Will BTS Jimin be shirtless in his Weverse Magazine interview? Fans manifest 'Shirtless Bangtan'
The comeback season is always chaotic for any K-pop group but with the seven-member boy group BTS releasing their first anthology album, 'Proof' on June 10, fans from all around the world have been dancing to the tunes of the "seven bulletproof boy scouts," otherwise known as Bangtan Sonyeondan aka BTS. With BTS closing Chapter 1 of their stories with 'Proof', fans have been excited for what is in store for them when BTS eventually starts their "Chapter 2" in the near future. But it looks like fans' prayers are being answered as the boys of BTS are finally showing more skin, starting with a Shirtless Jimin for BTS' ARMY Membership Merch Box #8.
Over the last few years, BTS' fancafe platform Weverse, owned by HYBE, has started the new norm of releasing interviews with individual members of its group like that of TXT, Seventeen, Enhype, and Le Sserafim, ahead of each of their comebacks. As BTS was the first boy group from Big Hit Entertainment (later rebranded as HYBE), it is but natural for the platform to host interviews with all the seven members of BTS. On June 13, BTS first released a solo interview with J-Hope where the rapper of BTS talked about his hopes and aspirations with his solo work in the future as well as explained the meaning of songs on BTS' 'Proof'. Following that, on June 14, we saw the oldest member and "worldwide handsome" Jin talk to Weverse about how he is reliving his childhood by having fun with fans aka ARMYs during concerts.

Jimin to go shirtless for his Weverse Magazine interview
On the same day, however, Weverse also released the announcement that the platform Merch Box titled - Weverse Magazine Merch Box #8 was being put on sale for fans to pre-order. The contents in the box were typical but what caught the attention of fans was the way most of the boys from BTS were dressed in revealing outfits that teased their pecks, abs, and waistlines.
Jimin took the cake because his photos showed the 'Filter' singer sans a shirt as he wore a Kimono jacket for the group cuts that were released with the sale announcement. Since members Jin and J-Hope wore the same outfits in the Merch Box sale announcement as they did for their respective Weverse Interviews, fans were sure that Jimin's shirtless photos are going to be featured in the days to come when his interview is finally released. For the ARMY Membership Merch Box #8 photos, Jimin is seen wearing a Saint Laurent Blue Kimono Teddy Jacket which is priced at $4,590 (₩ 5,910,359)
From the second BTS released the announcement for the Merch Box, fans have been hyperventilating as they manifest a "shirtless BTS" for the boy group's upcoming era. One fan said, "Chapter 2 = shirtless bangtan." Another asked, "Where are the buttons Jimin?" One more fan said, "FVCKKKK !! PARK JIMIN IS CONFIRMED SHIRTLESS HERE!!" One fan said, "Park Jimin I'm screaming." One fan edited the photo the way HYBE does for BTS members during Run BTS episodes as one fan said, "They forgot something! I got you @/bighitofficial @/weverse official. PARK JIMIN PLEASE."
