MUNICH: BTS member Jimin has gone viral after playfully imitating Norwegian football star Erling Haaland’s distinctive walk during the group’s concert at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany.
The light-hearted moment took place on July 11 during BTS’ ongoing ARIRANG World Tour and quickly became one of the most talked-about highlights of the concert, with videos spreading rapidly across social media.
Fan Sign Sparks the Joke
The playful interaction began during the Day 1 soundcheck, when BTS member J-Hope spotted a fan holding a humorous sign in the audience.
Rather than keeping the discovery to himself, J-Hope called Jimin over to read it. As soon as they saw the message, both members burst into laughter.
The sign read: “Haaland – The God of Football. Thor – The God of Thunder. Jimin – Our God.”
Amused by the comparison, Jimin paused to admire the poster and even took a photograph of it before returning to the soundcheck, delighting the fan who had created it.
