Мне было очень интересно, какое сценическое имя я получу. Были такие варианты, как Baby J, Baby G и Young Kid, но мы остановились на моем настоящем имени. (Шуга: «Мы все согласились, что «Чимин» звучит лучше всего»). Я вижу свое лицо каждый день, поэтому думаю: «Изменилось ли мое лицо хоть немного?». Но окружающие говорят, что я сбросил много веса. Мои родители очень волнуются обо мне, потому что видят меня лишь несколько раз в год, и спрашивают, хорошо ли я питаюсь. Лично я ощущаю, что стал более привлекательным после диеты, когда… у фанатов получаются хорошие фотографии? (смеется) Я ем то же, что и другие участники, но чаще занимаюсь физическими упражнениями. На самом деле, я ничего не чувствовал, когда начал качать мышцы, но как только я стал выступать на сцене, реакция публики была настолько положительной, что мои мысли по этому поводу немного изменились. (Джин: «Чимин был в хорошей форме, когда мы познакомились»). Я не говорил об этом прежде, потому что мне неловко (смеется). В хореографии к No More Dream есть часть, когда я пинаю хёнов, стоящих в одной линии, но я всегда чувствую себя виноватым за то, что делаю это очень сильно. Однажды я пнул Рэпмон-хёна с такой силой, что он на время «исчез». Когда следом идет другая часть хореографии, всё, о чем я могу думать, — это: «А, мне так жаль. Как быть? Им больно?» (Чонгук: «Вы и, правда, можете услышать звук пинков»). Я танцевал в стиле поппинг с 8 класса и заинтересовался этим родом деятельности после просмотра выступлений Рэйна-сонбэнима. Затем я поступил в Пусанскую академию искусств на отделение современного танца и пришел в агентство после предложения моего учителя по танцам пойти на прослушивание в развлекательную компанию. Занимаясь современными танцами, однажды мы с друзьями станцевали под песню «Mirotic» TVXQ-сонбэ, и реакция была действительно хорошей. До такой степени, что я почувствовал себя знаменитостью (смеется). (Чонгук: «Хён сказал, что были девушки, которые ждали его возле туалета»). Это стало моим первым и последним воспоминанием. Я снимал свой первый влог, когда едва мог открыть глаза. Это случилось сразу после того, как я закончил урок по танцу, поэтому мое лицо оставляло желать лучшего, и в то время в комнате находилось восемь человек, следовательно, я неловко себя чувствовал. Съемка прошла бы более удачно, если бы я был один. Я последним был добавлен в группу, поэтому я очень усердно практикуюсь. (Джин: «Чимин практикуется каждый раз, когда у него появляется свободное время; он одержим тренировками. Он спит три часа в день и практикуется так много, что я переживаю, не умрет ли он, практикуясь»). Однажды я написал стихи и показал их Шуге-хёну, но в ответ я услышал: «Ты называешь это лирикой?». Он сказал принести текст, который мы действительно сможем использовать в песне. (Шуга: «Он написал стихи, которые подошли бы только для детской песни»). Я знаю очень много ноу-хау в области ухода за кожей. Очищение лица и последующее нанесение увлажняющего лосьона занимает у меня много времени. Важно наносить его спустя три секунды после протирания лица полотенцем.

Любимая еда: мясо (любое), фрукты, рагу.
Любимый цвет: синий, черный.
Любимые вещи: снэпбэки от New Era, банданы.
Идеальный тип: Хорошенькая милая девушка. Должна быть меньше его.
Привычки: Танцевать/двигаться под музыку, где бы ни находился.
Слово, которое описывает его: очаровательный участник Bangtan, милашка.
Пример для подражания: «Тэян-сонбэ из Big Bang. Я его очень уважаю и хочу быть похожим на него.»
Через 10 лет будет: классным певцом, который наслаждается пребыванием на сцене.
1. Со времен трейни Шуга очень заботился о Чимине. Он всегда угощал его едой и питьем.
2. Чимин сказал, что хотел бы станцевать с Каем из EXO.
3. У Чимина всегда чисто в комнате.
4. Однажды Чимин пытался написать текст к песне, но Шуга, после того, как прочитал, сказал: *»Ты называешь это текстом?» Он сказал, что текст Чимина больше был похож на детскую колыбельную песенку.
5. Когда спросили, каким животным вы бы хотели стать, Чимин ответил: «Хочу летать высоко, как птица»
6. Чимин сказал, что любит, когда его называют Минни.
7. Когда у Чимина проблемы, он обычно справляется со всем сам. Если же не может, разговаривает с Ви.
8. Чимин считает, что Чонгук очень милый.
9. Чимин считает, что Джин красивый, и иногда завидует ему.
10. Чимин и Ви лучшие друзья, так как они одногодки.
11. Есть младший брат, которого он очень любит.
12. Любимое число: 3
13. Любит в прохладную солнечную погоду слушать в наушниках хорошую музыку

Карьера

Ранняя жизнь

Пак Чимин родился 13 октября 1995 года в Пусане, Южная Корея. У него есть младший брат.

Обучался в Пусане в младшей школе Ходонга, позже учился в средней школе Ёнсана.[2] С 8 класса Чимин начал посещать танцевальную академию, где изучал поппинг и локинг.[3] Получив среднее образование, Чимин приступает к учёбе в Пусанской старшей школе искусств. Здесь он углублённо изучает современную хореографию, позже переводится в более престижное учебное заведение – Корейскую высшую школу искусств. В старшей школе Чимин приступил к изучению контемпорари и стал лучшим учеником в области современных танцев.[4] После рекомендации учителя пойти на прослушивание, Чимин стал частью BigHit Music. Пройдя кастинг в 2012 году, Чимин перевёлся в Корейскую школу искусств, окончив её двумя годами позже.[5] Затем он поступил в Сеульский кибер-университет.[6]

2013: Дебют с BTS и начало карьеры

13 июня 2013 года Чимин дебютировал в составе BTS с первым сингловым альбомом группы «2 Cool 4 Skool».[7] В группе он выпустил две сольные композиции — «Lie» и «Serendipity». «Lie» была выпущена в октябре 2016 года и вошла во второй студийный альбом Wings. Композиция была описана как «Завораживающая и драматичная, проявляющая тёмные эмоции, которые помогают отразить концепцию всего альбома».[8] «Serendipity» для Love Yourself: Her стала контрастом к предыдущей сольной песне Чимина — она была более мягкой и чувственной.[9][10] «Lie» и «Serendipity» набрали свыше 50 миллионов прослушиваний на Spotify, что сделало песни первыми корейскими композициями за последние 5 лет, достигшими такого показателя. Они также стали единственными сольными композициями среди участников BTS, достигшими топ-20 самых скачиваемых песен в Великобритании.[11][12]

2014-настоящее время: Сольная деятельность

В 2014 году Чимин записал корейскую версию «Mistletoe» Джастина Бибера вместе с одногруппником Чонгуком.[13] 3 июня 2017 года был выпущен кавер на хит-сингл «We Don’t Talk Anymore» Чарли Пута и Селены Гомес, снова записанный при участии Чонгука.[14] С 2016 года Пак начал участвовать в различных телевизионных шоу, таких как Ток-шоу Привет, Пожалуйста, позаботьтесь о моём холодильнике и Рабочее место бога.[15][16] С того же года Чимин неоднократно становился МС на музыкальных программах, таких как Show! Music Core и M Countdown.[17][18] В декабре он принял участие в танцевальной коллаборации с Тэмином в рамках KBS Song Festival.[19] С января по май 2018 года Чимин выигрывал ежемесячную награду «Лучший индивидуальный к-поп-артист» по версии Peeper x Billboard; проводилось специальное голосование через приложение Peeper и корейского Billboard, с помощью которого и определялся победитель. Призом было пожертвование в UNICEF от его имени.[20] 31 декабря он выпустил свою первую сольную песню вне деятельности BTS — «Promise» для свободного прослушивания на SoundCloud. Песня написана Чимином и Намджуном, обложка была создана Тэхёном. За первые сутки прослушивания трека составили более 8,5 миллионов, что стало лучшим результатом на SoundCloud за всё время.[21]

Личная жизнь

Благотворительность

С 2016 по 2018 годы Чимин поддерживал свою начальную школу, покрывая расходы на приобретение школьной формы. После известия о закрытии учреждения он купил зимние и летние формы для последних выпускников и подарил альбомы с автографами каждому обучающемуся.[22]

24 августа 2020 года Чимин сделал пожертвование в сумме 100 миллионов вон в «Фонд будущего образование Чоннама». 29 июля отец Чимина передал сумму Чан Сокуну, председателю фонда, от имени айдола и попросил использовать её на студентов провинции Чолла-Намдо, на что получил обещание помочь обучающимся региона.

21 сентября 2021 года Чимин пожертвовал 100 миллионов вон на помощь детям с полиомиелитом. По данным района 3590 «International Rotary» от 21 сентября, в июле этого года Чимин пожертвовал «Rotary Club» 100 миллионов вон «Rotary Clu№» — некоммерческая волонтёрская организация, насчитывающая более 1,3 миллионов волонтёров по всему миру. Чимин пожертвовал 100 миллионов вон району 3590, в состав которого входят порядка 3900 человек в Кёнсан-Намдо.

Jimin has released three solo tracks under BTS’ name—»Lie» in 2016, «Serendipity» in 2017, and «Filter» in 2020—all of which have charted on South Korea’s Gaon Digital Chart. In 2018, he released his first credited solo song, the digital track «Promise», which he co-wrote. He recorded the duet «With You» with Ha Sung-woon for the soundtrack for the TvN drama Our Blues in 2022 and featured on Taeyang’s single «Vibe» in 2023.

Early life and education

Park Ji-min was born on October 13, 1995, in Geumjeong District, Busan, South Korea.[2] His immediate family includes his mother, father, and younger brother. When he was a child, he attended Busan’s Hodong Elementary School and Yonsan Middle School.[3] During middle school, he attended Just Dance Academy and learned popping and locking dance.[citation needed] Prior to becoming a trainee, Jimin studied contemporary dance at Busan High School of Arts and was a top student in the modern dance department.[4] A teacher suggested that he join an entertainment company, leading him to Big Hit Entertainment. Once he passed the auditions in 2012, he transferred to Korean Arts High School, graduating in 2014.[5]

Jimin graduated from Global Cyber University in August 2020 with a major in Broadcasting and Entertainment.[6] As of 2021, he is enrolled at Hanyang Cyber University, pursuing a Master of Business Administration in Advertising and Media.[7]

Career

2013–present: BTS

Main article: BTS

Jimin debuted as a vocalist and dancer in BTS on June 13, 2013.[8] Under the band’s name, he released three solo songs: «Lie», «Serendipity», and «Filter». «Lie» was released in 2016, as part of the band’s second Korean studio album, Wings. It was described as stunning and dramatic, conveying dark undertones and emotions in line with the overall concept of the album.[9] In contrast, «Serendipity», from the band’s Love Yourself: Her (2017) extended play (EP), was soft and sensual, expressing the joy, conviction, and curiosity of love.[10] «Filter», a track from BTS’ 2020 studio album Map of the Soul: 7, had a Latin pop flair, with lyrics reflecting the different sides of Jimin that he shows to the world and those around him.[11]

«Serendipity» and «Lie» both surpassed fifty million streams on Spotify in 2018, followed shortly thereafter by the former’s full length version from BTS’ Love Yourself: Answer (2018) compilation album, which achieved the milestone in early 2019. Jimin became the first Korean artist to have three solo tracks accumulate over 50 million streams each, surpassing Psy, who was previously crossed the 50 million streams mark twice with «Gangnam Style» (2012) and «Gentleman» (2013).[12][13] Both songs were also the only solos by a BTS member included in the Official Chart Companys (OCC) list of the top 20 most streamed BTS songs in the United Kingdom as of October 2018, ranking at number 17 and 19 respectively.[14] In April 2019, the list was expanded to reflect the top 40, and both tracks were the highest ranked solo songs included that year, at numbers 18 and 20 respectively.[15][16]

In May 2019, Jimin became the first BTS member to have a solo music video achieve 100 million views on YouTube when «Serendipity» surpassed the milestone.[17][18] He remained the only BTS member with multiple solo songs in the January 2020 update of the OCC’s top 40 list.[19] «Lie» and «Serendipity» were the second and third most-streamed solos, at numbers 24 and 29 respectively, with the full-length version of the latter at number 38.[20] In February, «Filter» set a record for the biggest streaming debut among all Korean songs on Spotify, with over 2.2 million streams in its first 24 hours of release, and went on to become the fastest Korean solo in the platform’s history to surpass 20–60 million streams.[21][22] It was also the only solo album track by BTS to receive a Song of the Year nomination at the Gaon Chart Music Awards.[23][24] «Filter» charted at number 87 on the Billboard Hot 100.[25] In March 2021, «Filter» became the 15th BTS song to spend a full year on Billboards World Digital Song Sales chart.[26][better source needed] It was the longest-charting Korean song released in 2020 on the ranking,[27] having spent 80 weeks on the chart as of the issue dated October 9, 2021.[28]

Jimin was awarded the fifth-class Hwagwan Order of Cultural Merit in 2018, alongside his bandmates, by the President of South Korea, Moon Jae-in, for their contributions to the promotion of Korean culture.[29] Three years later, Moon appointed him Special Presidential Envoy for Future Generations and Culture, alongside his bandmates, to help «lead the global agenda for future generations» and «expand South Korea’s diplomatic efforts and global standing» in the international community.[30]

2014–present: Solo work

In 2014, Jimin collaborated with bandmate Jungkook on a song called «Christmas Day», a Korean rendition of Justin Bieber’s «Mistletoe»; Jimin wrote the Korean lyrics himself.[31] The two collaborated again in 2017, on a cover of Charlie Puths «We Don’t Talk Anymore» featuring Selena Gomez.[32] Jungkook previously released a solo version of the song in February, and the two prepared the duet as a special gift to the band’s fandom, releasing it on June 2, during BTS’ fourth anniversary celebrations.[33][34] Teen Vogue wrote that «adding Jimin’s voice to the mix makes the rendition all the more lovely»,[33] while the Canadian outlet Flare magazine stated that «it honestly might be better than the original».[35] Elite Daily described the cover as «nothing short of flawless».[31]

Jimin appeared on several variety shows such as Hello Counselor, Please Take Care of My Refrigerator, and God’s Workplace in 2016.[36] He also served as a special MC on domestic television music programs such as Show! Music Core and M Countdown.[37][38] In December 2016, he participated in a dance duet at the KBS Song Festival with Taemin from Shinee.[39]

On December 30, 2018, Jimin released «Promise», his first credited song as a soloist, for free on BTS’ SoundCloud page.[40] It earned the biggest 24-hour debut in SoundCloud history with 8.5 million streams, surpassing previous record holder Drake’s «Duppy Freestyle» which received 4.9 million streams,[41] and would go on to become the most streamed song on the platform by December 2021, with over 300 million streams.[42] Described by Billboard as a «mellow pop ballad»,[43] the song was composed by Jimin and Big Hit producer Slow Rabbit, who also produced the track,[44] and features lyrics written by Jimin and bandmate RM.[43] Jimin released his second solo song «Christmas Love», about his childhood memories of the holidays, on December 24, 2020.[45] In 2022, he contributed the single «With You», a duet with Ha Sung-woon, to the soundtrack of the TvN drama Our Blues; the single was released on April 24.[46]

In January 2023, Jimin co-wrote and featured on the single «Vibe» by Taeyang.[47][48] His first official solo project since BTS announced an increased focus on individual music endeavors a year prior,[49] the single earned Jimin his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100, at number 76.[50] He was announced as a global ambassador for Dior later that month,[51] and as a brand ambassador for Tiffany & Co. in March.[52] Jimin’s debut solo album Face is slated for release on March 24, and will be preceded by the single «Set Me Free Pt. 2» on March 17.[53][54]

Artistry

Jimin stands on a stage holding his belt while dancing.

Jimin’s vocals have been described as delicate and sweet.[55] He is regarded as an exceptional dancer among the members of BTS and in K-pop in general,[4][56] often praised for his «smooth and elegant movements» and charm on stage. In the documentary Burn the Stage, Jimin addressed his perfectionism, stating that even the smallest mistakes on stage make him feel guilty and stressed.[56]

He has cited singer Rain as an inspiration and one of the reasons why he wanted to become a singer and performer.[57]

Impact and influence

In 2016, Jimin was ranked as the 14th most popular idol in an annual survey conducted by Gallup Korea.[58] He subsequently ranked seventh in 2017, and then consecutively ranked first in 2018 and 2019,[59] as the only idol to top the survey for two consecutive years.[60] In 2018, Jimin was the ninth most-tweeted about celebrity and the eighth most-tweeted about musician globally.[61] He was named the 17th best boy band member in history by The Guardian.[62] From January to May 2018, Jimin won the monthly «Top K-Pop Artist–Individual» award fro Peeper x Billboard, a collaboration between the Peeper social media app and Billboard Korea that collects fan votes for their favorite K-pop artists. The prize was a donation to UNICEF in his name.[63]

The Cultural Conservation Society awarded Jimin a plaque of appreciation in 2019, for performing buchaechum, a traditional Korean fan dance, during the 2018 Melon Music Awards and helping spread the dance outside of Korea.[64] In October 2021, he became the first idol to spend 34 consecutive months atop the brand reputation ranking for individual boy group idols[65] and the only one to top the overall ranking for three consecutive years.

Jimin is often cited as a role model by various idols in the K-pop industry, many of whom try to emulate his style of dance, mannerisms, and stage presence; media outlets have called him the «Idol of Idols», «Idol’s Bible», and «Rookies’ Bible». Artists who have cited him as an influence include Arthur of Kingdom, Bic of MCND, Kim Si-hun of BDC, Woochul of Newkidd, Hyunjin of Stray Kids, Wooyoung of Ateez, Lim Se-jun of Victon, Huening Kai and Beomgyu of Tomorrow X Together, and Ni-ki and Jay of Enhypen.[66][67] British internet personality Oli London underwent 18 cosmetic surgeries costing up to £150,000 to resemble Jimin.[68]

Philanthropy

Jimin is a supporter of education and the arts. From 2016 to 2018, he covered uniform expenses of students at his alma mater, Busan Hodong Elementary School. After the school’s closing was announced, he donated summer and winter middle school uniforms to the final graduates and gifted autographed albums to the entire student body.[69] In early 2019, Jimin donated KRW₩100 million (US$88,000) to the Busan Department of Education to help support students from low income families. Of the total, ₩30 million ($23,000) went to his alma mater, Busan Arts High School.[70] In July 2020, he donated ₩100 million to the Jeonnam Future Education Foundation to fund the creation of a scholarship fund for talented students from South Jeolla Province who were struggling financially.[71] In September 2022, Jimin made a personal donation to the Gangwon-do Education Office.[72]

In July 2021, Jimin donated ₩100 million to Rotary International to help polio patients. As with previous donations, the benefaction was made privately but became public in September, when the Go-seong Rotary Club displayed a banner thanking him for the donation.[73] He was announced as a member of the Green Noble Club, a group of major donors to the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation who have made donations of ₩100 million or more, on October 12.[74] In February 2023, he donated ₩100 million, through the Korean UNICEF Committee, towards emergency relief for children affected by the Turkey–Syria earthquake.[75]

Personal life

Since 2018, Jimin has lived in Hannam-dong, Seoul, South Korea, with his bandmates.[76] In 2021, he purchased property in the area worth US$5.3 million.[77][better source needed]

Health

In 2017, during BTS’ Wings Tour, Jimin was unable to participate in the show in Macau due to neck and shoulder cramping.[78] The following year, while in London for the Love Yourself World Tour, he withdrew from the band’s scheduled performance on The Graham Norton Show because of «severe muscle pain in his neck and back», according to a statement released by Big Hit Entertainment.[79]

Jimin has released three solo tracks under BTS’ name—»Lie» in 2016, «Serendipity» in 2017, and «Filter» in 2020—all of which have charted on South Korea’s Gaon Digital Chart. In 2018, he released his first credited solo song, the digital track «Promise», which he co-wrote. He recorded the duet «With You» with Ha Sung-woon for the soundtrack for the TvN drama Our Blues in 2022 and featured on Taeyang’s single «Vibe» in 2023.

Early life and education

Park Ji-min was born on October 13, 1995, in Geumjeong District, Busan, South Korea.[2] His immediate family includes his mother, father, and younger brother. When he was a child, he attended Busan’s Hodong Elementary School and Yonsan Middle School.[3] During middle school, he attended Just Dance Academy and learned popping and locking dance.[citation needed] Prior to becoming a trainee, Jimin studied contemporary dance at Busan High School of Arts and was a top student in the modern dance department.[4] A teacher suggested that he join an entertainment company, leading him to Big Hit Entertainment. Once he passed the auditions in 2012, he transferred to Korean Arts High School, graduating in 2014.[5]

Jimin graduated from Global Cyber University in August 2020 with a major in Broadcasting and Entertainment.[6] As of 2021, he is enrolled at Hanyang Cyber University, pursuing a Master of Business Administration in Advertising and Media.[7]

Career

2013–present: BTS

Main article: BTS

Jimin debuted as a vocalist and dancer in BTS on June 13, 2013.[8] Under the band’s name, he released three solo songs: «Lie», «Serendipity», and «Filter». «Lie» was released in 2016, as part of the band’s second Korean studio album, Wings. It was described as stunning and dramatic, conveying dark undertones and emotions in line with the overall concept of the album.[9] In contrast, «Serendipity», from the band’s Love Yourself: Her (2017) extended play (EP), was soft and sensual, expressing the joy, conviction, and curiosity of love.[10] «Filter», a track from BTS’ 2020 studio album Map of the Soul: 7, had a Latin pop flair, with lyrics reflecting the different sides of Jimin that he shows to the world and those around him.[11]

«Serendipity» and «Lie» both surpassed fifty million streams on Spotify in 2018, followed shortly thereafter by the former’s full length version from BTS’ Love Yourself: Answer (2018) compilation album, which achieved the milestone in early 2019. Jimin became the first Korean artist to have three solo tracks accumulate over 50 million streams each, surpassing Psy, who was previously crossed the 50 million streams mark twice with «Gangnam Style» (2012) and «Gentleman» (2013).[12][13] Both songs were also the only solos by a BTS member included in the Official Chart Companys (OCC) list of the top 20 most streamed BTS songs in the United Kingdom as of October 2018, ranking at number 17 and 19 respectively.[14] In April 2019, the list was expanded to reflect the top 40, and both tracks were the highest ranked solo songs included that year, at numbers 18 and 20 respectively.[15][16]

In May 2019, Jimin became the first BTS member to have a solo music video achieve 100 million views on YouTube when «Serendipity» surpassed the milestone.[17][18] He remained the only BTS member with multiple solo songs in the January 2020 update of the OCC’s top 40 list.[19] «Lie» and «Serendipity» were the second and third most-streamed solos, at numbers 24 and 29 respectively, with the full-length version of the latter at number 38.[20] In February, «Filter» set a record for the biggest streaming debut among all Korean songs on Spotify, with over 2.2 million streams in its first 24 hours of release, and went on to become the fastest Korean solo in the platform’s history to surpass 20–60 million streams.[21][22] It was also the only solo album track by BTS to receive a Song of the Year nomination at the Gaon Chart Music Awards.[23][24] «Filter» charted at number 87 on the Billboard Hot 100.[25] In March 2021, «Filter» became the 15th BTS song to spend a full year on Billboards World Digital Song Sales chart.[26][better source needed] It was the longest-charting Korean song released in 2020 on the ranking,[27] having spent 80 weeks on the chart as of the issue dated October 9, 2021.[28]

Jimin was awarded the fifth-class Hwagwan Order of Cultural Merit in 2018, alongside his bandmates, by the President of South Korea, Moon Jae-in, for their contributions to the promotion of Korean culture.[29] Three years later, Moon appointed him Special Presidential Envoy for Future Generations and Culture, alongside his bandmates, to help «lead the global agenda for future generations» and «expand South Korea’s diplomatic efforts and global standing» in the international community.[30]

2014–present: Solo work

In 2014, Jimin collaborated with bandmate Jungkook on a song called «Christmas Day», a Korean rendition of Justin Bieber’s «Mistletoe»; Jimin wrote the Korean lyrics himself.[31] The two collaborated again in 2017, on a cover of Charlie Puths «We Don’t Talk Anymore» featuring Selena Gomez.[32] Jungkook previously released a solo version of the song in February, and the two prepared the duet as a special gift to the band’s fandom, releasing it on June 2, during BTS’ fourth anniversary celebrations.[33][34] Teen Vogue wrote that «adding Jimin’s voice to the mix makes the rendition all the more lovely»,[33] while the Canadian outlet Flare magazine stated that «it honestly might be better than the original».[35] Elite Daily described the cover as «nothing short of flawless».[31]

Jimin appeared on several variety shows such as Hello Counselor, Please Take Care of My Refrigerator, and God’s Workplace in 2016.[36] He also served as a special MC on domestic television music programs such as Show! Music Core and M Countdown.[37][38] In December 2016, he participated in a dance duet at the KBS Song Festival with Taemin from Shinee.[39]

On December 30, 2018, Jimin released «Promise», his first credited song as a soloist, for free on BTS’ SoundCloud page.[40] It earned the biggest 24-hour debut in SoundCloud history with 8.5 million streams, surpassing previous record holder Drake’s «Duppy Freestyle» which received 4.9 million streams,[41] and would go on to become the most streamed song on the platform by December 2021, with over 300 million streams.[42] Described by Billboard as a «mellow pop ballad»,[43] the song was composed by Jimin and Big Hit producer Slow Rabbit, who also produced the track,[44] and features lyrics written by Jimin and bandmate RM.[43] Jimin released his second solo song «Christmas Love», about his childhood memories of the holidays, on December 24, 2020.[45] In 2022, he contributed the single «With You», a duet with Ha Sung-woon, to the soundtrack of the TvN drama Our Blues; the single was released on April 24.[46]

In January 2023, Jimin co-wrote and featured on the single «Vibe» by Taeyang.[47][48] His first official solo project since BTS announced an increased focus on individual music endeavors a year prior,[49] the single earned Jimin his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100, at number 76.[50] He was announced as a global ambassador for Dior later that month,[51] and as a brand ambassador for Tiffany & Co. in March.[52] Jimin’s debut solo album Face is slated for release on March 24, and will be preceded by the single «Set Me Free Pt. 2» on March 17.[53][54]

Artistry

Jimin’s vocals have been described as delicate and sweet.[55] He is regarded as an exceptional dancer among the members of BTS and in K-pop in general,[4][56] often praised for his «smooth and elegant movements» and charm on stage. In the documentary Burn the Stage, Jimin addressed his perfectionism, stating that even the smallest mistakes on stage make him feel guilty and stressed.[56]

He has cited singer Rain as an inspiration and one of the reasons why he wanted to become a singer and performer.[57]

Impact and influence

In 2016, Jimin was ranked as the 14th most popular idol in an annual survey conducted by Gallup Korea.[58] He subsequently ranked seventh in 2017, and then consecutively ranked first in 2018 and 2019,[59] as the only idol to top the survey for two consecutive years.[60] In 2018, Jimin was the ninth most-tweeted about celebrity and the eighth most-tweeted about musician globally.[61] He was named the 17th best boy band member in history by The Guardian.[62] From January to May 2018, Jimin won the monthly «Top K-Pop Artist–Individual» award fro Peeper x Billboard, a collaboration between the Peeper social media app and Billboard Korea that collects fan votes for their favorite K-pop artists. The prize was a donation to UNICEF in his name.[63]

The Cultural Conservation Society awarded Jimin a plaque of appreciation in 2019, for performing buchaechum, a traditional Korean fan dance, during the 2018 Melon Music Awards and helping spread the dance outside of Korea.[64] In October 2021, he became the first idol to spend 34 consecutive months atop the brand reputation ranking for individual boy group idols[65] and the only one to top the overall ranking for three consecutive years.

Jimin is often cited as a role model by various idols in the K-pop industry, many of whom try to emulate his style of dance, mannerisms, and stage presence; media outlets have called him the «Idol of Idols», «Idol’s Bible», and «Rookies’ Bible». Artists who have cited him as an influence include Arthur of Kingdom, Bic of MCND, Kim Si-hun of BDC, Woochul of Newkidd, Hyunjin of Stray Kids, Wooyoung of Ateez, Lim Se-jun of Victon, Huening Kai and Beomgyu of Tomorrow X Together, and Ni-ki and Jay of Enhypen.[66][67] British internet personality Oli London underwent 18 cosmetic surgeries costing up to £150,000 to resemble Jimin.[68]

Philanthropy

Jimin is a supporter of education and the arts. From 2016 to 2018, he covered uniform expenses of students at his alma mater, Busan Hodong Elementary School. After the school’s closing was announced, he donated summer and winter middle school uniforms to the final graduates and gifted autographed albums to the entire student body.[69] In early 2019, Jimin donated KRW₩100 million (US$88,000) to the Busan Department of Education to help support students from low income families. Of the total, ₩30 million ($23,000) went to his alma mater, Busan Arts High School.[70] In July 2020, he donated ₩100 million to the Jeonnam Future Education Foundation to fund the creation of a scholarship fund for talented students from South Jeolla Province who were struggling financially.[71] In September 2022, Jimin made a personal donation to the Gangwon-do Education Office.[72]

In July 2021, Jimin donated ₩100 million to Rotary International to help polio patients.

It’s like I’m at another time and space, feels like when I first loved dancing, the stage is the world that heals me.

–Jimin, 2017.07.02, Japan.

Park Ji-min (박지민), better known by the mononym Jimin (지민), is a South Korean singer-songwriter and record producer under Big Hit Music. He is a member in the boy group BTS, and has the positions of vocalist and dancer.

As a solo artist, he has released two self-composed digital singles, «Promise» in 2018 and «Christmas Love» in 2020. He then will made his official solo debut with his first mini album FACE on March 24, 2023.

Life and career

Early life and education

Jimin was born on October 13, 1995 in Geumjeong District, Busan, South Korea. His immediate family includes mother, father, and a younger brother. When he was a child, he attended Busan’s Hodong Elementary School[7] and Yonsgan Middle School. During middle school, he attended Just Dance Academy and learned popping and locking dance. Prior to becoming a trainee, Jimin studied contemporary dance at Busan High School of Arts and was a top student in the modern dance department. After a teacher suggested he audition with an entertainment company, it led him to Big Hit Entertainment. Once he passed the auditions in 2012, he transferred to Korean Arts High School, graduating in 2014.[8]

Jimin graduated from Global Cyber University in August 2020, with a major in Broadcasting and Entertainment. As of 2021, he is enrolled at Hanyang Cyber University, pursuing a Master of Business Administration in Advertising and Media.

BTS

Jimin shooting «Serendipity» comeback trailer in 2017.

On June 13, 2013, Jimin made his debut as a member of BTS with the release of the single «No More Dream». In the group, Jimin holds the position of vocalist and dancer. Under BTS, he has released three solo songs: «Lie», «Serendipity», and «Filter». «Lie» was released in 2016, as part of the group’s second Korean studio album, Wings. It was described as stunning and dramatic, conveying dark undertones and emotions that helped reflect the overall concept of the album. In contrast, «Serendipity», released on the Love Yourself: Her (2017) extended play (EP), was soft and sensual, unraveling the joy, conviction, and curiosity of love. «Filter», from the group’s 2020 studio album, Map of the Soul: 7, was very different from its predecessor, with a distinct Latin pop-esque flair and lyrics that reflected on the different sides of himself that Jimin shows to the world and those around him.

«Serendipity» and «Lie» both surpassed fifty million streams on Spotify in 2018, followed shortly thereafter by the former’s full length version from BTS’ Love Yourself: Answer (2018) compilation album, which achieved the milestone in early 2019. With this, Jimin set a new record as the only Korean artist to have three solo tracks accumulate over 50 million streams each—previously Psy was the only Korean artist to ever cross the 50 million streams mark with «Gangnam Style» (2012) and «Gentleman» (2013). Both songs were also the only solos by a BTS member included in the Official Chart Company’s list of the top 20 most streamed BTS songs in the United Kingdom as of October 2018, ranking at number 17 and 19 respectively. In April 2019, the list was expanded to reflect the top 40, and both tracks ranked at numbers 18 and 20 respectively, the highest of five solo songs included that year.

In May 2019, Jimin became the first BTS member to have a solo music video achieve 100 million views on YouTube with «Serendipity». It was the nineteenth BTS music video overall to achieve the milestone. He was the only BTS member with multiple solo songs in the January 2020 update of the Official Chart’s top 40 list. «Lie» and «Serendipity» were the second and third most-streamed solos at numbers 24 and 29, behind only «Euphoria» by Jung Kook at number 19. «Serendipity»‘s full length version debuted at number 38, behind «Intro: Boy Meets Evil» by j-hope at number 35 but ahead of «Trivia 轉: Seesaw» by SUGA at number 39. In February, «Filter» set a record for the biggest streaming debut among all Korean songs on Spotify with over 2.2 million streams in its first 24 hours of release, and went on to become the fastest Korean solo in the platform’s history to surpass 20–60 million streams. It is also the first and only solo BTS b-side track to receive a Song of The Year nomination at the Gaon Chart Music Awards. As of March 2021, «Filter» has spent 53 weeks on Billboard‘s World Digital Song Sales chart—it is BTS’ 15th song to spend a full year on the ranking.

Jimin was awarded the fifth-class Hwagwan Order of Cultural Merit by the President of South Korea in 2018, along with other members of BTS for their contributions to the promotion of Korean culture.

Solo Work

In 2014, Jimin collaborated with fellow BTS member and vocalist Jung Kook on a song called «Christmas Day», a Korean rendition of Justin Bieber’s «Mistletoe»—the Korean lyrics were written by Jimin himself. The two collaborated again in 2017 for a cover of American singer Charlie Puth’s «We Don’t Talk Anymore» (2016), with Jimin singing the parts of Selena Gomez who featured on the original with Puth. Jung Kook had previously released a solo version of the song earlier that year in February, and the two prepared the duet as a special gift to the band’s fandom, releasing it on June 2 during BTS’ fourth anniversary celebrations. Commenting on Jimin’s appearance on the track, Teen Vogue wrote that «adding Jimin’s voice to the mix makes the rendition all the more lovely». Canadian outlet Flare magazine also praised his rendition saying, «…no shade, Selena—it honestly might be better than the original». Elite Daily described the cover as «nothing short of flawless».

Jimin appeared on several variety shows such as Hello Counselor, Please Take Care of My Refrigerator, and God’s Workplace in 2016. He also served as a special MC on domestic music programs such as Show! Music Core and M Countdown. In December, he participated in a dance duet at the KBS Song Festival with Taemin from Shinee.

On December 30, 2018, Jimin released his first solo song outside of BTS releases, «Promise», for free on BTS’ SoundCloud page. On January 3, 2019, the platform announced that «Promise» had surpassed the record set by Drake’s «Duppy Freestyle» for the biggest 24-hour debut ever. Described by Billboard as a «mellow pop ballad», the song was composed by Jimin and Big Hit producer Slow Rabbit, who also produced the track, and features lyrics written by Jimin and fellow BTS member RM. On December 24, 2020, Jimin released his second solo effort «Christmas Love», a song about his childhood memories of the holidays.

Artistry

Jimin’s vocals have been described as delicate and sweet. He is regarded as an exceptional dancer among the members of the group and in K-pop in general. Noelle Devoe of Elite Daily wrote that he is often praised for his «smooth and elegant movements» as well as his charm on stage. In the BTS documentary Burn The Stage, Jimin said that he thinks of himself as a perfectionist, stating even the smallest mistakes on stage makes him feel guilty and stresses him.

He has cited singer Rain as one of his inspirations and reasons why he wanted to become both a singer and performer.

Impact and influence

In 2016, Jimin was ranked as the 14th most popular idol in an annual survey conducted by Gallup Korea. He ranked 7th in 2017, before ranking 1st consecutively in 2018 and 2019. Jimin is the only idol to top the survey for two consecutive years. In 2018, Jimin was the ninth most-tweeted about celebrity and the eighth most-tweeted about musician in the world. He was picked as the seventeenth best boyband member in history by The Guardian. From January to May 2018, Jimin won the monthly Peeper x Billboard Award for «Top K-Pop Artist – Individual». Peeper x Billboard is a collaboration between the Peeper social media app and Billboard Korea that collects fan votes for their favorite K-pop artists and announces monthly winners. The prize was a donation to the charity UNICEF in his name. In 2019, he received a plaque of appreciation from the Cultural Conservation Society for performing buchaechum, a traditional Korean fan dance, during the 2018 Melon Music Awards and helping spread the dance outside of Korea. As of 2021, Jimin has topped the brand reputation ranking for individual boy group idols for 27 consecutive months.

Philanthropy

From 2016 to 2018, Jimin supported graduates of Busan Hodong Elementary School, his alma mater, by covering uniform expenses. After news of the school’s closing was released, he donated summer and winter middle school uniforms to the final graduates and gifted autographed albums to the entire student body. In early 2019, Jimin donated 100 million Korean won (roughly 88,000 US dollars) to the Busan Department of Education to help support lower income students. Of the total, ₩30 million (roughly US$23,000) went to Busan Arts High School, Jimin’s alma mater. In July 2020, Jimin donated another 100 million Korean won, this time to the Jeonnam Future Education Foundation, for the creation of a scholarship fund for talented but financially struggling students from South Jeolla Province.

It’s like I’m at another time and space, feels like when I first loved dancing, the stage is the world that heals me.

–Jimin, 2017.07.02, Japan.

Park Ji-min (박지민), better known by the mononym Jimin (지민), is a South Korean singer-songwriter and record producer under Big Hit Music. He is a member in the boy group BTS, and has the positions of vocalist and dancer.

As a solo artist, he has released two self-composed digital singles, «Promise» in 2018 and «Christmas Love» in 2020. He then will made his official solo debut with his first mini album FACE on March 24, 2023.

Life and career

Early life and education

Jimin was born on October 13, 1995 in Geumjeong District, Busan, South Korea. His immediate family includes mother, father, and a younger brother. When he was a child, he attended Busan’s Hodong Elementary School[7] and Yonsgan Middle School. During middle school, he attended Just Dance Academy and learned popping and locking dance. Prior to becoming a trainee, Jimin studied contemporary dance at Busan High School of Arts and was a top student in the modern dance department. After a teacher suggested he audition with an entertainment company, it led him to Big Hit Entertainment. Once he passed the auditions in 2012, he transferred to Korean Arts High School, graduating in 2014.[8]

Jimin graduated from Global Cyber University in August 2020, with a major in Broadcasting and Entertainment. As of 2021, he is enrolled at Hanyang Cyber University, pursuing a Master of Business Administration in Advertising and Media.

BTS

Jimin shooting «Serendipity» comeback trailer in 2017.

On June 13, 2013, Jimin made his debut as a member of BTS with the release of the single «No More Dream». In the group, Jimin holds the position of vocalist and dancer. Under BTS, he has released three solo songs: «Lie», «Serendipity», and «Filter». «Lie» was released in 2016, as part of the group’s second Korean studio album, Wings. It was described as stunning and dramatic, conveying dark undertones and emotions that helped reflect the overall concept of the album. In contrast, «Serendipity», released on the Love Yourself: Her (2017) extended play (EP), was soft and sensual, unraveling the joy, conviction, and curiosity of love. «Filter», from the group’s 2020 studio album, Map of the Soul: 7, was very different from its predecessor, with a distinct Latin pop-esque flair and lyrics that reflected on the different sides of himself that Jimin shows to the world and those around him.

«Serendipity» and «Lie» both surpassed fifty million streams on Spotify in 2018, followed shortly thereafter by the former’s full length version from BTS’ Love Yourself: Answer (2018) compilation album, which achieved the milestone in early 2019. With this, Jimin set a new record as the only Korean artist to have three solo tracks accumulate over 50 million streams each—previously Psy was the only Korean artist to ever cross the 50 million streams mark with «Gangnam Style» (2012) and «Gentleman» (2013). Both songs were also the only solos by a BTS member included in the Official Chart Company’s list of the top 20 most streamed BTS songs in the United Kingdom as of October 2018, ranking at number 17 and 19 respectively. In April 2019, the list was expanded to reflect the top 40, and both tracks ranked at numbers 18 and 20 respectively, the highest of five solo songs included that year.

In May 2019, Jimin became the first BTS member to have a solo music video achieve 100 million views on YouTube with «Serendipity». It was the nineteenth BTS music video overall to achieve the milestone. He was the only BTS member with multiple solo songs in the January 2020 update of the Official Chart’s top 40 list. «Lie» and «Serendipity» were the second and third most-streamed solos at numbers 24 and 29, behind only «Euphoria» by Jung Kook at number 19. «Serendipity»‘s full length version debuted at number 38, behind «Intro: Boy Meets Evil» by j-hope at number 35 but ahead of «Trivia 轉: Seesaw» by SUGA at number 39. In February, «Filter» set a record for the biggest streaming debut among all Korean songs on Spotify with over 2.2 million streams in its first 24 hours of release, and went on to become the fastest Korean solo in the platform’s history to surpass 20–60 million streams. It is also the first and only solo BTS b-side track to receive a Song of The Year nomination at the Gaon Chart Music Awards. As of March 2021, «Filter» has spent 53 weeks on Billboard‘s World Digital Song Sales chart—it is BTS’ 15th song to spend a full year on the ranking.

Jimin was awarded the fifth-class Hwagwan Order of Cultural Merit by the President of South Korea in 2018, along with other members of BTS for their contributions to the promotion of Korean culture.

Solo Work

In 2014, Jimin collaborated with fellow BTS member and vocalist Jung Kook on a song called «Christmas Day», a Korean rendition of Justin Bieber’s «Mistletoe»—the Korean lyrics were written by Jimin himself. The two collaborated again in 2017 for a cover of American singer Charlie Puth’s «We Don’t Talk Anymore» (2016), with Jimin singing the parts of Selena Gomez who featured on the original with Puth. Jung Kook had previously released a solo version of the song earlier that year in February, and the two prepared the duet as a special gift to the band’s fandom, releasing it on June 2 during BTS’ fourth anniversary celebrations. Commenting on Jimin’s appearance on the track, Teen Vogue wrote that «adding Jimin’s voice to the mix makes the rendition all the more lovely». Canadian outlet Flare magazine also praised his rendition saying, «…no shade, Selena—it honestly might be better than the original». Elite Daily described the cover as «nothing short of flawless».

Jimin appeared on several variety shows such as Hello Counselor, Please Take Care of My Refrigerator, and God’s Workplace in 2016. He also served as a special MC on domestic music programs such as Show! Music Core and M Countdown. In December, he participated in a dance duet at the KBS Song Festival with Taemin from Shinee.

On December 30, 2018, Jimin released his first solo song outside of BTS releases, «Promise», for free on BTS’ SoundCloud page. On January 3, 2019, the platform announced that «Promise» had surpassed the record set by Drake’s «Duppy Freestyle» for the biggest 24-hour debut ever. Described by Billboard as a «mellow pop ballad», the song was composed by Jimin and Big Hit producer Slow Rabbit, who also produced the track, and features lyrics written by Jimin and fellow BTS member RM. On December 24, 2020, Jimin released his second solo effort «Christmas Love», a song about his childhood memories of the holidays.

Artistry

Jimin’s vocals have been described as delicate and sweet. He is regarded as an exceptional dancer among the members of the group and in K-pop in general. Noelle Devoe of Elite Daily wrote that he is often praised for his «smooth and elegant movements» as well as his charm on stage. In the BTS documentary Burn The Stage, Jimin said that he thinks of himself as a perfectionist, stating even the smallest mistakes on stage makes him feel guilty and stresses him.

He has cited singer Rain as one of his inspirations and reasons why he wanted to become both a singer and performer.

Impact and influence

In 2016, Jimin was ranked as the 14th most popular idol in an annual survey conducted by Gallup Korea. He ranked 7th in 2017, before ranking 1st consecutively in 2018 and 2019. Jimin is the only idol to top the survey for two consecutive years. In 2018, Jimin was the ninth most-tweeted about celebrity and the eighth most-tweeted about musician in the world. He was picked as the seventeenth best boyband member in history by The Guardian. From January to May 2018, Jimin won the monthly Peeper x Billboard Award for «Top K-Pop Artist – Individual». Peeper x Billboard is a collaboration between the Peeper social media app and Billboard Korea that collects fan votes for their favorite K-pop artists and announces monthly winners. The prize was a donation to the charity UNICEF in his name. In 2019, he received a plaque of appreciation from the Cultural Conservation Society for performing buchaechum, a traditional Korean fan dance, during the 2018 Melon Music Awards and helping spread the dance outside of Korea. As of 2021, Jimin has topped the brand reputation ranking for individual boy group idols for 27 consecutive months.

Philanthropy

From 2016 to 2018, Jimin supported graduates of Busan Hodong Elementary School, his alma mater, by covering uniform expenses. After news of the school’s closing was released, he donated summer and winter middle school uniforms to the final graduates and gifted autographed albums to the entire student body. In early 2019, Jimin donated 100 million Korean won (roughly 88,000 US dollars) to the Busan Department of Education to help support lower income students. Of the total, ₩30 million (roughly US$23,000) went to Busan Arts High School, Jimin’s alma mater. In July 2020, Jimin donated another 100 million Korean won, this time to the Jeonnam Future Education Foundation, for the creation of a scholarship fund for talented but financially struggling students from South Jeolla Province.
