Jimin

## Park Jimin

**Park Jimin** is a member of BTS and student at Korea University, who is also a gifted singer. He is notorious for being a hard-working perfectionist. He and the gang are a pivotal part when friend’s disappearance has become the focus of an intense media circus. Jimin sees the spotlight turned on them when it’s suspected that they may not be innocent.

Jimin is the resident “Prince Charming”, but he doesn’t think he deserves the recognition he gets, and he is always looking out for others. Whenever the young man and his friends walked through the streets of Seoul, Jimin turned heads of all the townspeople; men and women, all fell for his stunning, god-like beauty. While his irresistible beauty is glaringly apparent to anyone with just one glance at the 22-year-old young man, Jimin had other traits that everyone found far more endearing than his physical appearance: namely his easygoing and friendly countenance, positive outlook, respectful demeanor, and generally sweet nature overall.

Jimin carries himself with a powerful air of confidence; he knew that he was desired by the majority of the campus and he let that factor play into his poise. He walks around campus as if he owned it, but *not* in the egotistical and arrogant way -- Jimin is, without a doubt, humble. If someone dropped their papers on the ground, he’d be the first person to volunteer to help pick them up. If someone was a couple dollars short for their morning coffee, he’d willingly pay the extra amount. Jimin can have a special place in anyone’s heart since he can easily make anyone smile and brighten up. He is Jimin, he is always true to himself. Jimin has a considerate, outgoing, and kind-hearted personality. His charismatic character brings him up and has earned him respect from students and professors. He has never failed to go all out in his performances and real expressions.

Dancing is the only way Jimin has a say in what he does, in how he expresses himself, in the emotions he shares with the small crowds who come to watch his performances. He can choose to move his body this way or that way, and he can choose to flash a smile at pretty girls. And it doesn’t feel forced when he dances. His smile, that is. He really does love dancing, loves the spotlight, loves the positive attention. Jimin knows exactly how to shape his expression, as the group and him dancing in front of mirrors, to draw everyone in the room’s eyes towards him, no matter what the others are doing. Sometimes, Jimin isn’t sure that he doesn’t even know he is doing it; it just comes naturally to a kid who likes to dance and who wants everyone to see how the music affects him, who wants to share that joy. Jimin will practice and practice and practice and practice, even when he has the routine down a hundred-and-twenty percent, he will keep practicing until J-Hope has to force him to stop.

Like his friends, he is a firm believer in not allowing society’s stereotypes and expectations define who a person wants to identify themselves as. It isn’t uncommon to find him wandering around the fashion industry wearing a skirt that cropped just below his backside and a shirt that lifted to display a lean, soft stomach. He’d wear knee-high socks and heels and not give a flying fart if people thought it was a weird combination; because Jimin loved the way he dressed, and it was obvious to everyone else around him.

## **Physical Appearance**

Like Taehyung, Jin and Cho-min, Jimin’s supernatural beauty is beyond description. The impact of Jimin’s beauty is very hypnotic, seductive, and even unforgettable. People would talk about him as if he were the male counterpart of Aphrodite incarnated as a mortal. Many went to the extent of saying that he was even fairer than the goddess of beauty. In the past, Jimin actually wished for regular looks because he didn’t want overwhelming attention.

From top to bottom, Jimin is a piece of art crafted by the hands of God himself, every inch being a thing of utmost perfection. Like Jin, Jimin has got those Western European features going on. Except, minus his eyes, and his smaller face, he doesn’t look East Asian. What’s super interesting, is the way they do his eye makeup, because they accentuate his almond-shaped eyes really well. This makes the fact that his eyes are more Caucasian-looking than not, really interesting, too. He has that East Asian inner corner shape, and that’s the only way you know that he is from that region. Alter that shape or give him double eyelids, and he will cease to look Korean. He has always had that straight down and bumped shape to his nose. Unlike Jin, and because of his nose, Jimin also is very ruggedly handsome, with a slight prettiness too. And of course, those plush, pillow lips he has. His cupid’s bow is so subtle on his upper lip, that depending on how he flexes his lips, we don’t really see it. And then his lips make this amazing football shape. His lips are big, but, they also seem deceptively bigger because of his teeth. He has an overbite, and his upper row of teeth are angled forward a bit more than average, so they push his lips forward more. He looks like he is always slightly puckering his lips. Jimin has a square yet rounded chin. Like Suga, he has this amazingly distinctive feature that none of the other guys have. The way he telegraphs how he feels and what he’s thinking is really amazing. An open-lipped smile can make him look so sweet and innocent, and one of his dark stares can make him look like he wants to wrap himself in sheets with you.

Jimin is a big fan of simple designs and colors, but he spices them up with an edgy leather jacket, a pair of square-framed sunglasses, or unique necklaces. His wardrobe is also a good mix of casual clothes and designer pieces from *Gucci* and *Balenciaga*. Jimin loves playing around with different styles and making them his own. He’s a big fan of plaids and oversized pieces. He wears asymmetrical shirts tucked into tight jeans paired with fancy shoes. Jimin is also a big fan of genderless clothing. He can rock a woman’s sweater, shirt or corset like it’s no big deal. Lace chokers, tweed *Chanel* jackets, frilly blouses, silk pants -- Jimin’s beauty transcends labels and so does his wardrobe.

## **Personality and Traits**

Soft-spoken, serene and humble, Jimin’s usual demeanor suits his effeminate appearance perfectly. Always willing to put others before himself, both in terms of well-being and social standing, Jimin usually refers to others with the noble honorific. He carries himself with an air of amicable temperance, politely conversing with the people he encounters and freely giving his meager services to those who need a hand. Jimin doesn’t hesitate to put himself in the path of harm to shield those around him and often attempts to diffuse contentious situations with soft, calming words and a somewhat clownish personality involving feigned clumsiness.

Jimin naturally can turn on the charm like a switch, and there are very few people who have not melted at least a little bit when he flashes a smile and praises someone -- especially since the praise is always about something sincere, even if very small. He knows exactly how to act so that the lunch lady would think he was sweet and give him an extra brownie, or so that neighbors would make goody-bags for him during Halloween. He knows just what to say to encourage a specific emotion in someone, and a natural kind streak in him helps to boost his appearance of being a modern gentleman of sorts -- pulling out chairs for others and other little things that seem to make people like him more.

While Jimin is a nice guy, he can give a **mean** death glare when he wants. It takes a lot to anger Jimin, but once he is angered there is nothing that will stand in his way until he gets his point across. Jimin dislikes any type of violent tendencies. While it wasn’t bad in itself that he avoids violence, he doesn’t even try to defend himself. When it comes to defending his friends, he actually goes down on his knees because he ‘can’t’ even slap Cho-min’s hand away. However, after this incident, he does become very frustrated with not being able to stand up for his friends, it makes him feel very powerless, so then he changes his mind to actually start putting in more effort at learning to fight -- or at least, learning how to defend himself -- at school.

Like Jungkook, Jimin well-known for being a perfectionist. When Jimin does something, he never does it halfway. That may work well enough for some people, but not for him, and especially not for something that he has come to love. The young man is incredibly passionate when it comes to doing the things which are important to him, singing and dancing alike being perfect examples of this. However, unlike Jungkook, Jimin can do long hours with little to no rest or food, working without pause to practice, practice, practice until he can get his choreography correct every time; even in drawing. Even in singing, Jimin is practicing all the time. He does not sit around, sing a few lines, and let the computer fix his voice. He practices and keeps at it, persevering until he can hit that high note flawlessly. Skill is not based on pure talent. Talent surely helps, but Jimin’s skills that awe and wow people to speechlessness are because of his self-discipline and dedication to his passion. His favorite thing is not to succeed at everything, but to succeed at that which he has put himself out there doing -- which he has worked as hard as he possibly can to prefect. Of course, he likes to do things well when he does them, and has been a perfectionist ever since he was young. Since then, perfection is what he aspires to, and even if he doesn’t always reach it, Jimin works and pushes himself until he is numb trying to get to it. He expects the best possible from himself, and becomes somewhat frustrated when he doesn’t reach that -- energy which he only places into working harder.

Tormented by his low self-esteem and constant need to make everyone around him happy, Jimin has developed a somewhat acute appreciation for life and has taken a vow in his heart to do everything within his power to protect people from feeling hurt or depressed. This vow is the defining characteristic of Jimin’s personality. Despite this, however, he holds his own existence cheap and carries in his heart a grievous guilt that prevents him from becoming emotionally close to the people around him and compels him to a life of humble service and selfless personal sacrifice. Jimin freely accepts that any grudges against his past self are well-deserved; he remembers the face of every person he has wronged and will face their hatred or judgment without complaint, believing that he does not deserve the same happiness as others. Spending much of his alone time in quiet contemplation of his past misdeeds and future retribution, Jimin often ponders what the right path toward redemption is and laments each life lost due to his weakness. As such, he has a tendency toward trying to solve problems all by himself and alienating his friends and peers with secrecy so as to keep them from becoming involved in his risky endeavors. Having lived his own life carrying heavy regrets, Jimin is reluctant to judge others for their personal actions, beliefs or mistakes and always offers hopeful encouragement so that those who have stumbled onto the wrong path might redeem themselves in the future. However, when forced to draw his sword against those who abuse their power and undervalue the lives of others, Jimin’s calm temperament gives way to a marked intensity capable of intimidating even other skilled dancers and singers and can go so far as to become a powerful fury, despite his compulsion toward diplomacy.
