Jimin, a member of BTS, sparked a wave of reactions among K-pop and football fans after imitating Erling Haaland’s walk. The gesture went viral because it blended two worlds with huge audiences, right amid interest in the 2026 World Cup.
The post generated comments from users asking for Haaland to see the video and even imagining a meeting between the Norwegian striker and the South Korean artist. According to Times of India, there is no concrete sign that the two will meet, but edits and jokes multiplied the reach of the moment.
The scene drew attention for being simple and effective. Jimin did not need a big production to make an impact, just a recognizable imitation of Haaland’s posture and walk that ended up bringing together followers of Manchester City, Norway, and BTS.
