According to Tribe Dynamics, EMV is "an influencer marketing metric that's used to quantify the value of social media content.

EMV measures engagement with social media content about a brand that is created by a third party." In other words, it is a measuring system to see how much a post from a brand gets mentioned and how much the post garners attention on social media.

According to Karla Otto x Lefty, Jimin's two posts for Dior created an EMV of $17 million, which accounted for 54% of Dior's total EMV. As soon as BTS's Jimin was named the global ambassador of Dior, he has been seen in various shows and events. Additionally, Dior's social media posts with Jimin have received the most likes and the most views on Twitter and Instagram. On top of that, W Korea's pictorial posts of Jimin also received the most likes on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

BTS Jimin is contributing to the Korean Food industry, and its globalization has seen incredible profits.

Korean media reported that Samyang Foods' consolidated sales last year had risen by 41.6% to 909 Billion KRW, the biggest sales record ever. The operating profit rose by 38.3% to 904.41 Billion KRW during the same period, with net profit also going up.

The report explained that the increase in sales was thanks to the strong exports and expansion of overseas subsidiary sales.

Spoiler

The phenomenon was attributed to the popularity of spicy ramen and fire chicken noodles which in particular sold more than 1 Billion units in 12 years. The fire chicken (Buldak) brand of noodles is the favorite choice of BTS member Jimin. The product became popular among fandoms around the world, leading to the fire chicken noodle challenge on social media, which spread overseas.

Jimin's favorite brand is also said to be exported to more than 4 countries as its popularity continues to grow. In August last year, Samyang Foods' Vice President Kim Jung-Soo thanked Jimin for impacting the sales of spicy chicken ramen on SBS Food Talk, saying that a video of him enjoying Buldak ramen had caused a great commercial success.

Samyang Foods was the main sponsor for the Permission To Dance on-stage series of concerts from Seoul to Las Vegas. This sponsorship was explained by staff members present at the venues as owed to Jimin's love for the brand. In November last year, the Munhwa Ilbo reported that there was a long queue of fans at the spicy chicken stir-fried noodles booth, during the MAMA Awards. The Jimin effect on Buldak worldwide was highlighted by the South Korean national newspaper JoongAng daily last year when they expected sales to reach $400 Million, since 2020 Business Watch Korea has reported high sales in US and China for the Buldak ramen thanks to Jimin.

It's no secret that Coldplay members and Jin have a strong bond. Chris and Jin wrote and composed 'The Astronaut' together last year and even managed to perform it on the same stage. Chris Martin also praised the lyrics Jin wrote for 'The Astronaut' and highly praised the artist's raw vocals during the recording of the song.

At the beginning of February, Coldplay even performed the English cover of 'The Astronaut' on Saturday Night Live. The group paid tribute to Jin, who enlisted in mid-December last year, by wearing patches with 'Wotteo," a character created by the artist.

The video also included the moment of Phil Harvey, who is the creative director of Coldplay, being absolutely in awe of Jin's vocals. Harvey is known as basically the 5th member of the band and used to be a friend of Chris during their school days.

He is a well-respected professional in the industry and has been working in it for many years. After hearing Jin's live singing at the soundcheck, Harvey had a very excited and satisfied look, telling him that it "sounded so good' and was "fantastic." It's really amusing to see that Jin became that someone special for Coldplay and became a part of their world with his own vision on the process of creating music and approaching the world.
