Jimin was also recently featured on Korea Gallup's "Most Favored Idol" list, a list compiled through a series of surveys conducted on a population sample from all over South Korea on varying age groups. Not only did Jimin come out first for females from the ages 10-29, but Jimin was also as high as second most favored idol for males of the same age group, a remarkable feat knowing the popularity of girl groups among Korean adolescent males.

As the Guardian article also revealed, the key factor for Jimin's high popularity is in his "robotic choreography," backed up by the countless 'Fancam' videos that never fail to impress. People like to say of him "there may be people who've never seen Jimin's dance videos, but there's nobody who has only seen them once."
