Is Jimin leaving BTS? Rumour explained as solo stans accuse HYBE of cutting him out of ARIRANG World Tour clips, photos: ‘They always ignore him’

BTS is currently making history with its ongoing ARIRANG World Tour, with the group selling out stadiums and drawing massive attention worldwide. But amid the excitement, a familiar wave of speculation has taken over social media, with some X users claiming that Jimin could be considering leaving BTS.


So, what exactly sparked these rumours?

The speculation appears to have been fuelled largely by some Jimin solo stans, who have been expressing frustration over what they believe is a lack of visibility for the singer during the ongoing tour. From concerns about his stage presence and individual moments to complaints about how he is being promoted, some fans have accused BIGHIT MUSIC of not giving Jimin the attention they feel he deserves.

However, those complaints have now taken a much bigger turn online, with some accounts jumping from criticism of BIGHIT's management to claims that Jimin has ultimately considered parting ways with BTS.

But is there actually any truth to these claims? Here's everything we know about the latest Jimin-BTS rumours, what fans are saying, and whether there is any evidence that the BTS star is planning to leave the group.


Like many rumours in stan culture, this one also began on X, where a fan account, @formingukkie, claimed that Jimin had already left BTS. The post read, “Jimin left BTS, and i had no clue; there's never any pics of him in the dumps the company drops.” The claim quickly caught attention and sent parts of the fandom into a frenzy, particularly among Jimin’s solo stans.

One of the biggest claims to support this theory has been Jimin’s relatively inactive personal Instagram account, alongside what some fans believe is his limited presence in behind-the-scenes photos, videos and other content posted through BTS’ official social media accounts.

Some Jimin fans have also criticised the group’s concert camera direction, arguing that Jimin is frequently shown less than other members during performances despite actively dancing, singing and interacting with the audience.

One fan wrote that BIGHIT MUSIC’s treatment of Jimin throughout the tour had been “unacceptable”, alleging that the singer has repeatedly received less screen time during concerts and less visibility across BTS’ official Instagram content. The fan argued that the repeated instances could no longer be dismissed as simple oversights and called for Jimin to receive the “same visibility and consideration” as the other members.


Another fan questioned why the Like Crazy singer appeared to be missing from several behind-the-scenes posts, writing, “why is Jimin genuinely never in these behind-the-scenes pics on BTS's account? It's so?????"

A third post criticised the concert camera direction, claiming that cameras appeared to cut away when Jimin was dancing while also allegedly filming him when he did not want to be filmed.

The frustration continued across X, with another fan pointing out that Jimin was reportedly present during a BTS-related moment but was not included in the official post. The account tagged BIGHIT MUSIC and HYBE while using hashtags including #respectjimin and #Apologizetojimin. Check out X reactions below:


While these posts have helped fuel the latest discussion around Jimin and BTS, fan complaints about his visibility are not evidence that he intends to leave the group. At this point, the viral claim appears to be speculation that has grown out of ongoing fan frustration rather than a confirmed development involving Jimin himself.

Neither Jimin nor BIGHIT MUSIC has publicly announced that the singer is leaving BTS. The claim that Jimin is planning to part ways with BTS at this point appears to be a fragment of his solo stans' imagination. He recently returned to Korea after the group's Las Vegas shows, and the group will kick off the South American leg in October 2026.
