In the Toronto episode of "Run BTS! 2.0," titled "We Are Serious. The 1st Pickleball Tournament," released on October 11, Jimin took part in a pickleball match alongside his members, captivating fans by displaying both cheerful humor and serious competitive spirit.

Even as he became accustomed to the game, Jimin demonstrated sharp play by accurately reading the direction of the ball and targeting the corners of the court.

In particular, Jimin boldly stretched his body to return shots, created scoring opportunities with low-driven hits and quick footwork, and even showed composure in discerning out-of-bounds balls in the latter half of the match.

Throughout the game, Jimin maintained his signature bright and cheerful charm. Amid the scoring competition, he enjoyed the atmosphere with a beaming smile, and when praised by a member who had tried pickleball before him, he playfully quipped, "Thank you, senior," adding to the fun.

Meanwhile, to mark his birthday on October 13, fans around the world are holding various celebratory events in their respective countries, creating a special birthday for Jimin.
