Every Kpop fan probably knows BTS and one of their members that goes under the stage name JIN. Eight years into his career as an idol he has achieved many things and built his own image in the industry. However, there are still many facts about Kim Seokjin (real name) you may not know. Let's see the reasons to stan Kim Seokjin!

1) He is a great singer.

Seokjin has the widest range in BTS - he has a beautiful voice for low notes and the widest belting range. He is a tenor, but can belt up to B5 - which is a female register. The distinctive feature of his vocals is the emotions he is able to convey through every line. Vocals is one of the main reasons he goes viral very frequently.

"Jin ssi you have one of the widest range in our team"

Moreover, he is critically acclaimed. Seokjin has Grammys, KMA (Korean Grammy), NME, The Rolling Stones, World Music Awards and etc. praised him personally out of all members.

Fck it a thread on Seokjin being complimented on his Vocal skills by professional vocal coaches

Akjinbts

Solo songs and covers are usually the main reason people start loving Seokjin!

2) He is very smart.

Seokjin's MBTI is INTP - "The Scientists," "The Logician." As a person, he is introverted but brings out the extraversion as a tool of creating a comfortable atmosphere among a group of people. Seokjin is known for his jokes that he usually uses to lessen the tension. Not all people understand that his wordplays and difficult jokes are a product of very fast thinking and associative processes.

Before becoming an idol, Seokjin got into one of the most prestigious universities all by himself - he says his parents never forced him to study. According to Seokjin's words, his favorite subject was the Philosophy of Life and Death. Besides that, he studied Economics and Politics. It is not a surprise because he tends to make philosophically very interesting and deep statements and is able to hold conversations about the ways of perceiving life.

Seokjin reads many books and is very good at writing - his poetry always shows the beautiful uniqueness of his mind. BTS members admit Seokjin influenced their perception of life a lot.

More than that, Seokjin always wins all mind games in RUN BTS! No one can compete with his analytical abilities.

"Bright background.
In a set full of flowers
The mountain spirit whispered to me
'I'll start over'"

Kim Seokjin plays mind games with such ease that you are bound to be confused!
RUN ep88 yet again showed us how good he is at these games.
His analytical problem solving skills are just amazing!

Seokjin also knows Japanese, Chinese, English and speaks in all of them very fast.

3) He is very athletic.

Let's start by looking at how incredibly flexible he is. BTS says he is their most flexible member. Seokjin never had any ballet training as a child because he had different interests, yet he can easily repeat the ballet dancers' movements! One of his interests is yoga where he develops his flexibility even more.

here's a compilation

when I had ballet classes I would leave the room panting because of this battement fuckers and seokjin just does them so effortlessly??? not to mention his arabesque which he also does so effortlessly.... if he studied dance from tender age he would be perfect in ballet

As a child, Seokjin started loving running (he got 4th place in his school), swimming, tennis (won the Tennis Championship on RUN BTS), golf, snowboarding. He knows how to play billiards, rides the bicycle without hands, does boxing, good at archery, knows taekwondo, great at basketball, great at all kinds of water sports, he even showed great skills at roller skating.

4) He is a great actor.

It's a known fact Seokjin decided to become an idol when he already was 18-20 years old. Before that, he considered the idol career not interesting (he was street-casted by SM Ent twice before BigHit and even passed the audition) and was half-way on becoming a Korean actor. At the age of 18 (before being cast by BigHit) he enrolled into Konkuk - the most prestigious acting university in Korea. This university is very popular even Worldwide but Seokjin's department accepts only 10 students every year. That is why some people try to get into Konkuk for a few years, trying to pass the exam and audition again and again. When Seokjin was applying to Konkuk, he had 2,012 competitors the rate was 200:1 - everyone had a 0.5% chance. The first exam was free acting and out of all 2000+ people, only 100 passed including Seokjin. The second exam was assigned acting and this is when the final 10 formed including Seokjin. Getting into any university in Korea is super competitive - getting into Konkuk is insanely competitive. One detail that makes everything even more shocking is that Seokjin got into the university on an early admission which makes the competitive rate even higher. Seokjin achieved it purely with his acting skills. He said everyone was going up to the third floor of the Konkuk building to see who he was (the person who got into Konkuk on a first try on an early admission). Besides that, Seokjin also got into the Sejong University that also has the 10 people quota and 1:157 competition but decided to go to Konkuk.

- 2nd stage is assigned acting and speciality score where he passed and got into the final 10.

Seokjin finished the university with a double major - film and animation. All while also being an idol, training day and night, and participating in tours.

His melodies have been used in many BTS songs after that as well. Seokjin says he writes 30 melodies per day. "Moon" that was composed and written by him became one of the most successful songs BTS ever released. The song received major success on all charts, broke records, and became the favorite song of critics. "Moon" was named the 5th best boyband song ever in history by Rolling Stones (The only Kpop song in Top10) and added to the Top 20 best songs of 2020 by them being the only Kpop song on the list. Vox named it the song that deserves №1 on Billboard. Seokjin also has solo songs "Tonight" and "Abyss". Both of the songs received major love and success. His uniqueness in songwriting is shown in the beautiful very creative themes and metaphors of lyrics, the melodies are always very beautiful and catching sounding like nothing ever released before. Seokjin's songs are also known for being hard to sing - it's true he always adds difficult singing techniques in his self-written songs as well as conveying emotions so impressive that no one can recreate it.

7) He has a great personality.

Seokjin is widely known for having a very kind, unique, and respectful personality. Among Knetz he has a nickname "Manner idol". In real life, Seokjin believes in positive vision - he always lives in the present, finds little happiness in everything. He has a very accepting nature - he never judges anyone for anything and rather takes the blame on himself instead of making someone feel even a little bit uncomfortable. Reading people very well is one of his abilities - that is why he has a special way of approaching all people. BTS describes Seokjin as a very open-minded person - he finds the best in all people, genuinely respects everyone.

Namjoon said "Jin is hardworking, open minded, makes songs in his own style. Works hard even during his spare time, inspires & motivate him to work hard too"

Seokjin is a genius & talented musician. Talent combined with his hard work he makes masterpieces

He has spoken up about such problems as Global warming and racism.

Jin being thorough about how to recycle artificial flowers because he was cautious about the environment, Jin wanting a hero with powers to solve global warming, Jin the hero we all need, methinks.

In the episode of BTS being pranked by meeting a crying woman in the elevator Seokjin was the only one who immediately asked if she was okay instead of acting weird. In 2015 BTS wanted to prank Seokjin on his Birthday by making a random woman lie in his bed when he was away from his hotel room with TV reporters. When he entered the room and saw the woman he immediately started covering the cameras so they would not ruin her privacy.

do you ever think about when it seokjin‘s turn to go on the elevator and he saw the woman crying and asked her if she was okay. he was so worried about her and was trying to give her some comfort so she would stop crying :(( bless his heart

Last year when the members did a hidden camera for seokjin's birthday

btsaraseo

He is very worried about respecting everyone's personal space the same thing was seen when Seokjin, Irene, and Chanyeol were being the MCs of the event.

One of the topics Seokjin often talks about is Mental Health. He has been speaking up about destigmatizing reaching out for the help of the professionals ever since 2016. His new song "Abyss" is on this topic as well.

Seokjin "If you know how to deal with your mental health, it's fine to keep it to yourself. But if you don't, I think it's good you open up because you might have someone around you who knows how to handle it"

The way Seokjin is so understanding on different povs and wise. 😭

Superstarksj

When Seokjin was a child he was dreaming of becoming a news reporter to help people in need.

One of his friends also revealed that he immediately politely offered financial help after finding out the rapper had some life problems.

when rapper sleepy (a friend of seokjin’s), has financial troubles, he mentioned that seokjin offered him help but in such a polite way to make sure sleepy wouldn’t be offended.

8) He is very creative and unique.

Seokjin is known for being a unique creator of many popular things. His own style is not similar to anyone else's. One of the most known examples of his creations is RJ Bt21 character. Seokjin was drawing the fluffy alpaca ever since 2014 and then was able to turn it into a toy. RJ became the most popular character of BT21 always being sold out first and being the most demanded for restocking. The cute RJ has appeared in shows and dramas. It also has a very interesting background history created by Seokjin.

Another popular character is the whale named Kore that became a symbolic character for many. His recent new character - Bangtani. BTS members call Seokjin their trendsetter - he always starts the trends in their team. For example, he was the first one to start wearing a singular earring.

His drawing from the SOOP and RUN BTS self-made costume look like a very unique avant-garde piece of art. Styling clothing is also one of the interests Seokjin has.

"The avant-garde are people or works that are experimental, radical, or unorthodox with respect to art, culture, or society. It is frequently characterized by aesthetic innovation and initial unacceptability"

The good examples are also the "Moon" stage, the Little Prince theme, the futuristic piano that he has ordered for "Epiphany" - many people say Seokjin stands out for them out of the usual Kpop image.

9) He is very hardworking.

After deciding to become an idol at the age of 18-19 Seokjin started training day and night. He already had the training as an actor so he had to switch from the actor voice that he studied before to the singing one. BTS members and professionals always call him the most hardworking person ever - he has learned dancing, singing, songwriting, guitar, piano, harmonica, economics, philosophy, acting all in a span of just a few years developing all of them to the maximum. Seokjin never stops evolving - he always challenges himself in everything he does reaching higher and higher every time. Of course, he is a role model for many.

Kim Seong Eun', the vocal trainer, would always compliment Jin in interviews as the most hardworking student.
