During his solo promotions, BTS‘s Jimin joined one of the YouTube channel PIXID‘s “imposter” videos. In the video Jimin filmed, K-Pop fans who live outside of Seoul had to try and identify the “imposter” among them.

Before later joking that BTS “have to take [the fan] back,” since she used to be a member of ARMY before becoming a STAY. To do so, Jimin jokingly addressed a video to Felix, using his Korean name.
Yongbok-nim! I’m not taking her from you… She left home so I’m just taking her back for a bit. Please be understanding.
— Jimin
