Oscars 2024: Ryan Gosling's recent lively performance at the 2024 Oscars has sparked curiosity among fans, especially regarding the absence of Ken's iconic guitar from his act. Gosling, who embodied the spirit of Ken from Greta Gerwig's 'Barbie' during his performance, had addressed the missing guitar in an earlier humorous video, acknowledging its significance.
The unexpected twist came when Gosling mentioned BTS sensation Jimin in the video, acknowledging the uncanny resemblance between one of his Ken outfits and Jimin's iconic 'Permission to Dance' era outfit. Gosling tactfully conceded that Jimin "definitely wore it best," hinting at a friendly connection between the Hollywood actor and the Kpop star.

After noticing the guitar's absence from his powerful performance at the 96th Academy Awards, fans quickly pointed out that it was because Ryan gave his guitar to Jimin, so he could not bring it for the performance.
