BTS are the K-pop group storming the whole world with their impeccable dancing, singing, and rapping.

Theyre gaining traction here in the UK, and have a tour coming up, as well as spots on national TV.

Even if youve never heard of them before, you will soon. Find out about one of their members – Jimin.

Jimin was born Park Jimin and is nicknamed Chim Chim because bandmate Jungkook teases him for being the shortest member of the group.

Jimin is the lead vocalist and second lead dancer in BTS and is one of the youngest members of the band, born 13 October 1995.

His hometown is Busan, which is on the south-east coast of South Korea and is sometimes considered the countrys second city.

From there, a lineup was created (with Jimin as the last to join), BTS was born, and nothing has been the same for Jimin and his bandmates again.

Sweetheart Jimin told a magazine that his favourite movie was The Notebook, and some fans call him cute mochi.

Rumours went around that the 22-year-old was dating Seulgi of girl group Red Velvet, although it turned out that these claims were based on altered videos of the two.

It was later revealed that Han Seung-yeon of KARA was interested in Jimin, but no relationship came of it.

When asked about what he wanted from his love life, he allegedly said in an interview on Japanese TV:

I should work hard so that my girlfriend doesnt look away. I think that love is fair so I have give her as much as I require from her. I wish for a love story that I love one woman forever.

Jimin has an estimated net worth of $8.3 million.
