Jimin of BTS has poured his heart out to fans ahead of the release of the group’s fifth full-length album “ARIRANG.”
The K-pop superstar posted a photo taken in a practice studio on fan platform Weverse, saying “I’m shaking with excitement,” in a post March 15. “The release date for the album on March 20 is coming up real soon. I hope to make our fans happy with great performances and songs.”
Jimin’s dance knowhow: flexibility and balance are key
Jimin is widely considered as one of the most skilled dancers among BTS members. Having majored in contemporary dance at Busan Arts High School, he combines the smooth lines of modern dance with the powerful impact of hip-hop movements. His excellent flexibility and balance allow him to lead some of the group’s most technically demanding performances.
To maintain this ability, Jimin is known to consistently train his core muscles. Strengthening the abdominal and lower back muscles helps maintain balance during complex choreography. It also improves the precision of dance movements and helps prevent injuries.
He also maintains his stamina through aerobic exercises such as running. Cardio workouts increase cardiovascular endurance, reducing fatigue during long performances.
Focus on injury prevention
In a previous interview, Jimin said that he prioritizes health. He is also known to prevent injuries through stretching and rehabilitation exercises. Singers who perform complex choreography often suffer injuries to the ankles, knees and lower back. Stretching and flexibility training help relieve muscle tension and increase joint range of motion, lowering the risk of injury.
Jimin is also known to emphasize sufficient hydration. Drinking plenty of water helps regulate body temperature, improves circulation and supports skin health. Since performers sweat heavily during practice and concerts, it is important to drink water regularly to prevent dehydration.
