The lead vocalist for the group STAYC also joined the wave though not via dance; she praised the same Jimin part in the song during one of her Vlive broadcasts, saying, "Oh! I like this part! I like it very much!"
She has previously shown that she is a strong fan of Jimin by singing snippets from some of his songs when asked to sing a song with a specific keyword.
Last year Yoon sang a snippet of Jimin's "Lie" when asked to sing a song containing 'Lie'!

There is no question about the significant role that Jimin plays in the group as a stan attractor of the group with his catchy vocals even when he has the least amount of lines compared to the rest of the members.
It is for this reason that fans cannot wait to listen to a full album from him, as can be seen from the kind of reception to his artistry from the performance of 'With You' on different music charts and platforms right from its debut day to date. Just recently, after the group announced that they would now start to promote individually, Billboard held a poll to see which member's solo project was the most anticipated, Jimin emerged at the top of this ranking as voted by fans [read here].
