Ryan’s Peace Offering to Jimin
Now, Ryan Gosling has chosen a unique method to apologize to BTS’ Jimin. In a video shared on the official Twitter page of Barbie, Gosling reached out to Jimin and expressed his admiration. He acknowledged that the Bangtan Boys member wore the outfit first and undoubtedly pulled it off better. As a peace offering, Ryan decided to give Jimin his prized possession – a Ken guitar.
