Kim Seok-jin has helped the septet top the charts in South Korea and the United States with songs including ‘Fake Love’, ‘DNA’ and ‘Blood, Sweat & Tears’
If you do not know Jin from K-pop boy band BTS very well, you may never have heard that he is a warm-hearted, talented and funny guy who always tells dad jokes.
As Kim Seok-jin celebrates his 27th birthday on Wednesday, December 4, we take a look at three things you may not know about the oldest member and vocalist of BTS.
A talented and hardworking vocalist
Since BTS released its US breakthrough single Fake Love last year, the band has become an international phenomenon, kick-starting a global craze for all things Korean.
The group snatched the Billboard Music Award for Top Social Artist title in 2018, and topped the Billboard US World Digital Songs chart.
As one of the band’s four vocalists, Jin had little experience in singing and dancing before joining the band.
But right now, because of his hard work, he has honed his skills and become one of the icons in the septet.
Late last year, BTS solidified their border-crossing credentials when they teamed up with American producer Steve Aoki for their first English song Waste It on Me.
