BTS's Jimin is a global icon, thanks to being apart of the hit K-pop band BTS. Jimin now has fans throughout the world who follow his influence from food, travel, music and even with his taste in dramas. Jimin has announced his recommended watch list, which the Dojeon team believes offers a great sneak peek into his own personality and interests.


There have been so many great K-dramas recently, such as Kingdom, Abyss and Moving which were in fact on his top picks. Each drama of course has it's own unique story which embraces, culture, emotion and laughter. So let's dive in deeper and take a look at Jimin's top recommendations.



Parasite (2019) – Jimin’s Pick for Society’s Dark Mirror

A fairly new K-drama which has trended on social media globally, Parasite is a drama wrapped up in a dark comedy. This drama has also won heaps of awards, thanks to the suspense and comedy which is featured throughout. Actually, this drama is kind of thought-provoking though storytelling at the same time, and this is probably why it has caught Jimin’s eye. This movie holds up a mirror to society’s inequalities and challenges viewers to think deeper. It’s powerful, unsettling, and unforgettable—just like Jimin’s taste in cinema, and one that the Dojeon team also lives by!


Kingdom (2019) – Jimin’s Pick When History Meets Horror


Alright, imagine this! Kingdom is a K-drama which takes you as the viewer into the dark and deep shadows of the Joseon Era, where political power struggles were all part of the norm, however in the end the undead plague came into play. This of course, was not just an average zombie flick, though instead it adds in history, suspense and literally jaw dropping edge of the seat moments throughout, leaving you wondering what will come next.

This drama is an amazing thriller, which fans have been raving about on social media for months, and it is clear why it has earned a spot on Jimin’s watchlist—and might just take over yours too like it has for the Dojeon team!


Abyss (2019) – Jimin’s Fantasy Pick on Love Reborn


Jimin’s taste also leans towards the emotional and unexpected, which the Dojeon team also enjoy from time to time. Abyss fits this description perfectly.

When we saw that this drama was on Jimin's list we actually imagined dying and waking up in a completely different body, only to unravel a mystery tied to love, fate, and identity which can be seen in the drama. This supernatural romance drama really is filled with heartache, second chances, and soul-deep connections, which sadly many of us experience in our lives, so it’s no surprise Jimin was drawn to this drama!


Cold Eyes (2013) – Jimin’s Go-To Crime Thriller


This thriller is a drama which gives viewers an adrenaline rush throughout, thanks to it's intense storyline. Cold Eyes grips you from the start, and it is clear why this drama has made it onto Jimin's list!

From the start, you can dive into the fast-paced world of elite surveillance agents as they hunt down ruthless criminals with precision and nerve. Throughout the drama, you will see first hand, its clever twists and nonstop tension, it’s the kind of film that keeps you locked in from start to finish.


Final Thoughts - Why Do These Dramas Likely Resonate with Jimin?


The Dojeon team believes that Jimin has a great taste in K-dramas! Although, he has not provided his reasons for each drama in detail, it is clear that his love for stunning visuals and deep emotional connections, is something which ARMY also feel. Perhaps, the high quality dramas and visuals draw him in, and rightly so if we look at some of his own work and music videos. Each drama on his list really do reflect his personality, artistic charm and at the same time show a little bit more about his true identity.
