Sports outlet ESPN Mexico highlighted the moment on its official social media channels, sharing how Jimin imitated Haaland during the concert. The clip spread quickly across social media, with “Jimin” trending in X’s sports category while “Haaland” simultaneously appeared among the platform’s music-related trending topics.
The memorable moment began during the soundcheck for BTS’ concert on July 11 (local time) at the Allianz Arena in Munich. One fan showed off a creative poster featuring three famous blonde figures side by side: Thor from Norse mythology, Erling Haaland, and Jimin. The poster labeled them “God of Thunder,” “God of Football,” and “Our God,” respectively.
After noticing the sign, Jimin sat down on the stage, carefully pointed to each person on the poster to read the captions, and burst out laughing as he realized the comparison.
Later, during the main concert, Jimin surprised the audience by recreating Haaland’s signature walking style, drawing cheers and laughter from fans throughout the stadium.
Sharing the clip, ESPN Mexico wrote: “Haalandmania has reached BTS,” adding that Jimin noticed Haaland’s banner before giving a perfect imitation of the Norwegian soccer star during the performance.
The outlet also explained that fans in Germany had given Jimin a poster featuring Thor, Haaland and the BTS singer together, titled “God of Thunder”, “God of Football” and “Our God”, showing both Jimin’s reaction to the sign and his on-stage parody.
Chilean radio network LOS40 Chile also joined in on the fun by featuring Jimin and Haaland on its official social media accounts. Using Jimin’s solo hit “Who” as background music, the station posted close-up side-by-side images of the couple’s blonde hairstyles with the caption “Blonde Time,” inviting followers to guess the identities of the two famous blonde stars.
