BTS JIMIN Diet 2013 - 2022

BTS park Jimin history of extreme dieting over the years and finding a healthier mindset.

He never looked fat. He was fine from the get go.

Jimin journey is really motivating because it developed from self hatred, insecurities and negativity to self love and positivity. We often start our weight loss journey as self hatred of our body leading vicious cycle and get stuck and deteriorate ourself.
But, Bts taught us by LOVE YOURSELF message to work on us . Jimin is a big part of it.
We truly love our Jiminie for being too inspirational and comfort us .💜💜💜💜💜
Wow so much likes, thanks . I hope we can find happiness in whatever form we are . I think our happiness and well being matters the most not some crazy standards.
Also recently I got to know, Jimin eats healthy and go on frequent diets to maintain his weight because as ballet or for his performance extra weight cause some hindrances so I think he thinks maintain as required. I think we all agree for dancing and performance weight some has effect on it. As long as he is happy and healthy, we should also be happy for him. 😊

as a 2015/16 army, i remember the constant talk during the run and bs&t eras abt how much weight he had lost and how concerned armys - esp international armys - were. i also remember when the interview where he said he only ate one meal in 10 days came out, it was like confirmation of what we were all kinda fearing i guess (how extreme his diet was), and it was just a really hard time as an army - because not only did we have confirmation of the extent of jimins dieting but this was also the time where there was so much hate regarding bts everywhere (korean media, western media, esp social media) and also so many fanwars that armys were constantly in the middle of - i really cant even imagine how jimin and the members felt through all of this.
also as someone who has struggled with and been hospitalised for anorexia myself, one of my biggest fears was always people finding out and trying to help by offering me food ect because i found it very triggering and exposing, of course im not saying jimin went through this but i guess i worried about him in that sense aswell. i really cant imagine constantly hearing "gain weight" "we're worried about you" "please eat" ect from tens of thousands of people everyday while he seemed to also be going through this cycle of self hatred and criticism - and through all this, still receiving endless hate and insults from antis.
of course we are only fans and we only know the members and their struggles through what they choose to share with us, and we will never truly know what he went through and the extent of it :(( anyways im not expecting anyone to read this little rant but it felt good to write, i love jimin and all the members dearly and always wish the best for them and hope they stay healthy :))

I love how amazing he looks lately, bts definitely deserve this break!

[minae.d]

I hate hate haaate how they would often feel the need to rank idols by looks. It just seems so toxic. Like what's the point?

[teekay]

This is sad and hearing him referrer to himself as a pig is heartbreaking. I'm a new Army and didn't know about Jimin's struggle with his weight. Sadly I'll bet they all have their own struggles and yet they work hard to keep the good music and visuals coming. 💜

[wHiPpEdFoRJeOnJuNgKoOk]

Jimin is in perfect shape. I wish he didn't feel so pressured to diet because he is loved just the way he is and always will be xoxo

[amyosullivan]

Honestly, he got backlash for talking about his diet but i applaud him for it. Many idols talk abt it as if its "the secret to weight loss" or as if its normal, Jimin always, ALWAYS, said that it was unhealthy and he didn't recommend it from the very first time he brought it up.

He seems to be focusing a bit more on gaining muscle (I'm assuming based on his arm muscles lmao) but he seems to be extremely confident, and not that forced-feeling sense of confidence from 2013 when he was making jokes about being the "attractive one", but genuine confidence, the kind that begins inwards and radiates outwards, where you can tell he is secure within himself.

It hasn't been easy, but he has most definitely become a healthy, graceful, beautiful swan filled with a deserved sense of confidence and self-assurance, and he deserves no less. What a brilliant role model.

edit: when I talk about making jokes about being attractive, that in itself is not a bad thing- look at Jin, for instance, he jokes about it too but it comes across as a genuine part of his personality and humour and I do believe that he seriously thinks he is handsome (and he is). However, when jimin did it in 2013 it didn't feel authentic because it's not quite "him", you know? it felt a bit forced, but i genuinely think he believes he is handsome now.

[daniellawinse]

a lot of armys really like to say he's 'naturally' slim and brush everything under the rug while encouraging him to eat and rest well and they don't like to pay attention to his years of showing dangerous behaviors in order to achieve a certain look... i hope he continues to truly prioritize his health !!!! and i hope all the armys who praise his 'natural' body remember that it may be somewhat natural, but is also a result of a lot of work on his part which is both a testament to his determination and a reason to not overdo the praise for his body, since it can give the impression that he has to keep it looking a certain way in order to receive love

thanks for the vids and ofc jimin as always is such a wonderful singer so it was lovely to hear him in the clips <3

[mscheap]

This made me cry knowing how much he has struggled to become the person that he is today. These so called toxic fans should be neutralized! Who needs them ?!! Even today I see hate towards him!! I mean how can one hate this beautiful and humble person ?!! Haters! Go find something else to hate! Leave him. We love him and that’s enough!!

[thecindylouwho]

I just love Jimin. He has the sweetest heart and soul. It breaks my heart that he worried so much about gaining or losing weight. Even worse I hate that people would hate him for being too skinny or too overweight. Everyone's weight goes up and down. I hope Jimin found the perfect balance for himself and not others. He is beautiful inside and out. To me Jimin is the sweetest angel on earth and I just want him to be happy with himself. Jimin you are

[BTSEVERKIVE]

It hits you a little harder after watching FACE's promo videos where he once again talks about the 50Kg limit. And compared weeks later he seems to be getting back to a healthy weight. It saddens me deeply that he still has to deal with this, although I understand that the pressure not only from the music industry but also from Korean society makes it difficult for anyone to heal or maintain themselves out of toxic standards, especially with the return of trends from the 2000s.

I hope that not only he was, but all idols, artists and people going through health problems can find themselves in a healthy way without the need for something so extreme, dangerous and painful. May in the future this become just a forgotten painful memory, and only the love and care of those around you can revitalize you. Hopefully the best moment will come, 2016 was a very intense and terrible period for BTS and ARMY, may we walk a better and more comfortable path 💜

I have a LOT of respect and admiration for Jimin. He is one of these fabulous achievers with incredible willpower. Nothing was given to him. He knew what he wanted and he did everything to get there.
I don't know anyone who would not like to change "something" about themselves.
80% of us do nothing...however Park Jimin didn't hesitate.
He is fantastic!

[LittleSequoia]

I loved Jimin as soon as I laid my eyes on him, without knowing anything about him, without having seen him dance, without having seen him sing, without having seen him laugh or cry.
I loved him instantly and irretrievably. Whatever his appearance, whatever his look, whatever his weight, it doesn't change anything, nothing... He is, and will remain for me and millions of armies, the most handsome man in the world! because Jimin is not only a dream body, he is also an immense heart and an extraordinary empathy. You have to be inherently evil or crazy not to like him.

[CA-bwvw]

As a baby army I remember looking through the MVs and performance from oldest to newest. Except for the extreme abs (it was so defined and covered in tanner!) from the No More Dream era, I hardly noticed Jimin's body changes. What really stands out is his stage presence, his charisma, his talent. It was never his body fat percentage or abs that made Jimin special. I wish someone could've told him that when he was eating one meal a day. I wish he knew.

[onthemetro]

It's so heartbreaking to look back at the early days, when Jimin was probably an absolutely normal weight for a boy his age, and hear him calling himself fat. He was still maturing and the expectation for him to look like a man right out of the gate is such a lot of pressure for a child. I also think back and feel sorry, not only for Jimin, but Jungkook too, who was always put in a position where he had to rank the members looks. Knowing how much he loves all his brothers it must have been awful to constantly be made to "rank" his members looks while knowing the toll it took on Jimin's mental health. I'm just glad that Jimin seems happy and healthy these days, and has even put on a bit more muscle which I'm happy about not for aesthetic reasons, but because gaining more strength may be improving the chronic shoulder and back issues he's had.

지민이에 대해 알면 알수록 정말 외유내강이라는 말이 생각나네. 그럼에도 항상 춤과 노래에 대해 노력하고, 팬들에게 보답하기 위해서 최선을 다하고... 또 팀을 위해서 자신을 변화시키고 어울리고 헌신하고. 시간이 지나고 보니, 울 지민이 참 대단했네. 17년도 중간쯤부터 많은 변화에도 아미만 보고 견디고, 현재까지 수많은 일들에 용감하게 대응하고... 울 지민이 팬들은 다 아니까, 앞으로 골드로드만 걷자! 🤟💜🤟

[dmnnatasha]

I feel sad and heartbroken when he referred himself as “pig”. I realized how cruel the entertainment world could be. He was so young back then </3 dear jimin and other bts members, a true army will always love you the way you are. As long as you are healthy, and happy, then we will be happy too. 💜💜💜

I was actually waiting for this video. Watching, I felt the surge of panic that was surrounding Jimin during 2016. I still remember the bodyshaming regarding him losing his abs 2015. There's awareness now, but even in 2016-2017, it actually took a look time for people to realize that Jimin was suffering a severe eating disorder. I remember how uncomfortable it felt watching their BS&T MV reaction. During this time, Jimin criticized himself every chance he got and you could feel the concern from the other members always praising him. Jimin practiced his Lie performance but wasn't happy with his performance. When the members watched their debut stage, Jimin wasn't happy and nostalgic but self-critical and filled with regret. Fans treated his 10 day diet as a phase, something to imitate or jole about. They compared it to Momo's ice diet, except Momo was forced, while Jimin was suffering ED for a long time. Despite not being considered one of the visual holes in the group, the pressure on Jimin was insane. It feels good to see he finally seems more stable now and has a lot of support from his parents and the other members. Jimin was in a really serious situation, right in the public eye, and many people didn't even bat an eye because he's a guy. But he said he would be drinking by himself, hate himself and have dark thoughts. It's scary. It's a miracle how people can trivialize and overlook such extreme red flags. I wish Jimin the very best and hope he remains happier and satisfied with himself, his talent and his hard work. I'm so proud seeing how far he's come and that he accepted help and comfort from the outside and did a lot of self-reflecting. This is a very difficult cycle to break free of.

[carolinamendezhernandez]

So so sooo happy to read that he got the talk with his parents to feel his real him
People can be so cruel
I am very happy that he now understands that toxic people have to be removed from one’s life in order to really live the fullest of his life
Thanks for the video, I love this young man so much
As much as I love all of them
