Early life and education


Kim Seok-jin was born on December 4, 1992, in Gwacheon, Gyeonggi Province, South
Korea.[1][2] His family consists of his mother, father and older brother. [3] In 2007, he went to
a study camp in Australia to help learn English.[4]
He originally wished to be a journalist. But after watching Kim Nam-gil in Queen
Seondeok he decided to pursue acting.[5] While in junior high school, Kim
was scouted by South Korean K-pop agency SM Entertainment off the street, but he
rejected the offer at the time.[6] He initially intended to be an actor, attending Konkuk
University and graduating with a degree in art and acting on February 22, 2017. [7] He
enrolled in graduate school at Hanyang Cyber University, to pursue studies in areas
other than music.[8]

Career
2013–present: BTS
Kim performing as a member of BTS in September 2014.

Main article: BTS
Kim was scouted by Big Hit Entertainment for his looks while walking down the street.
[9]
 At the time Kim was studying acting and had no background in music. [10] Subsequently,
he auditioned for Big Hit as an actor before becoming an idol trainee.[11] On June 13,
2013, Kim made his debut as one of the four vocalists in BTS with their debut single
album 2 Cool 4 Skool.[12] Kim released his first co-produced track, a solo single from the
album Wings titled "Awake", in 2016.[10] The song peaked at number 31 on the Gaon
Music Chart and six on the Billboard World Digital Singles Chart.[13][14] In December 2016,
he released a Christmas version of "Awake" on SoundCloud.[15]
On August 9, 2018, the second solo by Kim, "Epiphany", was released as a trailer for
BTS' then-upcoming compilation album Love Yourself: Answer. The song was
described as a "building pop-rock melody" by Billboard and contains lyrics discussing
self-acceptance and self-love.[16] The full version of the song was eventually released as
a track on Answer,[17] peaking at number 30 on the Gaon Music Chart and four on
the Billboard World Digital Singles Chart.[18][19] In October, he was awarded the fifth-class
Hwagwan Order of Cultural Merit by South Korean president Moon Jae-in along with
other members of the group.[20]
He released his third solo song with BTS, "Moon", on the 2020 studio album Map of the
Soul: 7. Variety writer Jae-Ha Kim described "Moon" as a power pop song addressed to
BTS fans.[21] "Moon" peaked at number one on the Gaon Digital Chart and number two
on Billboard's US World Digital Singles chart.[22][23]
In July 2021, he was appointed Special Presidential Envoy for Future Generations and
Culture by President Moon Jae-in, along with the other members of BTS, to help "lead
the global agenda for future generations, such as sustainable growth" and "expand
South Korea's diplomatic efforts and global standing" in the international community. [24]
2015–present: Solo activities
Kim collaborated with fellow BTS member V on the song "It's Definitely You", released
as part of the Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth original soundtrack.[25][26] He also joined
BTS member Jungkook to sing and release an alternate version of "So Far Away", a
song from BTS member Suga's self-titled mixtape Agust D.[15] Kim's solo covers include
"Mom" by Ra.D, "I Love You" by Mate, and "In Front Of The Post Office In Autumn",
originally by Yoon Do-hyun in 1994.[27][28][29] They were released on SoundCloud on May 7,
2015,[30] December 3, 2015,[28] and June 7, 2018,[15] respectively. He has also made
several appearances as a co-host for Korean music award shows, such as Music
Bank and Inkigayo.[31]
On June 4, 2019, Kim released his first independent song "Tonight" as part of the 2019
BTS Festa, a yearly event celebrating the anniversary of the band's debut.
[32]
 The acoustic ballad was composed by Kim, alongside Big Hit Entertainment record
producers Slow Rabbit and Hiss Noise. The lyrics, written by Kim and BTS leader RM,
[33]
 are inspired by Kim's relationship with his pets. [34] The track was met with a generally
positive reception, with praise for Kim's vocals and the song's calming atmosphere. [35]
On December 3, 2020, Kim released his second solo song "Abyss" a day before his
28th birthday. The acoustic ballad was composed by Kim and fellow BTS member RM,
alongside record producers BUMZU and Pdogg. The lyrics, written by Kim, BUMZU and
RM, were inspired by Kim's feelings of anxiety, doubt, and burnout. In a post on the
official BTS blog, Kim spoke about his insecurities regarding music and how those
darker emotions drove him to write and release the song. [36]
On October 1, 2021, it was confirmed that Kim would be singing the main OST theme
song for the upcoming tvN drama Jirisan.[37]

Artistry

Kim at the Korean Popular Culture and Arts Awards on October 24, 2018.

Kim is a tenor and can play the guitar.[38][39] In Kim Young-dae's 2019 novel BTS: The
Review, members of the Grammy panel stated that his voice has stable breath control
and a strong falsetto, calling it a "silver voice".[40] Journalist Choi Song-hye, writing
for Aju News, wrote that BTS singles such as "Spring Day" and "Fake Love" displayed
Kim's vocal stability, while the b-side "Jamais Vu" did so for his emotional range.[6] Hong
Hye-min of The Korea Times described Kim's voice as "tender, sorrowful, [and] free-
spirited" and considered it to be the "standout element" on the solo ballad "Epiphany".
[41]
 Critic Park Hee-a, when discussing "Epiphany", stated that Kim "sings the most
sentimental emotions" of the solo tracks on Love Yourself: Answer. In a review of "Fake
Love", Park said that Kim's belting "prove[d] [the song's] effectiveness". [42]

Public image
Philanthropy
In December 2018, Kim donated various supplies to the Korean Animal Welfare
Association to celebrate his birthday, purchasing food, blankets, and dishes for the
organization.[43] He also donated 321 kilograms of food to the Korea Animal Rights
Advocates (KARA), another Korean animal welfare non-profit organization. [44]
Since May 2018, Kim has been a monthly donor to UNICEF Korea, requesting that his
donations be kept private at the time. They were eventually publicized following his
induction into the UNICEF Honors Club in May 2019 for donating over ₩100 million
(about US$84,000).[45]
Influence
In 2019, he was ranked as the overall 13th most popular idol and 6th among girls aged
13–19 in South Korea, via data collected by analytics company Gallup Korea.[46]

Personal life
As of 2018, Kim lives in Hannam-dong, Seoul, South Korea.[47][48] Additionally, he and his
older brother opened a Japanese-style restaurant in Seoul called Ossu Seiromushi in
2018.[49]
