- “Are the fans actually okay with his hair??? Wow, I was so shocked when I saw it… Though it might not even just be a hair issue.”
- “Nope LOL”
- “Oh dear… BTS should really change their styling team too. Are all the K-Pop styling teams just stagnant these days? It’s a complete mess overall. This is probably why successful girl groups hire overseas stylists.”
- “Oh my God…”
- “Ah, it looks really bad.”
- “The Getty photos are maliciously taken? LOLLLLLLLLL”
- “It’s a styling miss. His proportions don’t look good like this. Shorter hair would look better.”

- People are really going hard with the looks-based criticism lol. He looked fine in the videos, though.”
- “Jimin, you’re beautiful. You were the best today as always. I love you.”
- “That’s pretty stark. On his own, he looks so underwhelming. He shouldn’t have gone there by himself… there was no need to.”
- “Wow….”
- “They put someone short in an outfit that long…? And seriously, what’s going on with that hair??? The short dyed hairstyle he had before suited him much better.”
