At this point I’m starting to believe that there is nothing BTS’ vocalist Jimin cannot do!
On April 21, 2021, in honor of Earth Day, Hyundai Motor Company dropped a stunning new video in collaboration with global superstars BTS, and the message was loud and clear: “For a better future, we don’t wait.” As part of Hyundai’s global sustainability campaign, the video highlighted the importance of taking immediate action to protect our planet, embracing eco-conscious innovation, and building a greener future. But while the powerful environmental message resonated with viewers, it was a split-second moment that left ARMYs collectively breathless, Jimin’s gravity-defying move that took center stage.
In one particular clip, Park Jimin, known for his elegant, emotive dancing, pulled off an extraordinary b-boying move that appeared to completely defy gravity. His body seemingly floated midair, held by nothing but his core strength and immaculate form, frozen for a moment in time like a living sculpture.
It wasn’t just a trick of camera work or editing, this was pure, jaw-dropping athleticism. Dressed in sleek, all-black attire with the backdrop of Hyundai’s futuristic setting, Jimin looked every bit like a modern-day superhero. The way he controlled his body, balancing at impossible angles, showcased not only his flexibility and strength, but also the grace and control that have become synonymous with his name.
Jimin has always been known for his versatility as a dancer, combining his background in contemporary ballet with street styles like hip-hop and b-boying. This unique blend allows him to execute moves that are both emotionally moving and physically intense.
What made this particular moment so unforgettable was how effortlessly he blended power with grace. The b-boying freeze move he performed, a feat that requires years of training, core conditioning, and timing, is considered extremely difficult, even for seasoned breakdancers. The precision with which Jimin executed it, while maintaining his signature fluidity, was enough to spark a flurry of admiration online.
Fans wasted no time expressing their awe across platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok. Within hours, hashtags like #JiminEarthDay, #GravityWho, and #JiminDefyingGravity began trending globally.
Here’s what ARMYs had to say:
- “Jimin did not just do that… my jaw is on the floor.”
- “Hyundai said save the Earth and Jimin said let me float like I’m not part of it.”
- “NASA, we need answers. Jimin is levitating.”
- “That move? Olympic-level. Core strength? Insane. Style? Always unmatched.”
Even fans unfamiliar with the technical aspects of dance couldn’t help but admire the moment. The perfect stillness, the tension in his muscles, and the aesthetic of the shot made it look like a scene from a sci-fi film, perfectly fitting the futuristic tone of the campaign.
Jimin’s ability to pull off such difficult choreography comes from years of training. As the main dancer of BTS, he has long been admired for his dedication to practice, often pushing himself to perfect even the most minor details of a performance. He has spoken in the past about practicing until late at night, repeating movements hundreds of times to achieve the precision he’s known for.
This moment in the Hyundai video was no exception. It wasn’t just visually striking—it was a physical testament to Jimin’s dedication to his craft.
Dance professionals and choreographers also chimed in online to recognize the technical difficulty of the move. The control it takes to hold the body mid-air, perfectly aligned, without tremble or instability, is something only a highly skilled performer can manage.
While the dance moment became the focal point for many, it’s important to acknowledge how BTS and Hyundai seamlessly fused artistry with activism. The Hyundai x BTS Earth Day campaign aimed to inspire younger generations to take responsibility for the planet’s future.
Each BTS member appeared in different segments of the campaign, highlighting various elements of nature, wind, water, light, and earth, all representing clean and renewable energy. The campaign emphasized Hyundai’s commitment to sustainable vehicles, such as their IONIQ lineup, while BTS’s participation gave it a global stage. Jimin’s stunning moment served as a symbol of elevation, movement, and strength, qualities that perfectly align with both the message of Earth Day and the innovation behind Hyundai’s future-focused vision.
Even months after the campaign’s release, fans still talk about “that moment” the one where Jimin hovered like time had stopped. It wasn’t just about physical performance; it became a metaphor for limitless potential, both in artistry and in building a better world.
Jimin has always had the rare ability to turn a few seconds into a memory that lingers, and in the case of the Hyundai Earth Day video, he did just that. His performance added heart and awe to an already meaningful campaign, proving once again why he’s not just a dancer or an idol, but a complete artist.
As the world continues to shift toward eco-conscious solutions and creative activism, partnerships like Hyundai and BTS set a high standard for what it means to combine art with purpose. And Jimin? He just happens to float above it all, literally and figuratively.
Jimin, is the “Main Dancer” in BTS, and holds the global title of “Best Dancer” 1st place for 3 consecutive years!, not only is he the best dancer in K-Pop industry, he’s the best contemporary dancer in the world and has mastered many dance styles in his young life, which is very impressive.
BTS Jimin has mastered various dances such as Marshall Arts, Poppin, Break, Modern Dance, Ballet, Street Dance, and Acrobatic because he has been dancing since middle school and was always the best in his classes, from middle school to high school.
It is no surprise the way Jimin is able to control his body and flawlessly execute such bizarre, crazy mind blowing dance antics, he has done Hapkido, Taekwondo, Japanese martial arts among others, which require discipline, flexibility, flawlessness and more importantly, core strength.
Here are some moments that Jimin has defyed gravity and left us picking our jaws from the floor.
