BTS started a collection of artist-made merchandise this year, and fans could not be more thrilled.
On the 15th of January, BTS member Jimin released his ARTIST- MADE COLLECTION merchandise style photos for a WITH YOU PURPLE HOODY and a pair of RED CARVING EARRINGS. To further tantalize fans, a short mood video for the merchandise was also unveiled with one of its models on Twitter talking about how fun it was to shoot for the hoody.

The project is part of HYBE's Collection of Artist Made items that bring fans closer to artists by owning something created by their favorite idols. As soon as BTS' Jimin's merchandise photos were posted on Twitter, fans were already thinking of how quickly it was going to sell out. This is because, unlike all other merchandise before, Jimin's looked even more personal, sentimental as well as creative. On the red curved earring, which looked like a work of art, was the number 13 imprinted at the end of its curve, and on the hoodie, the 13 written in yellow peeked out of its drawstrings together with the word You in the front and never walk alone at the back of the garment. At the lining of the hood was a seven with you, which evidently made fans very excited.


For those who may be unaware, the number 13 is special to Jimin as it is his birthdate and the debut date for BTS. Additionally, the color yellow is a favorite of Jimin's, as his BT21 character Chimmy is also yellow, with purple being the representative color for BTS and the ARMY. Moreover, the phrase you never walk alone is a song from their Wings album and one that seeks to comfort fans, while the seven with you is a quote from the song We are bullet proof : the eternal and speaks of BTS always being there with and for their fans. Thanks to all of these special, well thought out, and personalized details, fans could feel Jimin's love radiate, and since then, the anticipation for his merchandise continues to grow.

Jimin’s merch tag line ‘you never walk alone.. seven with you’ holds lot deeper meaning than it seems. This tag line originally generated in year 1945 as giving hope when it all seems lost so Jimin saying us that he and BTS as 7 are with us.
