For years, Jimin‘s name has become synonymous with dance in the K-pop industry, thanks to his beautiful dance lines and signature powerful yet delicate and graceful moves that make him unique and mesmerizing to watch on stage. His captivating style was prompted by his diverse dance training background in different genres, including modern, contemporary, and hip-hop, to name a few, which has enabled him to fuse elements of the different dance styles into his moves to make them even more colorful and unique only to him.
This is why the media, as well as dance professionals, constantly praise his dance skills and say, ‘his kind of dance cannot be taught or learned‘ and that ‘his dance is his own genre,’ to show how much they revere his skill and talent. Similarly, fellow idols in the industry constantly show their admiration for his dance. Senior idols praise him every time they talk about him, and rookie idols look up to him as their role model in performing. Many who debut as main dancers of their respective groups usually cover his 2016 performance of his classic song ‘Lie’ among other solo stages of his, as a way to prove their capability as dancers, which has, in turn, earned him the titles of ‘rookies’ bible’ and ‘idol of idols.’ The industry perceives him as the standard when it comes to giving a performance that will wow the audience, because he never fails to deliver, and his performances remain to be hot topics long after they end.
Even fans agree that he is the king of the stage, hence why Jimin always emerges the winner in any kind of survey or poll about dance. He has been voted as the best dancer in K-pop consistently for years in polls such as King Choice poll for Male K-pop Idol Dancer for 3 consecutive years now, and as Best Male Idol Dancer in K-pop for 2 consecutive years on Japan’s Netlab survey, to mention a few instances. He has also won the Best K-pop Dancer on Dabeme for 4 consecutive years already, and he just extended his reign to a fifth year following the most recent poll that ended a few days ago and results announced on May 24. It is evident that even the audience who watch him on stage agree that there is no one above him when it comes to dance matters.
Here are previous reports of his many wins in the world of dance and his massive influence on younger idols in the industry!
Congratulations, Jimin!
