Biography

Jimin’s net worth is $20 million, accumulated through his membership in BTS — the most commercially successful K-pop group in history — and a growing solo music career that has produced multiple Billboard chart records. Born Park Ji-min on October 13, 1995, in Busan, South Korea, Jimin is a singer, songwriter, and dancer who debuted with BTS in 2013. His 2023 solo album Face made him the first Korean solo artist to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100, and his 2024 album Muse debuted atop the Billboard Global 200. He completed mandatory South Korean military service from December 2023 to June 2025.

Updated March 2026: According to Billboard, Jimin was discharged from the South Korean military on June 11, 2025, alongside BTS member Jungkook, marking the beginning of BTS’s full group reunion as all seven members have now completed mandatory service. Jimin’s net worth is estimated at $20 million, with ongoing income from streaming, Dior ambassador fees, and the anticipated BTS group comeback.

Early Life and Education

Park Ji-min was born on October 13, 1995, in the Geumjeong-gu district of Busan, South Korea. He grew up in Busan with his parents and a younger brother. He attended Busan High School of Arts (부산예술고등학교), where he studied contemporary dance, excelling particularly in popping and locking. His dance performance scores ranked first in his graduating class. He was recruited by Big Hit Entertainment (now HYBE Corporation) as a trainee based on a chance audition at a JYPE audition notice, after which he moved to Seoul to undergo intensive training in dance, vocals, and performance.

During his trainee period at Big Hit, Jimin also pursued studies in practical dance at Seoul’s School of Performing Arts. He officially debuted as a member of BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan / Bulletproof Boy Scouts) on June 13, 2013, at age 17. BTS was formed under Big Hit Entertainment, with Jimin serving primarily as the group’s main dancer, vocalist, and visual center.

Music Career

As a member of BTS, Jimin has been part of one of the most commercially successful acts in music history. BTS’s discography includes global hit albums Map of the Soul: Persona (2019), BE (2020), and Proof (2022), and hit singles including “Dynamite” (2020), “Butter” (2021), and “Permission to Dance” (2021), all of which reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Within BTS, Jimin released three solo tracks — “Lie” (2016), “Serendipity” (2017), and “Filter” (2020) — each of which charted on South Korea’s Gaon Digital Chart.

Jimin launched his solo career with the digital single “Promise” in December 2018. His debut solo album, Face, was released on March 24, 2023, while other BTS members were beginning their mandatory military service. Per Billboard, Face debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 with 164,000 equivalent album units — the highest debut by a South Korean solo artist in Billboard chart history at the time. Its lead single, “Like Crazy,” debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, making Jimin the first Korean solo artist to reach the top of the chart in the chart’s 65-year history. The album sold over 1.45 million copies in its first week, breaking the Hanteo Chart record for first-week sales by a solo artist.

His second solo album, Muse, was released on July 19, 2024, while he was completing military service, through Big Hit Music. Its lead single, “Who,” debuted at number one on the Billboard Global 200 — another first for a Korean solo artist — and has accumulated over 1.9 billion Spotify streams per ChartMasters. Muse surpassed 3.1 billion total streams on Spotify by July 2025. In November 2025, Forbes reported that a vinyl release of Muse caused album sales to surge more than 5,200%, briefly pushing it to number two on the US album sales chart.

Jimin enlisted in the South Korean military on December 12, 2023, alongside fellow BTS member Jungkook. He completed his mandatory 18-month service and was discharged on June 11, 2025. Following his discharge, BTS began preparations for their full group reunion, with all seven members having completed military service by the end of 2025.

How Jimin Built His $20 Million Fortune

  • BTS group earnings: BTS’s collective commercial success — including record-breaking album sales, world tours (the Map of the Soul World Tour was estimated at over $500 million in gross before COVID cancellations), and merchandise — has generated substantial shared income for all members under HYBE Corporation. The group’s licensing and promotional revenues are distributed among members.
  • Solo album sales and streaming: Face (2023) sold over 1.45 million copies in its first week and has accumulated over 2.6 billion streams on Spotify. Muse (2024) surpassed 3.1 billion Spotify streams through July 2025. Per ChartMasters, Jimin’s total lead artist streams exceed 7.2 billion on Spotify alone as of mid-2025.
  • Dior Global Ambassador: Jimin was announced as a Dior Global Ambassador on January 17, 2023. He has attended Dior Paris Fashion Week shows including the Spring-Summer 2026 collection presentation on October 1, 2025, per US BTS Army. Global fashion house ambassador deals at Jimin’s profile level typically generate $5–10 million annually.
  • HYBE Corporation equity: As a founding member of BTS and under HYBE Corporation’s structure, all BTS members hold equity stakes in the company. HYBE (formerly Big Hit Entertainment) is publicly traded on the Korea Stock Exchange. The members’ equity positions contributed significantly to net worth when the company went public in 2020.
  • Merchandise and content: Jimin and BTS maintain one of the most active fandom merchandise ecosystems in the world (ARMY fan clubs), with official merchandise sold through Weverse, Big Hit’s fan platform. His solo content on Weverse and subscription revenue also contributes to income.

Personal Life

Jimin is known for keeping his personal relationships private. As of 2026, no confirmed romantic partner is publicly known. He grew up in Busan with a close relationship with his younger brother, Park Ji-hoon, who has also pursued a career in the Korean entertainment industry. Jimin has spoken publicly about the psychological pressures of being a globally recognized artist and has been open about periods of self-doubt and the importance of mental health awareness. He received a Member of the National Order of Cultural Merit from the South Korean government alongside the other BTS members in 2021, recognizing their cultural and diplomatic impact as ambassadors for Korean culture globally.

After completing military service in June 2025, Jimin continued his role as Dior Global Ambassador, attending Paris Fashion Week in October 2025. BTS’s full group reunion — the first time all seven members are simultaneously available since their staggered military enlistments began in December 2022 — is anticipated to yield a major group album and world tour, which industry analysts project will substantially increase all members’ net worth figures.
