She went on to talk about the recently released BTS Artist Made Merchandise asking the audience if they were able to get a hold of any of it. Kiriko, who is an avid Jimin fan-related her experience trying to buy the hoodie and earrings. Even after waiting on her computer at 11:00 am to buy the earrings, everything was sold out in a second. Like all of us, she had not experienced anything sell out in a second and that made her so depressed because she really thought she could get the earrings having just pierced her ears for that very reason.
While the audience sympathized with her and wished her luck on the third restock, the entertainer reiterated that she got her ears pierced because despite being a conservative who thought it was outrageous, Jimin had finally given her a chance to wear earrings by designing his own. She was so excited to buy the earrings, and although this proved impossible, she decided that she would buy earrings similar to the ones Jimin made. The topic also delved into the number 13 on Jimin's merchandise. She said that she really wanted to get the earrings with the number 13 because the number is very important to Jimin. Apart from it being BTS' debut date, it is also Jimin's birthday. She added that if she saw someone wearing the merchandise she would ask to see it closely because it is so precious to her.
The conversation veered into the BTS songs that Kiriko had chosen to play during the show, and her assistant said that the previous song, Black Swan, was calming, to which Kiriko responded enthusiastically with, "I don't think so... My heart is really excited! Its black swan. Its jimin dance!!! I'm so excited, I cant calm down at all!! My enthusiasm went to another level." showing her true fan spirit.
Before ending the program Kiriko announced that they would play Jimin's songs and Intro Serendipity and Filter were played much to fans' delight. Kiriko credited Jimin's song Filter for calming her nerves before she goes on stage. Five minutes before the show, she always listens to the song because his voice always calms her down, eases her nerves, and makes her grateful that she can hear her favorite person's voice whenever she wants.

Jimin's duality was also brought into focus when she talked about Jimin being really cute, but when he is performing its like he is possessed by something and becomes really sexy. Kiriko who recently watched the MAP OF THE SEOUL O:NE DVD, got surprised by his dancing and dancing in Filter and was amazed by the full-on display of sexiness. Kiriko also added that she found it charming how Jimin, who is a simple, cute boy, can become gorgeous in an instant and used the GQ Korea cover as an illustration of his absolute gorgeousness.
