On April 29 (KST), Jimin, along with J-Hope and Suga (and V as a guest), did a special live broadcast for fans.
During the live, the members were speaking about Jimin’s iconic long hair, which he has been sporting.

Yet, netizens were shocked when it was revealed that everyone was against it, especially those at the company who told him to cut it. Jimin explained that his mom supported it, so he kept it.
🐥but everyone was against it (jimins hair)
🐥 even the company was kind of like, “ah, you should probably cut your hair.”
🐥 but I just wanted to try something different for once
🐥 my mom was my only supporter pic.twitter.com/ZPQHak9u43

When the video was posted, netizens hit back at HYBE and their choices, praising Jimin for sticking to his gut and keeping his long hair. Some even accused the company of trying to sabotage Jimin, wanting him to cut his hair because they knew it would make a huge impact and go viral, as it currently is.

I hope jimin continues to not listen to the company or anyone’s opinions and JUST DO WHAT HE WANTS!!! His ideas and just everything he does is iconic. Love seeing Jimin experiment and just express himself in many ways. https://t.co/WUGF9wkrA5

But when I said this comment sounded weird and bitter I was “being miserable” huh? Hybe is mad that they can’t control jimin and that’s why he’s been getting mistreated this whole comeback https://t.co/xKq2VW55oe pic.twitter.com/nAXFrEn3mh
