Kim Seok-jin, also known by his stage name Jin, was born on December 4, 1992, in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. His family consists of his mother, father, and older brother.
When Seokjin was in junior high school, he was scouted by SM Entertainment off the street, but he rejected the offer because he thought it could be a scam. He initially was interested in being an actor, attending Konkuk University and graduating with a degree in art and acting on February 22nd of 2017.
Jin was hired by Big Hit Entertainment for his looks while walking down the street. At the time, Jin was studying acting and had no idea in music. On June 13, 2013, Jin made his debut as one of the four vocalists in BTS with their debut single album 2 Cool 4 Skool.
Seokjin is considered as a helpful and sympathetic person. In December 2018, he donated various supplies to the Korean Animal Welfare Association to celebrate his birthday, purchasing food, blankets, and dishes for the organization. He also donated 321 kilograms of food to the Korea Animal Rights Advocates (KARA), another Korean animal welfare non-profit.
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).
