Jimin’s Biography
The famous Asian singer was born in Geumjeong District, Busan, located in South Korea on the 13th of October 1995. He was called Park Ji-min at birth but later shortened the name to just Jimin to suit his stage image. The singer’s dad Park Pil-Woo owns and runs a café (known as Alice’s Table) in Busan, and though his mother’s profession is not known, she has been identified as Park Mi-Jeong.
The celebrated singer and dancer did not grow up as an only child, he was brought up in his native Busan alongside Park Jihyun – his younger brother who was born in 1997. Jimin is selfless when it comes to family, according to the BTS singer, he has so much in common with his younger sibling and they even laugh in the same way.
He achieved his earliest academic qualifications from Hodong Elementary School in Busan and later proceeded to Yonsan Middle School. Jimin’s days at middle school were very eventful as the budding musician enrolled with Just Dance Academy where he proceeded to learn the locking and popping dance. Before he became a trainee, the young star attended Busan High School of Arts to study contemporary dance, emerging as a top student in the department of modern dance.
One of his teachers gave him the suggestion to go for an audition with an entertainment company which eventually led the young entertainer to Big Hit Entertainment. After scaling through the auditions in 2012, he joined his country’s Arts High School, graduating a couple of years later in 2014. Presently, he is a student of Global Cyber University.

He currently functions as a dancer cum vocalist in BTS, and under the umbrella of the group, the young musician has launched a couple of solo songs Serendipity and Lie released via the album Wings in 2016.
The track which was described as dramatic and stunning conveyed dark undertones as well as emotions that aided in the reflection of the overall concept of the album.
Conversely, Serendipity which came under the 2017 album Love Yourself was perceived as sensual and soft, unraveling the joy, curiosity, and convictions of love. Both tracks exceeded fifty million streams on Spotify.
