Fans Absolutely Loved This Reunion Between BTS’s Jimin and Tony Jones
BTS‘s American Hustle Life ended five years ago, but the special friendship between Jimin and hip-hop artist Tony Jones lives on.
American Hustle Life aired in 2014, making it one of BTS’s earliest reality shows. The show took place in Los Angeles and followed the members as they trained with hip-hop tutors, such as Coolio and Warren G.
Although there’s much to love about this show, Jimin’s friendship with Tony was especially memorable.
These two friends hit it off right from the beginning, and had some of the most heartwarming interactions on the show.
Tony is the one who gave Jimin his iconic “ChimChim” nickname, which is still used today…

…often in the form of memes!
Since American Hustle Life concluded filming, BTS and Tony have met a couple of times. Once was in 2015, during Tony’s trip to Korea.

After seeing this iconic reunion photo, fans wanted more, and they finally got it a year later. In 2016, Tony and BTS were once again reunited at a restaurant, following KCON in LA.

Even though Tony and Chim Chim don’t see each other much in person these days, Tony supports BTS from afar. He tweeted out this message in 2017, to congratulate BTS on their BBMA win.
The boys made history, knew this would happen years ago. Congratulations on your historical night, keep going!
