Early life and education
Park Ji-min was born on October 13, 1995, inGeumjeong District,Busan, South Korea.[4] He is of theMilyang Park clan.[5] 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 learnedpopping andlocking.[6] Prior to becoming a trainee, Jimin studiedcontemporary dance at Busan High School of Arts and was a top student in the modern dance department.[7] A teacher suggested that he join an entertainment company, leading him toBig Hit Entertainment. Once he passed the auditions in 2012, he transferred toKorean Arts High School, graduating in 2014.[8]
Jimin graduated from Global Cyber University in August 2020 with a major in Broadcasting and Entertainment. He was awarded the President's Award, the school's highest honor.[9] As of 2021, he is enrolled atHanyang Cyber University, pursuing aMaster of Business Administration in Advertising and Media.[10]
Jimin was the last Big Hit trainee to be added to the lineup that would eventually becomeBTS. Of the band's seven members, he spent the shortest period of time—six months—as a trainee prior to debuting.[11] On June 13, 2013, he debuted as a vocalist and dancer in BTS with the song "No More Dream" from their first single2 Cool 4 Skool.[12] 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.[13] In contrast, "Serendipity", from the band'sLove Yourself: Her (2017)extended play (EP), was soft and sensual, expressing the joy, conviction, and curiosity of love.[14] "Filter", a track from BTS' 2020 studio albumMap of the Soul: 7, had aLatin pop flair, with lyrics reflecting the different sides of Jimin that he shows to the world and those around him.[15] Jimin additionally co-wrote and co-produced another track included on that album, "Friends", which was later featured in theMarvel Studios filmEternals.[16]
"Serendipity" and "Lie" both surpassed fifty million streams onSpotify 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, surpassingPsy, who previously crossed the 50 million streams mark twice with "Gangnam Style" (2012) and "Gentleman" (2013).[17][18] Both songs were also the only solos by a BTS member included in theOfficial 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.[19] 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.[20][21]
In May 2019, Jimin became the first BTS member to have a solo music video achieve 100 million views onYouTube when "Serendipity" surpassed the milestone.[22][23] 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.[24][25] The following month, Jimin earned his first entry on theBillboard Hot 100 with "Filter", which debuted at number 87 on the chart,[26] 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.[27][28] It was also the only solo album track by BTS to receive a Song of the Year nomination at theGaon Chart Music Awards.[29][30] In March 2021, "Filter" became the 15th BTS song to spend a full year onBillboard'sWorld Digital Song Sales chart.[31][32] It was the longest-charting Korean song released in 2020 on the ranking,[33] having spent 80 weeks on the chart as of the issue dated October 9, 2021.[34]
