“Our ARMYs are Leaving BTS Because of me…?”
BTS Jimin Struggles and Insecurities
[Transcription]
Our Mochi Jiminie is the most insecure member of BTS when it comes to his body. As we know back during their debut era Jiminie had well defined abs. Everyone loved them. But gradually as time passed Jimin started loosing his abs which led to the disappointment of some “ARMY”. Some fans started leaving the fandom due to Jimin loosing his “signiture look”. Negative body image and low self esteem made Jimin start starving himself to loose the “fat”. He would eat small portions of food and wouldn’t eat before or after rehearsals. The constant pressure of trying to “fit” into society caused Jimin to feel insecure on a daily basis to the point where the members literally told Jimin to start eating healthy on broadcast which also enlightened ARMY just how out of control Jimin’s diet was. Abs are a nice thing to have and to see but majority of ARMY fans rather see Jimin on the healthy and eating what he wants. True loving Army fans knows that he does not need to alter his body just to please this demanding society. The world is a dark and cruel place and doesn’t give mercy to anyone. Many ARMY’s hearts were broken when he said that he wanted to eat a lot of food but often restrain himself to maintain his abs for Army’s. Thankfully Jimin is no longer starving himself. Back in 2015 Jimin at a fan meeting told everyone not to look forward to any abs because he will be eating lots of delicious food. He also told us to love his flat tummy. Which over fills me with joy. Jimin who struggled with his body image is now accepting that he can eat, gain weight and still feel happy about himself. Bragging about his flat tummy. Whether Jimin has abs or not, he is still the same Jimin. I have not touched based on all their struggles and Jimin’s one was relatively small but thats because they are the ones that have been glued to my mind for a long time. Through their personal struggles this just further tells us that our Idols are exactly like us. They have fears, they struggle, they are insecure and most of all they are Human. People tend to think Idols live such a luxurious and a struggle free life but that is just a fantasy, not knowing the daily struggles they face. Sometimes when we have a problem, we tend to feel alone but actually we’re not. Jimin is handsome, talented, successful, and popular — everything that both men and women his age strive to be. However, the BTS star shockingly opened up about his struggles in loving himself. Jimin shared something that made him very relatable. Jimin said, “We were telling people to ‘Love Yourself,’ but I realized that I wasn’t doing that myself, I criticized myself wondering if I’m doing good and what I’m working so hard for.” He then added, ”There were times when I drank by myself in my room and had many thoughts. I realized that I’ve been mean to myself rather than growing up for the past two and a half year.” He shared that he followed a strict diet during the BTS’s “Blood Sweat & Tears” era and admitted that he would go days without eating. The BTS singer added that the other members, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, V, and Jungkook had invited him to eat, but he would decline to shed off the pounds as quickly as possible. Jimin then shockingly revealed that he often passed out during dance practices. After learning about Jimin’s weight loss struggles, fans started the hashtag #JiminYouArePerfect to show their support. However, some were upset at the BTS singer for lying when he said that he was taking good care of himself. This reflects the story behind Jimin’s Self-Composed track “Promise” where he opens up about his personal struggles that inspired a lot of ARMYs.
