Yup, were not going to survive BTS next comeback, and the reaction to Jimins blue hair which coincidentally matches the Map of the Soul: 7 album cover proves it. Recently, Big Hit Entertainment dropped new concept photos depicting the septet RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook as black and white swans. Then a few hours later, the band was spotted at an airport in South Korea after promotions in the United States. In both cases, Jimin appeared with dark blue locks, subsequently sending many BTS fans down the rabbit hole of excitement about the new era.

For the past few weeks, BTS has been busy with promotions in the U.S. First up, the group performed at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards. They then ran the media circuit to discuss Map of the Soul: 7, including guest spots on iHeartRadio and The Late Late Show with James Corden. The band will also appear on a special BTS-centric episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, which will air sometime in the near future.

Now, according to videos published by Newsen and Stark on Feb. 10, BTS landed at the Incheon International Airport, where they were surrounded by a sea of onlookers, paparazzi, and security.

The South Korean publications also captured the seven members walking out in their airport fashion outfits. And per usual, Jimin popped out dressed in all-black. But this time, the Serendipity singer who was last seen with platinum blonde hair while performing Black Swan on Jan. 28 sported blue-black hair.

Following the medias release of BTS airport arrival, many fans gushed over Jimins blue hair on social media.
