So apparently, we woke up in a parallel universe where people think they can just casually steal a BTS member’s song and pretend no one will notice. And by “people,” we mean some unknown Spotify user who thought it would be fun to upload Jimin’s hidden track “Letter” and pass it off as their own. Yes. Really. Someone actually tried that.
Let’s rewind for context. Back in March 2023, Jimin released his first solo album, FACE. Gorgeous album. Emotional masterpiece. And tucked at the very end of the physical version—like a secret epilogue—was “Letter,” a hidden track featuring Jungkook. The song starts after a long silence at the end of “Like Crazy” and is basically a love note to ARMY, full of longing and gratitude. It’s not on Spotify, Apple Music, or any streaming platform. It was a gift for the fans who bought the album and waited patiently. You know, like an actual reward for loyalty.
But fast forward to January 2024, and suddenly, this song shows up on streaming platforms under a different artist’s name. Some mysterious creature named Miryusif Mammadli, also using the alias Mirry3m, decided that Jimin’s heart-wrenching letter to his fans was his song now. And instead of going to jail (which is what we were expecting, frankly), he went to Spotify.
Now let’s be clear: the version uploaded was an acoustic cover, so it’s not the exact track. But make no mistake—it’s the same song, same melody, same structure, same lyrics. This wasn’t a tribute. It wasn’t a cover tagged properly. It was copyright infringement wearing a dollar-store disguise.
Fans caught it fast. ARMYs immediately flooded social media demanding action. Some called it plagiarism. Some called it theft. Most just screamed into the void because they couldn’t believe someone would do this to Jimin. As if BTS hasn’t already had to deal with enough people leeching off their work for clout.
And what made it worse? This imposter registered the song and put it on every major platform like it was his big debut. Sorry sir, your big debut just turned into your big deletion. Fans flagged it, spread the word, and called on HYBE to lawyer up. Because if there’s one thing ARMY doesn’t play about, it’s protecting the boys. Especially when a song is as intimate and personal as “Letter.”
Let’s talk about that song for a second. “Letter” isn’t just a b-side. It’s a whisper from Jimin’s soul, a quiet moment of connection between him and us. It references old BTS lyrics, it features Jungkook, and it speaks directly to fans who stuck by him through thick and thin. You cannot just yank that off an album and pretend it’s yours. That’s like photocopying a handwritten love letter and forging your name at the bottom. Disrespectful doesn’t even begin to cover it.
It’s also worth noting the track was placed at 6:13 on purpose—an obvious nod to BTS’s debut date, June 13. That’s the kind of detail ARMY lives for. And it’s the kind of detail that makes the theft feel even more insulting. Because this wasn’t some random melody you found on YouTube. This was a coded message between artist and fan. And someone tried to cash in on it.
Meanwhile, Jimin has completed his military service, wrapped things up with grace as always, and is already gearing up for the BTS group comeback in 2026. He served. He sacrificed. He created beautiful art and entrusted it to us. The least the world can do is not plagiarize it while he’s off doing his duty. But alas, even that is apparently too much to ask.
What’s the lesson here? Easy. If it’s not your voice, not your lyrics, and not your story—don’t publish it. Especially when it belongs to a global superstar with one of the most protective fandoms on Earth. You will be found. You will be reported. And you will be roasted.
At the time of writing, it looks like the song has already been taken down thanks to ARMY’s quick action, but the audacity still lingers. Jimin wrote “Letter” for us. Not for Spotify scammers. Not for stream-chasers. Not for attention-hungry nobodies pretending to be singer-songwriters.
So let this be a reminder: stealing from BTS is not only morally bankrupt—it’s career suicide. And if HYBE doesn’t handle it? Don’t worry. ARMY already has.
In Jimin’s name, and with all the love and fury in the world—don’t touch our songs.
