Fans have been super-excited about watching the latest Marvel production 'Eternals' just to witness Jimin's name in the credits at the end of the movie. Many have bought tickets for the movie and have taken recordings and photos of his name on the theaters' screens and posted on Twitter with pride. There have also been nationwide advertisements by fans that started to run on November 3 when the movie opened in theatres. All in all, the inclusion of the song 'Friends,' written, composed, and produced by Jimin, has brought lots of publicity and revenues for the movie.
It would appear that both the movie's production team and the film production company under which the movie was released have taken note of his impact in favor of the movie. On November 6, the 'Eternals' official account on Twitter posted a screenshot of Jimin's name credited under 'Friends' as a songwriter, just as fans have been doing, and the Marvel Studios official account retweeted this tweet. This was a clear indication of recognition and acknowledgment of Jimin's positive impact on the movie from both parties, which has mainly been evident in terms of publicity and revenue from ticket sales.

For media coverage, there have been non-stop articles from different media outlets in South Korea and internationally covering the news of Jimin's first-ever self-written, composed, and produced song being included in the 'Eternals' movie as a soundtrack. Star News, Newsen, GQ, Sports Web, Naver, Osen, National Defense Daily Newspaper, Daily Sports, Sports Today, and many other online news publications have been reporting on the news and have therefore generated lots of publicity for the movie. Additionally, all the major television stations covered the news repeatedly as well, including YTN, OBS, SBS Morning Wide, KBS, MBC, and JTBC. Internationally, there were publications from Teen Vogue, Republic World, Bollywood Life, Music Times, Hindustan Times, News Week, News Break, and many others. Moreover, having seen the level of attention that the news had drawn, the major news networks further reported on how everyone has been talking about it.
The media is still covering the news, such as the latest publications from Pop Sugar and Esquire magazines in the US, Marie Claire in South Korea, Korea Star Daily in China, and Kompas TV in Indonesia, to mention a few.
All these publications and news reports on television have failed to mention that Jimin wrote, composed, and produced the song 'Friends.' As such, the publicity generated can be credited to Jimin's involvement.

Jimin really got people going to movie theateres and sit through a 2 hours movie just to see his song plays in it pic.twitter.com/5TiQ5BFZ7d

Jimin's impact on the success of the movie in theatres is undeniable, and fans are praising the movie's production team and the production studio for acknowledging his contribution to the good results being posted.
It is worth noting that Marvel Studios is one of the biggest and most influential film production companies in Hollywood and in the world, and it has never needed outside help to generate interest in its movies nor sell tickets. In fact, it is usually the other way round whereby the company is the one that raises the status of anyone or anything associated with it, be it actors/actresses, directors, or movies. Therefore, it is a big deal that the company actually acknowledged Jimin in this way.
I don’t think people understand how big this is. Marvel Studios is the owner of the biggest box office hits over a decade they don’t need to hype anything they are the hype, they recognizing Jimin’s name in the credits impact. This is huge!!!!
