Early life and education

In the course of middle school, he attended Just Dance Academy and mastered popping and locking dance. Before becoming an apprentice, Jimin studied contemporary dance at Busan High School of Arts and was an elite student in the modern dance department. After a teacher suggested it, he auditioned with an entertainment company which led him to Big Hit Entertainment.

When young, Jimin was such a refined boy that he went to the police station to return the 50 cents which he found on the ground.
Jimin’s father did not approve of this change of direction from being a science student to a singer because he wanted him to have a stable job. But when Jimin’s teacher told him about his true talent, he quickly agreed to let his son detain the school of arts.

This one seems patent if you’re an A.R.M.Y. One of Jimin’s pet name is “mochi” which is just too cute to handle! He was the so-called cause of the way he pouts since Jimin’s pout makes his cheeks look soft and squishy, just like the sweet treat!
