Don Spike explained, "That was a long time ago, when BTS was slowly garnering popularity. So there wasn't much of a buzz back then."

He continued, "But as the years passed, that remark began tailing me! I always feel so uncomfortable because of it."

He went on, "I went on a vacation to Bali last week. Someone who lived there recognized me, and when I asked how she knew who I am, she said, 'I'm an ARMY (BTS' official fan club).'"

Don Spike further shared that he receives messages from international ARMYs, saying, "Why do you keep saying that you look like JIMIN? I'm devastated."
