themselves. 80% of us do nothing...however Park Jimin didn't hesitate. He is fantastic!

As a baby army I remember looking through the MVs and performance from oldest to newest. Except for the extreme abs (it was so defined and covered in tanner!) from the No More Dream era, I hardly noticed Jimin's body changes. What really stands out is his stage presence, his charisma, his talent. It was never his body fat percentage or abs that made Jimin special. I wish someone could've told him that when he was eating one meal a day. I wish he knew.

I loved Jimin as soon as I laid my eyes on him, without knowing anything about him, without having seen him dance, without having seen him sing, without having seen him laugh or cry. I loved him instantly and irretrievably. Whatever his appearance, whatever his look, whatever his weight, it doesn't change anything, nothing... He is, and will remain for me and millions of armies, the most handsome man in the world! because Jimin is not only a dream body, he is also an immense heart and an extraordinary empathy. You have to be inherently evil or crazy not to like him.

I was actually waiting for this video. Watching, I felt the surge of panic that was surrounding Jimin during 2016. I still remember the bodyshaming regarding him losing his abs 2015. There's awareness now, but even in 2016-2017, it actually took a look time for people to realize that Jimin was suffering a severe eating disorder. I remember how uncomfortable it felt watching their BS&T MV reaction. During this time, Jimin criticized himself every chance he got and you could feel the concern from the other members always praising him. Jimin practiced his Lie performance but wasn't happy with his performance. When the members watched their debut stage, Jimin wasn't happy and nostalgic but self-critical and filled with regret. Fans treated his 10 day diet as a phase, something to imitate or jole about. They compared it to Momo's ice diet, except Momo was forced, while Jimin was suffering ED for a long time. Despite not being considered one of the visual holes in the group, the pressure on Jimin was insane. It feels good to see he finally seems more stable now and has a lot of support from his parents and the other members. Jimin was in a really serious situation, right in the public eye, and many people didn't even bat an eye because he's a guy. But he said he would be drinking by himself, hate himself and have dark thoughts. It's scary. It's a miracle how people can trivialize and overlook such extreme red flags. I wish Jimin the very best and hope he remains happier and satisfied with himself, his talent and his hard work. I'm so proud seeing how far he's come and that he accepted help and comfort from the outside and did a lot of self-reflecting. This is a very difficult cycle to break free of.

Jimin's story is one of the most extreme that I've heard. I've been a fan for almost four years now and I had heard about his extreme dieting. When I first saw them perform in 2019 Jimin seemed very happy on stage. It's great to see how passionate he's become about "Love Myself" even to the point of passing on the message during I-Land. It's not easy to hear about the different pressures and criticisms they've faced. A lot of the BTS members including Jimin have said that they started going to the gym more during the pandemic and the work they've put in shows. The enthusiasm that Jimin showed for it in an interview sounds like he's really felt good about it and not pressured into it. When I saw PTD day's 1&2 in Las Vegas. He looked healthy, happy, and was taking every opportunity he could to show he was enjoying himself even to the point of saying "I'm not ready for the next song, I need to hear ARMY scream first." All I could ever ask from any of them is that they're happy and healthy.

Everyone needs to realize that this behavior with his weight probably started way before he was ever in BTS as a contemporary dancer. Dancers are expected to have a certain body type and it's very common to have body issues and dieting issues with in the dancing community especially at the level that he performed at

Eating disorders are very serious. I am so proud he has the support needed and his brothers and family. There is too much pressure for perfection. Jimin looks fantastic.

"Why do so many fans worry about me? Don't worry." This really broke my heart; how does he expect us to not worry, we look up to him, obviously we'll worry I'm glad he's realized how harsh he has been on himself both physically and mentally, over the years. Even though, this has made him stronger and more enduring, his diet and lifestyle were extremely dangerous, to the point he underwent so many drastic changes in so little time. Please take care of yourself, Jimin; nothing's more important than your health and wellbeing! 💜

As an Army I don't care if any of the seven members are "skinny", "muscular", "fat", or whatever as long as they are healthy and happy with their body and life. Like seriously the body changes with the amount of work and stress. How on earth can people expect them to maintain and remain the same? Seriously... And I'm sad Jimin or any other member had to go through this. I just hope they be happy with their success and lead a fruitful life ♥️.

지민이에 대해 알면 알수록 정말 외유내강이라는 말이 생각나네. 그럼에도 항상 춤과 노래에 대해 노력하고, 팬들에게 보답하기 위해서 최선을 다하고... 또 팀을 위해서 자신을 변화시키고 어울리고 헌신하고. 시간이 지나고 보니, 울 지민이 참 대단했네. 17년도 중간쯤부터 많은 변화에도 아미만 보고 견디고, 현재까지 수많은 일들에 용감하게 대응하고... 울 지민이 팬들은 다 아니까, 앞으로 골드로드만 걷자! 🤟💜🤟

My heart is hurting whenever I think of the members feeling hurt💔 Jimin is and was always perfect as he is/was. ❤️ Jimin, you are and will always be the light of my life. I hope you are feeling good now❤️

So so sooo happy to read that he got the talk with his parents to feel his real him People can be so cruel I am very happy that he now understands that toxic people have to be removed from one’s life in order to really live the fullest of his life Thanks for the video, I love this young man so much As much as I love all of them

I love it when Jimin is healthy and happy. That's all I need.

jimin is such a natural beauty and it makes me so sad to hear him (and all of the members) talk about needing to loose weight.

It's, not easy to be a PARK JIMIN.. What jimin achieved today is truly because of his hardworks his looks, dance, vocal everything.. I would he is the most criticized member till now.. But my boy take those criticisms like a pro.. Now look at him He is korea's IT BOY... His journey is really motivational 🥺❤

Красавец ЧИМИН ! Не мучай себя так диетами !❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

recently all of bts have been dieting in more and more extreme ways. the way they’re talking about weight recently, especially jungkook, is really worrying

С дебюта группы, Чимин, самый накачанный был , бицепсы, крепкие бёдра и икры ! 😍😍😍💪💪💪

Acho que só na Coreia criticam Jimin, porque para nós fãs estrangeiros, o Jimin nunca foi gordo, sempre foi lindo. E com o passar dos anos foi se tornando cada vez mais lindo e sexy. É o membro mais atraente e sensual do BTS.🔥😍💜❤️💋🔥🔥🔥🐥

I already knew Jimin's weight loss and weight gain journey but watching this video still puts me to tears. He really deserves only the best things in life with how much hard work he does for his fans and group.

He looks amazing now, I hope he’s happy within himself 💜 I was anti worried over Dynamite era tbh, in the practise video he was insanely skinny. Its hard to not slip back into restricting, I know from personality experience but he seems more confident and happy these days 💜

Dude was never fat nor chubby. He always looked good to me. Abs or no abs, muscles or no muscles, he always looked good. Yeah there were times where I felt he was a little skinny, and seeing video of him fainting did concern me and made me heartbroken, but I'm glad his members finally stepped in and started to help him as well.

"I'm fat and my face isn't cute." 😳😫😢😢😢 said the most beautiful boy in the world. And he is dieting now again, 2023 and is talking about how he wish he could eat. 😢 It doesn't seem to matter that millions of Armies adore him. Other voices scream higher and unfortunately Kpop culture is focusing too much on size. The lack of sleep is very serious and unhealthy for young boys and they all seem to lack it, still, although it's probably better now on their hiatus. Jimin says he has no hobbies but likes to rest on his sofa. We all want him to be happy and healthy. I sincerely pray for it. His album Face is naked, raw and I feel he poured his heart out in it. Set me free pt 2 is very revealing and metaphoric. The choreography, the scene of a panopticon prison with Jimin as the tower in the middle, the poem on his chest, all speak about him being bullied, ppl point fingers and they all see him, the tower, but they don't see the real Jimin inside the tower. The T-shirt with Stockholm in Like Crazy, probably referring to the Stockholm syndrome; he love the fans, wants to be on stage and "Lost in the lights", but at the same time that persona/role hurts him. It's like he is put in a golden cage, limited yet depending on the praise of others...

Ranking people is an unforgivable thing to do especially to a young teen. Rating beauty only by what your eyes see, is shallow, unrealisitc and leads to nothing but self-loathing and insecurities. True beauty shines from the inside out. Jimin is a beautiful person on the inside, and it glows to the outside. As he aged, his looks grew to match what he is on the inside. It was always there.

Jimin is the face of BTS. He was the First one that struck & hit me with his visual like a truck when I first got to know BTS. He needs to tc of himself. He doesn’t know how precious & important he is for BTS!

Чимин милый добрый красивый, не смотря на хейтеров, на злых, не адекватных, Чимин остался добрым, милым🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤Чимин прошёл через трудности, преодолел, теперь он сильный, повзрослел, добился своим трудом, настойчивостью таких высот, признаний миллионов поклонников🙏🙏🙏до сих пор не могут успокоиться злыдни, гложет их зависть, собственное бессилие🥵не пойму их, не нравится, не смотри 🤒Чимин, человек с огромным добрым сердцем, поэтому бог будет всегда на его стороне🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💥💥💥💥💥💥💥Чимин красавец, талантливый, восхитительный, безупречный, обоятельный, сногсшибательный 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏💥💥💥🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤💪💪💪

I am really happy for Jimin. He was not in a happy place in the past but I am glad he is better now. I want him to always be happy and thriving.

Fat or thin it doesn't matter to us armies for loving him.💜He is our jiminiee forever.

his honesty reached a lot of people- including me. his journey is inspiring and it makes me realize that i need to be kinder to myself too. the real fans don't care about an idol's weight or looks they just want them to be healthy and happy.

Audience in general is so freakin obsessed that an idol must follow how they deemed him to be. If you think about it, Jiminie being a member of BTS scarred him a lot. Some might take it as a constructive criticism, but it can trigger trauma. Altough Jimin's efforts and sacrifices paid off, he seemed more self-conscious nowadays. I hope this time Jimin is happy of what he is now and what he has become. Whether or not Jiminie have abs, it doesn't matter. What matters is his happiness and being able to do what he loves the most. Borahe Chim-chim! 💜

Jimin looks so much healthier. So happy for him 😍 I wonder if them coming to America played a role in him becoming more healthier

I never knew how bad it was and we are so lucky Jimin is stronger than he thinks he was or even is since all the negativity he received could have ended badly ... I can't imagine not having a beautiful soul like Jimin around. From the last LV VLive I see now why JHope still tells Jimin don't diet.

It breaks my heart every time to listen Jimin say he has gotten fat or needs to lose weight and doesn't look good enough. I just wish I could remind him that his weight has nothing to do with the beautiful person he is and has become, and he looks amazing regardless. I'm so happy he's taking care of himself now

this made me cry so many times it’s still heartbreaking he felt like that and hopefully he’s being honest and is really doing better now

I´m so sorry he had to go through all that because he is such a beautiful soul. I´m relieved he now looks so much happy and healthier.

I am so glad that Jimin has evolved throughout his weight journey from being overly self-critical and obsessed with weight loss through destructive dieting methods to rebuilding a healthy relationship with food and his body image. He is the living testament to the hardships of his recovery process to prioritize his health and rewire his toxic mindset about himself. He stands by his principle to love yourself by accepting every aspect of your body and mind and putting yourself first. He serves as an inspiration to his fans because it makes him more relatable to them; it portrays how even an idol like him, who seems perfect in every shape and form, can harbor such tremendous emotional strains and struggles with his body image. His self-perception was distorted by the influence of the negative comments and diet culture surrounding him in the industry, which blinded him from realizing the damage he was doing to his body. But when fans began to notice his drastic weight loss, he decided to change. Despite the toxic comments that targeted his past mistakes and insecurities, his focus on the positive comments and the members' support has helped him tremendously, reframing his mindset to take care of his health and treat himself kindly. The Love Myself message has been a saving grace for not only the fans but for the members, especially Jimin, which attests to the power and strength of the message. People will always implicate their public impressions of an idol. An idol can never satisfy everyone's preferences because everyone has different opinions and standards. How can one gain lose weight? It is simply impossible. So why not do the things that make you happy? Ultimately, your life is yours to carve, even for people in the public eye. Jimin is such a living inspiration because he not only shows his humanness, but I can see a piece of myself in him, the person who, too, had voices too loud to silence in their dull mind and body that became an empty shell, screaming for salvation.

I m an army from their pre debut and i am a jimin biased aswell.. I exactly know what he was going through.. It always breaks my heart to see him getting bullied by fans for either being 'too slim'or 'too fat'like what if he lost his abs??! He is a fuckin human.. Let the boy live peacefully.. This stupid delulus are just making each and every idol restless.. Now that i m happy he is getting the love he deserves from his true fans and he is confident,happy about himself.. Jimin ah no matter how u look... We love you.. I will always love you jiminie💜You are the most perfect man i have ever seen from the very start.. Every idol is perfect in their own way,no one is ugly here.If someone looks ugly in ur eyes that means u r the one with ugly eyes... U r probably just seeing ur own reflection.

Jimin &Jungkook are perfect just the way they are. I hope they enjoy their food keep healthy and ignore any negative comments.

NGL, I got a little misty eyed... He's so strong... Was going through all this still smiling like the angel he is... 🥺

Im glad his feeling better with in himself. He is adorable and a caring soul

Jimin was and is always perfect as he is. He didn't and still doesn't need to change or worry about his looks/weight/height,... JUST BE YOURSELF, JIMIN, THEN YOU GET REAL FANS WHO ACCEPT U HOW U ARE!

Jimin tiene un cuerpo de infarto, una cara de angel y una sonrisa que rompe corazones, no necesita estar matándose de hambre, todos los fans lo quieren por su talento y carisma, es una bella persona en todos los sentidos, espero que su compañía y algunos fans que se creen con derecho de opinar sobre la apariencia de los artistas, paren con tanto control y críticas, dañan la autoestima de las personas eso no está bien.

Really like the part Jin and RM having meal with Jimin, you can feel how they love and care about him🥹 Love u all, you guys always the best💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Whaaat??? I’ve always thought that Jimin by far was the most handsome one. I mean by a very long shot. I also think he is the most universally talented. But it’s true that creative geniuses can struggle with serious depression and be overly critical of themselves. The guy has it all though. I hope he sees it now.

Also when I found that video of jimin calling himself a "fat pig " I cried because he was only a teenager and he shouldn't have even been worried about those things at that age

I cried while watching this it broke my heart 🤧 I hope he understands that he's perfect in everyway

I think it is safe to say that he has struggled with his self-image and food severely throughout his career. And I am so glad he survived and hope he gets the support he needs. Jimin is so beautiful inside and out. We love BTS because of the hard work they put into their music and performance and still find the time to nurture their relationship with their fanbase. A lot of artists of their caibre don't do that anymore. 💜 Hearing Jimin call himself a pig is just heartbreaking to me.

The update is finally here, thank you all for being so patient!

Jiminssi forever and ever Perfect, unique ,so wonderful picture,so sweet My angel Jiminssi ❤️🤟👑

So sad...I wish Jimin could see what a beautiful person he is - both inside and out. He's an amazing young man who I truly admire. He and the rest of the boys are way too hard on themselves. I love them so much! Thank you for sharing Jimin's story. *Borahae*

I'm so proud of him- its not easy to be in the spotlight and still be able to hold yourself together and speak up against the haters. We love u Jimin💜

0:55 sec make me cry... Jimin you are not fat you are the cutest boy ever!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

It always would break my heart to see how Jimin never thought he was good enough, I wish he could see how much we love him and are proud of him. In their last concert I was so happy to see Jimin in a good place, he seemed happy and confident. 💜💜💜

jimin your a wonderful person. lovely…adorable. ..love yourself. we love you💜💜💜

I can't imagine the types of pressures and scrutiny they had to go through. And are probably still going through

Jimin I wanna say to you I love u the way U LOVE YOURSELF .I will never stop supporting u whether u will be thin or fat , abs or not ..I will just support u u till the very end

You are enough, a thousand times enough

I'm glad this was discussed. For the longest time it felt like people were just ignoring the fact that he was wasting away more and more since around the BST Era. Seriously, he'd be half the size he used to be, but all people did was compliment how he looked (and I don't mean they had to say to his face how skinny he was, I mean in social media in general he was praised for his looks when he was clearly struggling, and fans celebrating it I'm sure didn't help). All I saw for years was people looking the other way about his health, complimenting the looks and pretending he wasn't getting dangerously skinny bc he said he was "eating well". He clearly wasn't, up until the last maybe two years, perhaps the pandemic put some perspective on things for him, or he had enough rest to prioritize mental health. But damn, for years all I saw was a ghost of what Jimin used to be when they first debuted. I'm so, so happy he seems to be doing better and clearly his bandmates, and parents, and people around him loved him enough to not let him continue down that dangerous self hatred path. You go Jiminie ❤️

I also hate the fact that even when Jimin said he was trying to do better and was trying to gain weight, "Army's" were still talking about how he needed to look. Like... OKAY!! He gets it now, and he knows what he did was dangerous!!! There's no need to bring up how he should look even when he told everybody that he was doing better. Chill out now, PLEASE.

The Jimin in 2013 was really special. His cheeks were as fluffy as mochi. Miss that JIMIN. But the new jimin is handsome and cute as always. I think being healthy is more important than being handsome. So it is okay until he's healthy. 💜💜💜💜💜

우리 지민이 훌륭하고 경이롭다~ 너의 미래를 항상 응원할께~

지민이 통통한 얼굴 너무 사랑스러워 미치겠다. 도대체 살을 왜 빼냐고? 그렇게 살을 빼버리면 힘이 없어서 어떻게 하냐고? 살을 적당히 빼야지. 2015년과 2016년 사진 비교에서 2015년이 적당해 보인다.

I do not understand why some people are so cruel, they do not stop to think just a little bit how they feel😥💔 when you made negative comments against them. They never hurt you, they do not do anything to you, if you do not like them do not follow them, let them be happy, let them work and do what they love to do.

Watching again good old days Ripped Jimin is awesome

I was so sad when people said he was lying since he said he tried to get better. He was probbaly really stressed and people saying bad shit wasn’t helping. It can be hard to put on weight even if you’re trying when you’re stressed or dealing with stuff

He’s such a sweet soul. Breaks my heart to know he went through so much suffering

I'm glad the members and loyal fans was with him throughout all these hardships. I've always admired jimin for how he is. I'm thankful to his parents too for supporting him and giving him motivation. I also struggles with eating problems and depression and I myself don't have that support from my parents or any friend But bts and specially armies are a really great support. Armies and bts may not know me personally but they had helped me many times during my bad episodes and negative emotions. Thank you armies for always being there for me. It really get me going on for one more day instead of giving up

I would like to offer my perspective on this discussion as someone who suffered for years from anorexia. Firstly, this is not a yes or no question. Has Jimin suffered from an eating disorder? Maybe, maybe not - and I don't just mean that to say he hasn't confirmed or denied it. Eating disorders are complex; the diagnostic criteria change over time with new research. Secondly, there is an enormous grey area between a diagnosed ED and a "healthy" mind. Think of it this way: a diagnosis is just a framework for treatment - there is no steadfast, neurological or physical line one must cross to warrant a diagnosis. For example, there was a good six months of my life when I was developing ED patterns, but had not yet become medically anorexic. Did this mean I was not suffering, or that the anxiety and pain I felt was not legitimate? No! Similarly, during recovery, I've made leaps and bounds toward better health and no longer consider myself "anorexic," but I still have moments where it all comes back and I suffer as a result. Jimin has obviously experienced disordered eating, whether or not he ever met the criteria of a diagnosis. Likely, he was/is living in that grey area, which is still a horrible place to be and requires its own intervention. My point is this: no one can say that he has had an eating disorder, but it's also ridiculous to claim he has not for any reason. Some of you guys are very defensive towards people who say he had an ED, and honestly, it's irrelevant. What matters is how he felt, if he suffered, if this was a source of legitimate mental and physical pain, and that he's doing better now. Don't assume, don't get defensive, and remember to take care of yourselves! Just because someone lives in that grey area doesn't make them undeserving of treatment and support.

This almost made me cry. I remember back then seeing him and seeing how he spoke about himself. I'm glad he's better now.

He looks great right now, always does but now he seems very healthy and very happy !!

I love jimin to the moon and back.. it's really heartbreaking to watch this video. I don't know what he went through. I hope he is doing well now

his transition from hatred to self love is beautiful to see. he mentioned that younger him was too fixated on being percieved as manly but now he doesnt care for being masculine and does whatever he wants. he seems to not really gaf about dieting and how his body looks as hes grown and matured and consequently developed a healthier mindset. im really happy for him and find his journey really inspiring

💜Baby 💜Mochi💜is 💜 just💜so 💜cute💜at💜everything💜he💜does💜💋💋

I hated seeing Jimin's past struggles with all his insecurities ( voice, image, etc). Glad he's gotten past this because he is such a beautiful person inside and out💜💜💜

Jimin-ah is miraculous he work so hard such a inspiration.He look always cute and handsome gain the weight and lose the weight no change the difference because his character. He was really kind, cute and handsome. sarange Jimin-ah 💜💛

Jimin is a good man and a wonderful entertainer. Fans should want him to take care of his health more than anything so he can keep making music. Working as hard as he does, losing too much weight can lead to serious health problems and lower quality performances because he won't have enough energy. Let the man live.

Don’t want to point fingers but at this point i think Jungkook is the one that’s being obsessed with loosing weight. His live in Vegas he talked about getting thinner. Also they vlive with jimin, V & JHope; Jimin was apologizing for eating (although it was a big meal and it was late) and not going to excersice with JK. I can’t believe that they don’t have nutritionist and therapists that travel with them. Jeez the stress they are under it’s a miracle they are not all suffering from depression and/or anxiety.

Wow!! I am reading many of the comments left, and let me just say that I was truly moved by the stories shared, and the concern and support for Jimin. I myself honestly because I'm a BTS fan in general I have always thought the boys look great, some looks suit some members more than others, but all I have ever cared is about their health. To all the fans that throughout the years have made their concern over this issue I thank you so much. Thank you for this video, I hope a lot of people understand now why so many fans are so protective of him.

I love my Jimin and I’m happy that he finally understood that he can reach out and get help no matter what the problem may be. He really looks happier and healthier. Stay strong my Jimin you are not alone. Love my Jimin 💜💜💜💜💜

I feel like we forget that they are people too. Just like you and I. A lot of other women, men, and everything in between have gone through the same thing. His story is very motivating and inspiring. Like one of their most popular album says, "Love Yourself!" 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Jimin got me so scared when he lost alot of weight quickly. He looked gaunt and weak. I understand there's unreasonable pressure in KPop to look a certain way. I feared he had an eating disorder or was sick. He often has stomach upset and pain. Then he had appendicitis. But now he is at a much healthier looking weight. I'm so relieved.

I think he though that he needed to loose weight at first, because they didn’t have as much fans as they have now and they needed to give a good first impression but now that they have fans all over the world we now how perfect he is I mean he so kind so pure and sooo talented even if gains so much weight it won’t do anything. I hope that he is and we’ll be doing fine. WE LOVE YOU JIMIN!

Jimin is best in every era ❤️😘😘😘💜 love him soo much

He is pressured by his group mates too..I cried when I heard them saying things about his weight. They need to receive therapy as well to know how to encourage him to not dive in unhealthy behaviors to loose weight.

I could never be an idol. Having to be perfect in my looks and appearance, getting hate from fans because I'm not pretty enough for them... people assuming I'm lazy because my body doesn't look like a goddess 24/7. These fans have no idea how much their words effect these idols 🥺
