Early life and education

Park Ji-min was born on October 13, 1995, in Geumjeong District, Busan, South Korea. [3] He is of the Milyang Park clan. [4] 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. [2] In middle school, he attended Just Dance Academy, where he learned popping and locking. [5] 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. [6] 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. [7]

Jimin graduated from Global Cyber University in August 2020 with a major in Broadcasting and Entertainment.

Jimin was the last Big Hit trainee to be added to the lineup that would eventually become BTS. Of the band's seven members, he spent the shortest period of time—six months—as a trainee prior to debuting. [9] On June 13, 2013, he debuted as a vocalist and dancer in BTS with the song "No More Dream" from their first single 2 Cool 4 Skool. [10] 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. [11] 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. [12] "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. [13] Jimin additionally co-wrote and co-produced another track included on that album, "Friends", which was later featured in the Marvel Studios film Eternals . [14]

"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 previously crossed the 50 million streams mark twice with "Gangnam Style" (2012) and "Gentleman" (2013). [15] [16] Both songs were also the only solos by a BTS member included in the Official Charts Company 's (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. [17] In April 2019, the list was expanded to reflect the top 40, and both tracks were the highest ranked solos included that year, at numbers 18 and 20 respectively. [18] [19]

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. [20] [21] He remained the only BTS member with multiple solo songs in the January 2020 update of the OCC's top 40 list: "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. [22] [23] The following month, Jimin earned his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 with "Filter", which debuted at number 87 on the chart, [24] as well his first number one on the World Digital Song Sales chart. The song set the record for the biggest streaming debut among all Korean songs on Spotify, accruing 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. [25] [26] It was also the only solo album track by BTS to receive a Song of the Year nomination at the Gaon Chart Music Awards. [27] [28] In March 2021, "Filter" became the 15th BTS song to spend a full year on Billboard's World Digital Song Sales chart. [29] [30] It was the longest-charting Korean song released in 2020 on the ranking, [31] having spent 80 weeks on the chart as of the issue dated October 9, 2021. [32]

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. [33] 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. [34]

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. [35] The two collaborated again in 2017, on a cover of Charlie Puth 's "We Don't Talk Anymore" featuring Selena Gomez. [36] 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. [37] [38] Teen Vogue wrote that "adding Jimin's voice to the mix makes the rendition all the more lovely", [37] while the Canadian outlet Flare magazine stated that "it honestly might be better than the original". [39] Elite Daily described the cover as "nothing short of flawless". [35]

Jimin appeared on several variety shows such as Hello Counselor , Please Take Care of My Refrigerator , and God's Workplace in 2016. [40] He also served as a special MC on domestic television music programs such as Show! Music Core and M Countdown . [41] [42] In December 2016, he participated in a dance duet at the KBS Song Festival with Taemin from Shinee. [43]

On December 30, 2018, Jimin released "Promise", his first credited song as a solo artist, for free on BTS' SoundCloud page. [44] 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, [45] and would go on to become the most streamed song on the platform by December 2021, with over 300 million streams. [46] Described by Billboard as a "mellow pop ballad", [47] the song was composed by Jimin and Big Hit producer Slow Rabbit, who also produced the track, [48] and features lyrics written by Jimin and bandmate RM. [47] Jimin released his second solo song "Christmas Love", about his childhood memories of the holidays, on December 24, 2020. [49] 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. [50]

In January 2023, Jimin co-wrote and featured on the single "Vibe" by Taeyang. [51] [52] His first official solo project since BTS announced an increased focus on individual music endeavors a year prior, [53] the single earned Jimin his debut entry on the Billboard Hot 100 as a solo artist, at number 76. [54] He was announced as a global ambassador for Dior later that month, [55] and for Tiffany & Co. in March. [56] "Promise" and "Christmas Love" were made available on streaming platforms worldwide as official singles under Jimin's name on March 6. [57] His debut solo album Face was released on March 24. [58] It set several chart and sales records, debuting at number one in South Korea and Japan, [59] and number two in the US, making Jimin the highest-charting Korean solo artist of all time on the Billboard 200. [60] [61] The album's two singles, "Set Me Free Pt. 2" and "Like Crazy", released on March 17 and 24 respectively, [62] [63] both entered the Hot 100: the former debuted at number 30, [64] while the latter debuted at number one, making Jimin the first South Korean solo artist in history to top the chart. [65] The album's release led Jimin to become the first Korean solo artist to reach number one on the Billboard Artist 100. [66] In May, he appeared as a featured artist, alongside Jvke and Muni Long, on the single "Angel Pt. 1" by Kodak Black and NLE Choppa, as part of the soundtrack for the film Fast X . [67] The digital single "Closer Than This" was released on December 22, shortly after Jimin enlisted in the South Korean Army.
