Biography
It’s no wonder that in 2021, the vocalist of the popular Korean septet Beyond The Scene, Park Chi Min, was included in the top ten most talked about musicians in the world. After all, the media and fans seem to be interested in everything related to their favorite, and the headlines are full of all sorts of provocative details. “Ji Min almost lost his pants on stage”, “Park fell on stage during a performance”, “How does a performer kiss?”, “Was the singer a girlfriend in the past?” – and this is just the beginning of the list. But what can you do - glory is glory.
Childhood and youth
In the middle of the 2nd autumn month, on the 13th of 1995, in the city of Busan, which is called the maritime capital of South Korea, the first-born Chi Min appeared in the Park family (2 years later his younger brother Jihyun was born). The happy grandfather awarded his grandson such a poetic name, translated into Russian meaning “my wisdom will be higher than heaven.”

Therefore, it is clear why, having become a member of the boy band, the guy did not come up with a stage name for himself. Although various options were considered - Baby J, Baby G, and Young Kid.
Parents who owned their own cafe on the coast tried to surround their children with an atmosphere of love and understanding. And therefore, noticing the eldest son’s craving for art, they sent him to the dance academy. They did not dissuade him, but supported him in every possible way when the boy announced to adults that he dreamed of becoming a star.
Chi Min (Jimin) graduated from Hodong Elementary School and Yongsan High School. From the 8th grade, he immersed himself in choreography, studying popping and locking and pestering the teacher with constant questions about how to quickly build up muscles. Later he mastered contemporary music at such a level that he was called the best student in the modern style.

The singer also has Seoul Cyber University and two higher arts schools behind him. He entered one of the latter, inspired by the example of the idol Rain (aka Jung Jihoon).
As for the interesting facts of his early biography, it is known that as a child, a boy in love with Galaxy Express 999 dreamed of becoming a hero with a mechanical body. Or, when he was little, he thought that the dog had such beautiful legs that he grabbed them. For this, the pet rewarded the offender with teeth marks. In high school, his classmates nicknamed him Ddochi for his resemblance to a puppy.
music and dancing
Constantly developing his dance and musical abilities, the guy stormed all kinds of castings and signed up for auditions. At one of them, he managed to charm the audience and the harsh jury with his skills and abilities so much that he was invited to Big Hit Entertainment. And less than a year later, Park found himself in the hip-hop group BTS. He was one of the last to arrive here, as if on the steps of a departing train.
Park Ji Min and BTS - No More Dream
Therefore, we had to put in more effort than others, so much so that our colleagues even worried about the guy’s physical health. His debut song as a member of the group was No More Dream on June 13, 2013.
It was rumored that when the dance teacher said that while performing this song Pak needed to bare his torso, he became despondent because he did not like to undress in public. But over time, the fear went away, and now fans can calmly contemplate the sculpted body of their idol. Fortunately, height (173 cm) and weight (61 kg) allow it.

Park Chi Min and RM
At the beginning of his creative career, the vocalist was very concerned about how he looked. And so I always tried to put on makeup or, otherwise, hide my face without makeup from the cameras. Nowadays, the young metrosexual cannot imagine himself without two things - eyeliner and lip gloss.
In 2016, his first solo compositions from his debut collections, completely different in sound, were placed in the top 20 most downloaded in the UK and received more than 50 million plays on Spotify. The collection of achievements was supplemented by getting into trends during the Paris tour. After the resounding success, Pak was showered with invitations to appear in television programs.

Kim Tae Hyun and Park Chi Min
In parallel with his musical career in the group, Chi Min recorded covers of popular singles by stars, for example, Justin Bieber, his former lover Selena Gomez in tandem with Charlie Puth.
The young performer's fame reached such proportions that an ardent fan, having paid a large sum, decided to go under the knife in order to look like his idol. Fans adore the singer not only for his vocal abilities, incredible grace and plasticity, but also for his participation in charity. For 3 years, until the establishment was closed, the guy supplied his native elementary school with uniforms for students.

Charming, unsurpassed dancer Park Jimin became the latest member to join the confirmed BTS lineup. It happened in 2012, when the young man was still studying at the High School of the Arts (Busan).
Jimin has been dancing since childhood, so during his studies he was recognized as one of the best. Park says that it was the school teachers who advised him to participate in the Big Hit Entertainment audition.
The producers paid attention to his plasticity and vocals and at the last moment accepted him into the group. During the training period before BTS' debut, Jimin participated as backup dancers for GLAM, and also appeared in an episode of their music video for the song Party (XXO).
Personal life
With such wild popularity as Jimin, it is not surprising that the dancer is always in the spotlight. In addition to new hits, the public is also interested in the details of the pet’s personal life. It is known that he was credited with several affairs with female colleagues.
First on the list was Kara's Han Seung Yeon, whose enthusiastic comment about Park's natural talent sparked dating rumors. However, the information turned out to be false. Later, a new discussion of the guy’s likes was sparked by joint videos with one of the Red Velvet members, but here, too, there was nothing indicating a close connection.

Park himself often talked about what his woman should look like: long-haired, intelligent, shorter than him, with “slight oddities.” The media also wrote that before his musical debut he had a girlfriend, but the couple broke up.
It is also known that Jimin was passionately and unhappily in love during his school years and, in the presence of the object of his adoration, behaved as in that song - “I turn red and then turn pale.” By the way, according to Jung Ho Suk, the main distinguishing feature of a “co-worker” is loyalty, according to Min Yoongi and Jeon Jungkook – smiling eyes.
Five things BTS's Park Jimin is famous for
We all know that BTS 's Jimin is one of the most famous people on the planet.
In November 2021, he continued to hold the top spot on the Korean Business Research Institute's brand reputation ranking for male idols. He has topped this ranking for 24 months in a row, and no one else has even come close to achieving this feat.
Park Jimin is a global superstar and music icon, but what qualities is this star most famous for? Here are some of the main reasons for its unrivaled international appeal...
His dancing and performances on stage
Anyone who has seen BTS perform live knows that their choreography is one of the group's most impressive skills - a technical mastery that perhaps no pop group before them has possessed. Therefore, to stand out among even the most talented dancers not only in K-pop, but in pop music around the world, performing on stage with BTS is an even greater achievement.
Jimin's dancing can be characterized by the beautiful body lines and shapes he creates during his performances. They're precise and clean, allowing his every move to stand out in dramatic detail, but they're just as clean for the fans in the front row as they are for those in the back of the stadium. These are the movements of someone who puts his whole being into his performance, and these skills can also be attributed to the result of his training in modern dance.
A prime example of Jimin's smooth dance style and captivating stage presence, however, are his solo performances.
There are many examples of Jimin's dancing talents, but one of his fans' favorites is his live broadcast of MAMA in Hong Kong in 2016. Or his Black Swan solo performance during their online concert a few weeks ago. Not only was Jimin's performance at MAMA 2016 beautiful in itself, but surprisingly, he was blindfolded throughout the entire performance. This performance is a prime example of his unique blend of hip-hop with sophisticated ballet-style moves.
Another iconic scene was his first solo performance of “Filter.”
His angelic voice
In fact, there is a technical reason why Jimin's sounds so angelic: he is a perfect example of a "pure tenor", with the ability to know exactly how to control the tone of his voice. His vocal expertise is most evident in slower tempo, calmer songs such as his intro "Serendipity" or one of the band's older tracks "House of cards", where he had the opportunity to show off the height and range of his voice.
Of course, BTS 's Jimin is the king of high notes.
Because he can balance his voice so well, it allows him to reach the highest notes in his songs with ease.
Another hallmark of Jimin's vocal skills is the husky sound of his low tones, which gives his voice additional depth, texture and deeper emotions.
ARMYs aren't the only ones Jimin's voice . Suga says that he prefers Jimin's voice to other members of the group. In a 2021 interview, Suga spoke about his preferences, saying, “I'm not trying to say who is better than who,” Suga explains, “I personally like Jimin's vocals. I like Jimin's voice better. This is my taste." Suga, we have to agree.
His kindness and generosity
BTS members are known for their kindness, often donating to charity. Jimin is a great example of this generosity and is widely known for his philanthropic activities. In July 2021, he donated 100 million won (about US$91,000) to the Jeonnam Future Education Foundation in South Korea to help needy Jeollanam-do students continue their studies. In gratitude for this, Jimin was inducted into the Jeongnam Education Hall of Fame. That same year, Jimin continued to help children in need by donating desks and chairs for 1,200 students at Busan Arts High School, which he previously attended.
Last year, Jimin also donated 100 million won to the Busan Metropolitan Government Office of Education.
Jimin not only actively donates to charity, but is also kind to his friends and bandmates. In an interview with Hulu Japan, Jay Hope called Jimin "a great performer but also an amazing friend." Other members also repeatedly mentioned his kindness.
Jimin's kindness and generosity inspire millions of people around the world. His good deeds have inspired his fans to take a more active role in helping others by donating to various charities around the world.
His influence on social networks
It's incredible that while touring the world as part of one of the biggest stars on the planet, Jimin had free time for social media - but somehow he dominated the digital world too.
Jimin in the past , regularly posting through BTS's to give fans a glimpse into the group's daily life, along with selfies to take ARMY behind the scenes. He also posts hilarious photos of his bandmates - especially on their birthdays.
In addition, Jimin holds the record for the most keywords and hashtags in the TOP 30 Twitter trends . In 2021, he became the first person in Twitter history to take all 20 places in global trends. In 2021, he broke that record by trending a staggering 28 keywords and hashtags on his birthday.
He also holds the record for the fastest tweet to reach 1 million likes. It's no surprise that Jimin has become one of the top 10 most followed celebrities on Twitter over the past few years. The only solo artist in K-pop to do this.
On Instagram, #jimin , his official hashtag, topped the charts with 55 million posts, making him the person with the most used hashtag on the platform. And these are just some of the social media records that he owns.
Its brand strength
Jimin is a style icon. If you didn't already know it from his fashion on and off stage, the proof is in the fact that the brands he wears always sell out quickly - no matter how much they cost. This is the power of Jimin's star quality.
In November 2021, Weverse began selling one of the most expensive items to support the BE album: $91 pajamas embroidered with Jimin's exquisite handwriting. Despite the high price, it sold out in a record 10 minutes thanks to Jimin's marketing efforts.
issue of Wallstreet Journal with Jimin on the cover ranks #1 in sales across the top 4 online stores in South Korea. This proves his enormous brand strength both at home and abroad.
Selling style doesn't stop there. During BTS's 2021 BBMAs performance of "Boy with Luv," Jimin rocked a pair of subtle WOOGIE 02(P) sunglasses in pink—and naturally, ARMY wanted them too. Despite the hefty $280 price tag, the glasses sold out within a day... in an astonishing 14 different countries. It's no wonder brands all over the world want Jimin to notice them.

The story of how Kim Sokchin got into BTS is interesting and extraordinary. The young man dreamed of becoming an actor and studied at Konkuk University (specialty - “art and acting”).
One day, an SM Entertainment manager saw him on the street and asked him to audition. But Sokchin did not believe the agent and refused.
The next time, in exactly the same situation, the manager of Big Hit Entertainment caught the young man and convinced him to come to the audition. Having no musical or dance experience, Kim auditioned as an actor.
Jin’s perseverance and diligence (this is the pseudonym the guy invented for himself) bore fruit, and today he is a famous vocalist of a boy band.
