BTS’s Jimin has finally made his highly anticipated debut on TikTok, and he chose to introduce himself to the platform in the way fans have come to associate most closely with him: through dance.
On September 28, Jimin uploaded the first video to his personal TikTok account, @jimin, after the profile had already attracted more than 5 million followers despite remaining completely empty.
Rather than beginning with a casual greeting, selfie or behind-the-scenes update, Jimin surprised fans by performing choreography for “Be Mine,” a track from his second solo album, MUSE.
The performance gave fans their first proper look at choreography for the song, which had not previously received a full official dance performance.
The video was filmed outdoors against a scenic backdrop, with Jimin placing the focus firmly on the choreography.
His controlled movements and precise dance lines quickly became the main talking point among fans, who had been waiting for him to finally post something on the account.
The choice of “Be Mine” also made the debut particularly significant.
The song was released as part of MUSE in 2024, but Jimin did not have the opportunity to publicly showcase a complete choreography for it at the time.
His first TikTok post therefore combined two long-awaited moments for fans: Jimin’s arrival on TikTok and the revealing of the song’s choreography.
Jimin’s Empty TikTok Account Attracted Millions Before His First Video
Perhaps the most unusual part of Jimin’s TikTok debut was what happened before he uploaded anything.
His personal account had reportedly been created toward the end of August, but it remained without public videos for weeks.
Despite the absence of content, fans quickly identified the account and began following it.
The follower count continued climbing until Jimin surpassed 5 million followers without posting a single video.
That milestone highlighted the enormous anticipation surrounding his arrival on the short-form video platform.
The account’s growth became a story in itself.
Fans were essentially following an empty profile while waiting for confirmation that Jimin would eventually use it.
By the time his first video appeared, millions were already there to watch.
After the upload, the account continued gaining followers.
Reports on September 29 placed Jimin’s follower count at approximately 5.7 million, while the first video had already accumulated millions of views within roughly a day.
Jimin’s debut also comes as several BTS members maintain individual TikTok accounts.
His arrival adds another personal presence from the group to the platform, giving fans another place to discover individual content from the members.
The anticipation surrounding Jimin’s account was particularly notable because there was almost no traditional buildup.
Instead of a lengthy promotional campaign, the account quietly gathered followers until the artist himself finally made the first move.
“Be Mine” Choreography Becomes the Center of Jimin’s TikTok Debut
Once the video was uploaded, much of the conversation immediately focused on Jimin’s decision to use “Be Mine.”
The performance offered fans choreography they had been waiting to see, turning what could have been a simple social-media introduction into a dance-focused moment.
Jimin also included the hashtag #thisisjimin, which caught the attention of longtime fans.
The phrase has been associated with Jimin’s earlier dance-focused content, so its appearance in his first TikTok post was interpreted by fans as a connection to an earlier period of his career.
The response quickly spread beyond TikTok.
Jimin-related keywords and phrases began trending on X as fans shared the performance and reacted to his long-awaited arrival on the platform.
Fan-tracking accounts reported activity around terms including “THIS IS JIMIN,” “JIMIN ON TIKTOK,” and “JIMIN DANCING TO BE MINE.”
Fans also flooded the TikTok comments with reactions to the unexpected debut.
Some questioned whether the account was genuinely Jimin’s official profile, while others celebrated finally seeing him upload a video after millions had already followed the account.
The timing also gives the TikTok debut an interesting connection to Jimin’s recent career chapter.
“Be Mine” belongs to MUSE, his 2024 solo album, and the new performance allows the track to receive renewed attention more than two years after its release.
For Jimin, the first TikTok upload ultimately required very little explanation.
After allowing millions of followers to gather around an empty profile, he finally appeared with a dance performance that put his artistry at the center of the moment.
With the account now active, fans will likely be watching closely for his next upload.
Whether Jimin continues with choreography, participates in challenges, shares music-related content or explores another type of short-form video remains unknown.
For now, however, his TikTok debut has already given fans something they had been waiting for: Jimin dancing to “Be Mine” and officially beginning a new chapter on the platform.
