BTS's Jimin had fans cracking up once again at his Germany concert. With a witty parody featuring Manchester City striker Erling Haaland and Thor from Norse mythology, he totally nailed it for fans around the world. After ESPN Mexico covered the moment on their official social media, a wild scene unfolded on X (formerly Twitter) — 'Jimin' was trending under the Sports category while 'Haaland' was trending under Music, both at the same time!
'A Meeting of Gods' — All Starting from One Fan's Poster
It all began at the soundcheck before the July 11th (local time) concert at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany. A fan was cheering and holding up a poster featuring Thor, Haaland, and Jimin side by side as representatives of 'iconic long blondes.' The poster labeled each one as 'God of Thunder,' 'God of Football,' and 'Our God,' respectively.
When Jimin spotted it, he actually went over and sat down, pointing at each figure one by one to read it — then burst out laughing. The fact that he personally reacted to the fan's clever idea made the whole vibe in the venue go through the roof.
The 'Haaland Walk' — Perfectly Recreated During the Show
The real highlight came during the main concert. When Jimin hilariously mimicked Haaland's trademark walk, the entire crowd absolutely lost it. ESPN Mexico posted on their official social media, saying 'Haalandmania has arrived at BTS,' and reported that 'Jimin spotted a Haaland banner and perfectly imitated Haaland during the performance.'
They also added that 'at BTS Jimin's concert in Germany, someone brought an image featuring the Norwegian striker and Thor together, and the poster read: God of Thunder, God of Football, Our God' — sharing both Jimin's reaction and the parody moment from the show.
The 'Blonde Trio' Spreads Beyond Sports Media
The parody spread way beyond sports outlets and into music media too. Top 40 radio network LOS40 Chile posted on their official channel using Jimin's solo track 'Who' as the background music, dropping a 'Blonde Time' graphic with close-up photos of Jimin and Haaland's blonde hair and asking followers to guess who's who.
Football, music, and mythology — all blended together in one iconic moment. It was yet another reminder of Jimin's global influence that transcends boundaries, and his one-of-a-kind charm when it comes to connecting and having fun with his fans.
