Joining Gosling were his fellow 'Kens' Simu Liu, Scott Evans, Ncuti Gatwa, and Kingsley Ben-Adir.

Despite all the prep, eagle-eyed fans and ‘Barbie’ movie buffs noticed that Ryan as Ken didn’t have his guitar. The reason was, that Gosling had gifted it to South Korean boy band BTS member Jimin.

When the first looks of the film were announced, ARMY noticed that Ryan's cowboy outfit was similar to that of Jimin in 'Permission to Dance'. Instead of adding fuel for being accused of copying the singer, Ryan simply took to the film's X account, and “he definitely wore it best.” After this, he shared a video message stating that he was passing on his most prized possession, the Ken guitar, as a “humble offering”. 

Jimin also reached out to Ryan, thanking him for the same, and said in a video message, “Hi Ryan and Hi Ken. It’s Jimin. Congrats on your big release. My fans are excited to see your video so thank you so much. I could see that you look great in my outfit. Thank you for this guitar. I really love it. And I look forward to watching Barbie. Go Barbie!” He also shared a picture on Instagram of the guitar and wrote, “Thanks for having my outfit in #BarbieTheMovie! You rocked it, Ken."

Coming back to his Oscars performance, Gosling also made headlines after he got off the stage with the microphone in his hand and held it up to his "Barbie" collaborators Greta Gerwig, Robbie, and America Ferrera, who were all singing along with him. He also held the mic next to Emma Stone to sing along, too. The electrifying performance earned him a standing ovation.
