However, what stole the spotlight was when the Like Crazy singer-songwriter mentioned meeting BTS Jin, aka Kim Seok-jin, at the military barrack.
Jimin mentioned meeting Jin and celebrating his birthday with his fellow BTS bandmate and friend. The singer said Jin gave him a small coin bag plushie with pocket money as his birthday present. Further, he mentioned that Jin had stated it was his two months' military salary.
Among fans was one fan who translated his statement and tweeted about it, while another commented that Jin's gift made her want to cry.

"I met Jin hyung, he gave me this on my birthday, he even gave me pocket money in it. Thank you, hyung, I'll eat something delicious with this. He said it's his salary of 2 months...thank you hyung, it's a memorable gift."
