Jimin has established himself as one of the most vocally skilled artists in the music industry, never failing to stand out in any performance. With his sweet and enthralling ever-evolving vocals coupled with the unbelievably high vocal range, especially for a man, Jimin brings a much-needed flavor to BTS' songs. He can also switch up just as easily to become a fierce and powerful rapper, showcasing a whole new side of him. Simply put, Jimin will capture anyone's attention irrespective of the genre of the music he is performing, which has made him an undeniable 'stan attractor' in BTS as a group. The release of 'Bad Decisions' recently and 'PROOF' album just a while before that have both been chances for this fact to be proven true once more.

Columnist Isaac Choi, who contributed to the 275th issue of 'Big Issue Korea' that was published on May 16th, left a review for 'Bad Decisions' where he highly praised Jimin. He said that "Jimin's vocals are very impressive in 'Bad decisions,'" and that "He has a solid center and his unique personality is more organized and bursts at the right time."

"In a word, Jimin has a lot of cases where his attractive qualities can be seen , and i think that the reason why I want to see Jimin again is because of curiosity. The reason I am curious is because he always shows new sides of himself.”

He further adds that "Jimin, possesses various charms that always show a new side of him" and that he is curious about Jimin's next move.

It is evident that for the columnist, Jimin's singing stood out in 'Bad Decisions,' and it is exactly what fans felt when the song was released. He swept everyone off their feet with his new and refreshing vocal style and range, becoming the song's highlight despite having had the least lines among everyone on the track and leaving fans yearning for more.

Additionally, a different case that showcases Jimin's power and star quality was in an article published by Pop Matters, an international online magazine of cultural criticism that covers many aspects of popular culture. This magazine put together a list of 'The Best K-pop Albums of 2022 so far,' and BTS' 'PROOF' album was included on the list.

The article describes the album as an anthology album promoted in K-pop style with performances on K-pop TV shows and further singles out the 'For Youth' stages, saying that the song links the group to soul groups like 'Boyz II Men' as opposed to other typical K-pop boy bands. The author asserts that this is possibly intentional as the song's production and cadence are tailored to this music genre's style, adding that the choice could be a statement on the kind of musical legacy that BTS wants to leave, as the 'PROOF' album marked the end of the first chapter of their careers where they promoted as a group. By channeling boyband royalty and icons of music, BTS would be able to express that they, too, have become just that.

The article also mentions that BTS paid homage to themselves in this album by using featuring demos of their hit releases like 'I Need U' and 'DNA,' which sound absolutely different from the final versions of the songs. There are also self-references in 'RUN BTS,' the original song, whereas 'Born Singer,' a confessional song that had only been available on Soundcloud since 2013, finally got an official release through this album.

Finally, the article names the highlights of the 'PROOF' album as “Born Singer,” ” Run BTS,” “For Youth,” and “Tony Montana” (feat. Jimin).

Notably, two out of the four named highlights, 'RUN BTS' and 'Tony Montana' (feat Jimin), are both centered around Jimin. He vastly stood out and attracted lots of attention and received a ton of praise for his performance of the two songs. As such, it is not surprising that they both were chosen as highlights of the album. He was the star attraction in both songs and even went viral for his impeccable vocals, as well as caused a dance trend on TikTok solely centered on his part of the song.

To begin with, even before the release of the album, when the track list of the album was revealed, fans were sent into a frenzy on seeing that 'Tony Montana' (feat. Jimin) would be included in the album. The song had only been performed live by Suga and Jimin years ago but never had a studio version. Jimin took over worldwide trends in record time as fans could not contain their excitement at the news that they would get to hear Jimin rap again because they consider that one performance as one of his most iconic stages, and they have always wished to relive the moment.

When the album's teasers were revealed, Jimin's individual teaser got the fastest 1 million likes, and it was the highest trending teaser on YouTube, again showing how excited fans were about his performance in the upcoming album.

On the release of the album, K-media could not stop praising his performance and how much he had stood out and captivated fans with his mesmerizing vocals. He even went viral on Instagram and Tiktok for his enchanting vocals, especially in 'RUN BTS.' His part of the song also became the most replayed part, as seen on YouTube.

The climax of 'Run BTS,' which was Jimin's part, continued to go viral on various platforms and one Japanese choreographer even made a dance challenge on TikTok just for that part, a challenge that multitudes of people, including other K-pop idols, hopped onto immediately.

Moreover, on YouTube, that specific part also became the most replayed part of the song as fans simply couldn't get enough of his captivating vocals with the addictive melody.

It is for these reasons and more that Jimin is known as the 'stan attractor' of the group. His part in the group songs is always captivating listeners and going viral. He has no doubt been highly instrumental in the widespread support and success that the group has been able to achieve!
