⏮ Before Debut

Kim Seokjin was a student at Konkuk University studying film acting when he was scouted by a BigHit staff member on the street in 2011. He had no prior singing or dancing training, making him the member who trained the hardest to catch up. He was accepted into Konkuk University — one of Korea's top universities — on his own merit before being discovered.
