BTS’s Jimin Faces Backlash During Mexico Visit

BTS is facing backlash over Jimin’s new long hair look after their recent appearance at Mexico’s National Palace.

The controversy began when BTS visited Palacio Nacional to meet Mexico’s President on May 6, 2026. The group greeted over 50,000 fans from the palace balcony, sparking massive excitement and attention.

Soon after, Jimin’s long hair caught the spotlight online. While many praised his fresh style, a significant number of K-Netizens expressed disappointment with the hairstyle and styling.

Fans quickly reacted with comments like:

“Despite whether long hair is good or not, the hairstyle itself is just not pretty? Aside from whether it suits him or not, do the majority of fans really think that it looks nice? I thought the long hair suited him at the Gwanghwamun stage, but this looks like he just roughly dried his hair because he was in a rush.”

“The blonde suits him, but the styling and length are just weird.”

“It doesn’t suit him…”

“Why…”

“Are those extensions? It doesn’t look good…”

“It doesn’t match…and even his face…”

As the situation unfolded, the mixed reactions around Jimin’s hair style became a hot topic among fans and netizens alike.
