BTS’ SUGA proved yet again why his sense of wit and humor is unmatched when he hilariously roasted his bandmate Jimin over Ryan Gosling-gifted guitar. For those unaware, during the Barbie promotional campaign, Ryan Gosling praised BTS member Jimin for wearing the same black frill outfit in the PTD music video as Ken sported in the film. Gosling thanked the FACE singer and gifted him a signed guitar as a token of his appreciation.
To express his gratitude, the Like Crazy singer took to his personal Instagram to thank the Barbie star for the guitar and wish him well for the movie. BTS’ SUGA and J-hope immediately posted their comments. While J-hope’s comment was gibberish praise for Jimin’s English speaking skills, BTS’ SUGA trolled him by replying:
“You really suck at playing the guitar”.
BTS’ SUGA’s fans react to the D-DAY singer's guitar comment on Jimin's Instagram post
Jimin made a sweet post on Instagram thanking Ryan Gosling for his autographed guitar and wishing him success for Barbie: The Movie. He also strummed the guitar a bit towards the end and smiled, waving the camera goodbye. ARMYs were particularly excited as Ryan Gosling is one of Jimin’s favorite actors, and his movie The Notebook with Rachel McAdams is his favorite film of all time. Hence, this message coming from Gosling must have felt like a personal victory to him.
In the past four days, the post has garnered 8,883,036 likes, and fans have loved how Jimin graciously accepted the present from Ryan Gosling.
BTS’ SUGA’s comment went viral amongst ARMYs. While some lauded his brilliant wit and dry sense of humor, some others took offense over his comments and thought mocking Jimin in this manner was not really appropriate. ARMYs who loved his comment, termed it "savage."
Others defended BTS’ SUGA stating that the rapper has a very straight-faced sense of humor and that he made a comment like this in jest with no intention to offend anyone. Fans pointed out that he made a similar comment when Coldplay’s leader, Chris Martin, gifted Jin one of his personally owned guitars in the past.
However, J-hope’s sweet gibberish comment for Jimin was no point of contention for ARMYs. The Jack in the Box hitmaker wrote "Jjamanie English SswallalaBbollellalalallallal" lauding his fluent English speaking skills. ARMYs found it sweet and encouraging and liked how he took time off from his military schedule to comment on Jimin’s post.
It is left to be seen whether Jimin has watched Barbie or not, and fans are hoping he watches the film soon and relays his review to Ryan Gosling.
