BTS' Jimin is known for his unique and emotional voice that has the ability to captivate listeners. His voice is so endearing that it has been dubbed a national treasure in a tweet by Japanese singer-songwriter Murata Tomoya.

BTS members are as talented as individuals as they are as a group. Each member has a unique set of skills and charms to make it big as a soloist. The ultimate goal of most groups is to gain enough popularity to launch a solo career, but BTS is unique in that the group's sole focus is music. As a result, they continue to release solo material while still being members of the band.

Jimin's solo songs showcase the full range of his vocal abilities, allowing listeners to appreciate what a powerful performer he is. Jimin has managed to become one of the best vocalists in the K-pop industry today despite only receiving vocal training after joining the group.

Let's take a look at some of BTS's Jimin's solo songs to get a taste of his personality.
