BTS Jimin’s First TikTok Video Surpasses 15 Million Views With ‘Be Mine’ Dance

The BTS star gained more than one million followers after opening his account with an original performance set against a golden beach sunset

BTS member Jimin has made a powerful TikTok debut, attracting more than 15 million views with the first video posted to his personal account.

Jimin uploaded the performance on September 28 after gathering more than five million followers without publishing any content. Instead of introducing the account with a spoken greeting or joining an existing TikTok challenge, he chose the song and format most closely associated with his artistic identity: his own music and choreography.

The video features “Be Mine,” a track from Jimin’s second solo album “MUSE.” Dancing beside the ocean at sunset, he delivers smooth, controlled movements against a golden coastal backdrop.

His long hairstyle, relaxed clothing and the natural lighting give the short clip the atmosphere of a performance film rather than a conventional social media challenge.

Jimin Reaches 15 Million Views With One TikTok Post

The response was immediate.

As of midnight on September 30, the video had surpassed 15 million views and six million likes, according to figures reported from the platform. Jimin’s account had also grown beyond 6.54 million followers, an increase of more than one million following the release of the video.

The numbers will continue to change as the post circulates, but its first two days already demonstrate the size of the audience waiting for Jimin’s personal TikTok activity.

Dance covers, reaction videos and edited clips began appearing across TikTok and other social platforms shortly after the original post. Fans also shared the video internationally using hashtags connected to Jimin, BTS and “Be Mine.”

The performance reportedly reached the top of trending discussions in the United States as interest in his TikTok debut spread outside the platform.

Why Jimin Chose ‘Be Mine’ for His TikTok Debut

“Be Mine” was originally released in July 2024 as part of Jimin’s seven-track second solo album, “MUSE.” BigHit Music later released an English version of the song following the album’s strong reception.

The track is built around an Afrobeats-inspired rhythm and a restrained vocal performance, giving Jimin space to express the song through movement. Its fluid energy suits the elegant dance style that has long distinguished him as one of BTS’s leading performers.

Choosing an album track rather than his better-known singles “Who” or “Like Crazy” also gave “Be Mine” a new promotional moment more than two years after its original release.

TikTok can bring older songs back into public attention when a recognizable performance, challenge or visual concept encourages users to create their own versions. Jimin’s first upload consequently gives the song another opportunity to reach listeners who may have encountered “MUSE” primarily through its title track.

‘ThisIsJimin’ Returns as His Performance Signature

Jimin accompanied the video with the hashtag “#ThisIsJimin,” presenting the account as a space shaped around his individual performance identity.

The phrase already carries meaning for fans. Jimin previously used “ThisIsJimin” for a series of dance-centered clips, and BTS’s official BANGTANTV channel released a behind-the-scenes video about the project in December 2023.

Its return on his first personal TikTok post creates continuity between those earlier performances and this new stage of his social media activity.

Rather than following a random viral format, Jimin used the platform to continue a creative concept that fans already recognize. The decision makes the video feel like the beginning of a personal performance archive, with TikTok serving as another place for him to present choreography on his own terms.

A Simple Video Built Around Jimin’s Strongest Skill

The scale of the response is impressive, but the video itself remains deliberately simple.

There is no elaborate set, large group of backup dancers or complicated narrative. The visual depends on the sunset, the music and Jimin’s ability to hold attention through movement.

That restraint helps explain why the video travels effectively across social media. Viewers can understand its appeal immediately, while dancers can reinterpret the choreography through covers and short-form responses.

It also offers a clear introduction to what followers may expect from the account. Jimin’s first TikTok centers his solo catalog, visual sensibility and performance style without relying on lengthy promotion.

With one post, he has already transformed a quiet account with millions of waiting followers into a major new outlet for his music and choreography. The next question is whether “Be Mine” will grow into a wider dance trend and what Jimin will choose for his second upload.
