BIOGRAPHY

Kim Seok-jin was scouted on the street by a Big Hit talent spotter in 2011 with no prior performance training — he had studied acting, not music or dance. He taught himself the skills required for K-pop while training and debuted as BTS's eldest member. In 2022 he enlisted for mandatory Korean military service, becoming the first BTS member to do so, and was discharged in June 2024 to widespread international media coverage.

Beyond K-pop

Gaming — he streams regularly and is known in Korean gaming communities — cooking elaborate meals, and a wide-ranging gag-style humour he pursues as a genuine craft.
