Park Ji-min (Korean: 박지민; born October 13, 1995), known mononymously as Jimin, is a South Korean singer and dancer. In 2013, he made his debut as a member of the South Korean boy band BTS, under the record label Big Hit Entertainment.
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. He released his first credited solo song, the digital track “Promise”, which he co-wrote, in 2018 and recorded the duet “With You” with Ha Sung-woon for the soundtrack for the TvN drama Our Blues in 2022. Jimin released his debut solo album, Face in 2023. It debuted at number one in South Korea and Japan, and number two in the United States, while its second single, “Like Crazy“, debuted at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100. He is the highest-charting Korean solo artist of all time on the Billboard 200 and the first to top the Hot 100.
Early life and Education
Park Ji-min was born on October 13, 1995, in Geumjeong District, Busan, South Korea. 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] In middle school, he attended Just Dance Academy, where he learned popping and locking.[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. 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.
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.
Personal life
Since 2018, Jimin has lived in Hannam-dong, Seoul, South Korea, with his bandmates. In 2021, he purchased property in the area worth US$5.3 million.
Health
In 2017, during BTS’ Wings Tour, Jimin was unable to participate in the show in Macau due to neck and shoulder cramping. 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.
