Kim Seokjin, widely known as Jin, is a cherished South Korean singer, songwriter, and a vital member of the globally acclaimed boy band BTS. Within BTS, Jin has contributed to the creation of three solo tracks: 'Awake' in 2016, 'Epiphany' in 2018, and 'Moon' in 2020, all of which have left their mark on South Korea's Gaon Digital Chart.

Apart from singing, Jin appeared as a host on multiple South Korean music programs from 2016 to 2018. In 2018, he was honoured with the fifth-class Hwagwan Order of Cultural Merit by the President of South Korea, alongside his bandmates, for their significant contributions to Korean culture. Since May 2018, Jin has been a monthly donor to UNICEF Korea, initially requesting that his donations remain private.
