BTS Jimin, From 'Manggaetteok' to 'Angular Mochi'? A Cute History of Evolution

 


Group BTS members brought great laughter to fans as they cheerfully re-evaluated Jimin's longtime nickname, "Mochi."

In the BTS "Google Autocomplete Interview" video recently released through the YouTube channel 'WIRED,' the origin and current status of Jimin's representative nickname, "Mochi (Manggaetteok)," were mentioned, drawing attention.

In the video that day, the members reminisced about the early days of their debut when Jimin was often compared to non-living things like "Manggaetteok" or "Rice Cake (Tteok)" thanks to his chubby and cute cheek fat. Later on, he became known as "Mochi," a pronunciation that is also familiar to overseas fans.

Looking at the current Jimin, who boasts a sharp jawline and a toned body after losing his baby fat, the members evaluated, "Since he lost a lot of weight, that (soft) feeling has disappeared a lot." Taking it a step further, they mercilessly described the current Jimin as "a rice cake that got hard from not being eaten for a long time," "a hard mochi," and "an angular mochi rather than a round one," turning the set into a sea of laughter. This is a moment that explains Jimin's transformation from a fresh, soft boy in his early debut days into a fatal and mature man using BTS's uniquely witty metaphors.

The global fandom 'ARMY' who watched the video showed explosive reactions, saying, "Angular mochi, they are metaphor geniuses," "Even if it's a hard rice cake, Baby Mochi is forever," and "Bangtan is the funniest when they tease each other," cheering for the members' unchanging best-friend chemistry.
