On June 30, 2025, young Japanese dancer Koki posted a message expressing happiness after BTS Jimin liked his dance cover of j-hope’s Killin’ It Girl. The video was originally uploaded to the Instagram handle @koki.5_14, which shows the child energetically performing the track.

His joy became even more special when he noticed Jimin had interacted with his reel. Koki later shared a post on his account saying that getting recognition from the BTS star felt like receiving a once-in-a-lifetime gift. He wrote that he would continue dancing to BTS songs. He said, as translated into English by X user @PJM_data:

"There is no greater happiness than getting a like from BTS Jimin, who I love more than words can say and is my forever aspiration. It feels like l've received a once in a life time gift. Thank you. (KOR) I'll continue to dance to BTS songs."

"Koki loves Ji min so much… he covers every single one of his songs without fail," an X user wrote. "That kid is amazing, he must be so happy, and I'm happy for him too, and because Jmin is active, a fan remarked. "jimiin soft spot for kids is my roman empire," a user added.
