His kind words about Megan Thee Stallion captured the attention of netizens as they noted that he unexpectedly described her as looking “young,” “like a little child.” Black ARMYs explained that Black women, especially rappers like Megan Thee Stallion, are often hypersexualized from an early age, so hearing Jimin recognize just how young and cute she is was refreshing to many.
someone who’s been over-sexualised her entire career, unnecessary offensive remarks over her flawless appearance, jimin very much gagged with the innocent part! she’s a strong gorgeous woman but her smile never lost it’s innocence if you’ve seen her smiling irl YOU’D KNOW pic.twitter.com/e7JtZ4URRK

if i could get into the sauce of why this is so important, especially as a heavily sexualized black woman, that he saw and recognized her innocence and softness before anything. im in love with Park Jimin. https://t.co/wLpCBwcPy1

This isn’t the first time that Jimin referred to Megan Thee Stallion with such terms. Previously, during a group live broadcast, he praised her, referring to her as innocent or pure.
