There’s no doubt that BTS’ Jimin is one of K-Pop’s stage kings, but what makes their performances so impressive? There are 5 reasons why she always takes his dancing to the next level, no matter his performance.
1. The way he fits his style into the concept
BTS is a group known for their numerous concept experiments. Of course, to make good use of a concept, you have to change your performance style to suit it, and that’s exactly what Jimin does every time.
For example, during “Spring Day” performances, Jimin keeps his dance fluid and graceful, yet cautious. This perfectly embodies the song’s nostalgia and heartache.
On the other hand, for a song like “Dionysus“, Jimin adopts a strong dance style. He uses sharpness and intense energy to convey the song’s frenetic party vibe to all listeners.
2. Covering the entire scene
From music shows to concerts, the K-Pop stages are really big, even for a large group. If an idol is overshadowed by a big stage, it can prevent their performance from looking impressive. Of course, this is not a problem for Jimin.
Fans often praise Jimin for how his moves take up the whole stage. He’s sure to stretch his arms and legs and magnify his movements to fill a stage, even if it’s just one person.
3. The body lines are very fluid when combined with the dance
A great artist like Jimin knows that dancing isn’t just about moving your limbs independently. He always makes sure his whole posture is attractive and creates gorgeous body lines on stage.
For example, even when the dance focuses on his legs, Jimin always makes sure his arms form a flowing silhouette as well. He even goes so far as to position his fingers to develop the full curve of his body.
4. The way he defies the laws of physics
What set Jimin apart from other dancers was that he included acrobatics in his performances. Many of his leaps are so impressive that they almost defy gravity…
Utilizing contemporary dance training that includes the basics of ballet, Jimin is able to plié deeply to perform incredibly high jumps.
On top of that, he can do somersaults, rolls and high moves that make him look like a gymnast as well as a dancer.
5. The distant glow of his makeup and clothes
Looks aren’t everything, but it definitely makes Jimin’s performance stand out even more. Since Jimin’s dance is often watched from afar, his gorgeous outfits and makeup help make him even more eye-catching.
Jimin is known for his intense eyeshadow look that usually goes well with his hair or outfit and grabs the viewers’ eyes.
Likewise, their outfits (along with the rest of BTS’ stage style) are never boring and always add an extra visual element to the performance.
