It was when he was in middle school that Park Jimin became interested in dance and started attending Just Dance Academy, where he learned popping and locking. He decided to audition for an entertainment company a few years later at the suggestion of a teacher at his high school. This led him to Big Hit Entertainment—he passed his auditions and joined the company in 2012. Jimin jumped into his training head first, waking up earlier and going to bed later than everyone else. It was this work ethic, which his dance teachers had noticed in him years before, that would earn him the final spot in the lineup of the group that would become Bangtan Sonyeondan. Over the years after BTS’ debut this drive would lead Jimin down a path of intense self-criticism, soul-searching, and self-realization. While he would begin his career desperate to live up to the image everyone else had of him, eventually he’d come to realize that the best person he could give to BTS and his fans was just himself…

I could start and end with just that sentence alone, and anyone who has watched this man over the last ten-plus years would agree. He's an angel on earth. A place of safety, acceptance, and pure love for many. And everyone who has been exposed to THE Park Jimin agrees that once you JimIN, you can't JimOut.
