BTS' Jimin is loved globally for his voice and dance moves. As he clocks his 28th birthday, we bring you an interview where he spoke about his dance moves.

BTS member Jimin once revealed why he almost didn’t debut with the K-pop group in 2013. In October 2017, on JTBC’s Please Take Care Of My Refrigerator, Jimin shared that the reason was the form of dance. Jimin, whose real name is Park Jimin, turned 28 on Friday. He was born in Busan and later shifted to Seoul to make his debut with BTS.

BTS' Jimin once said he didn't dance well enough.

Jimin on not debuting with BTS

As quoted by Soompi, Jimin had spoken about the time just ahead of his debut and after. He had said, “I was not famous at all. Even after I was chosen as a trainee, I was not good at dancing. I was in danger of not debuting because I didn’t dance well enough. My major was modern dance. Because idol choreography is so different from what I was used to, I found it difficult.”

Jin had warned Jimin

Jin, who also appeared on the show, commented that Jimin 'is someone who has been humble since birth'. In the episode, as seen in a video shared by a fan account on YouTube, Jin was asked about his reaction when he first saw Jimin dance. Jimin quickly added, "He said I might get kicked out." Jin laughed and added, "I didn't, I didn't. I'll get in trouble if this airs since Jimin has lots of fans."
