\n\t\t<\/span>sk all of BTS<\/a> which member can hit the highest notes, and they\u2019ll point to one man: Park Jimin<\/a>. \u201cJimin\u2019s range is vastly superior,\u201d says V. But Jimin himself isn\u2019t yet satisfied with his voice, or any other aspect of his artistry. He was the final member to join BTS, with a background in modern dance, not singing: \u201cI feel that I wasn\u2019t fully ready and confident when we debuted,\u201d he told Rolling Stone<\/em><\/a> <\/em>in 2021. Despite a long list of indelible studio moments with his band and in his history-making solo work \u2014 his 2023 single \u201cLike Crazy<\/a>\u201d made him the first Korean solo artist to top the Hot 100 \u2014 he still acts like he somehow needs to catch up. \u201cI\u2019m not sure if I\u2019d call myself a perfectionist,\u201d says Jimin, in a February interview conducted in Hybe\u2019s Seoul, South Korea headquarters.. \u201cEveryone has the desire to do well, and I have that as well. So, to let go of that desire feels to me like wanting to quit altogether. So I don\u2019t know if I\u2019ll be able to let go.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHow are you feeling right now, a month before Arirang<\/a><\/em> comes out?<\/strong>
Very nervous. I\u2019m super nervous. We\u2019re getting close to release, and it\u2019s been so long. The whole time, I\u2019ve been feeling excited, but also scared. I really want to do a good job.<\/p>\n

\n\tYou turned out to be a big solo hitmaker. I don\u2019t know if you expected your solo career to become so big, and so quickly.<\/strong>
Oh, I didn\u2019t expect it at all. I\u2019m truly so thankful for the response. But through that process, I learned that I still have a long way to go, and I plan to continue working hard to improve in the future.<\/p>\n

\n\tOK, I\u2019ll bite on that. What do you want to improve, when you\u2019ve already had these big singles right out of the box?<\/strong>
First off, I want to improve my singing \u2026 I\u2019d like to learn, practice more, and grow from there. Beyond that, I also want to write better. I want to make good albums with a good concept. And I think that\u2019s it. My job is to write good songs and sing them well, after all.<\/p>\n

\n\tDo you think you\u2019re too hard on yourself, though?<\/strong>
Not really. Now, I\u2019m just having a great time with life. It\u2019s a joy to practice with the BTS members. We\u2019re having so much fun in rehearsal. I can\u2019t wait to get on that stage.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the military, you won all sorts of awards. Why do you think you were such a good military member?<\/strong>
I don\u2019t know how you heard about the awards and stuff, but in the beginning, well, everyone in the military knows that we\u2019re celebrities, right? So, I worked hard so that I could make a good impression. But later on, I just worked hard to get more vacation days.<\/p>\n
