The Jimin-Effect ("Jimin" from the kpop group BTS' member Park Jimin) applies to usually smaller-than-average men with a muscular body, an androgynous face and masculine as well as feminine characteristics, fashion sense and demeanor. The main characteristic that defines a Jimin-Effect man is a natural skill to make people fall for him, especially other men who think of themselves as straight and often resort to make an "exception" for the Jimin-Effect man. Other characteristics that can but don't have to be impersonated by a Jimin-Effect man are slight pettiness and good networking skills (via gossiping at events). The Jimin-Effect is named after BTS' Park Jimin, who is famous for coming to terms with his androgyny during his kpop-career and for snatching men left and right.
