The Enneagram in Business

BTS ENNEAGRAM TYPES: PART 11 | JIN (KIM SEOKJIN OR KIM SEOK-JIN) TYPE 9 Part 11 of this BTS series explores the Enneagram type of Jin, whose main roles in BTS are as a vocalist and a visual. The role of visual refers to someone who is, by South Korean standards, considered to be highly attractive and, thus, adds to the visual experience of the group when they are performing live or in videos. As the oldest BTS member, he was already an accomplished actor and was enrolled in the highly-regarded Konkuk University in the Department of Film and Visual Arts when he joined the group. KIM SEOKJIN (JIN) ENNEAGRAM NINE| THE “PEACEFUL” PERSON Although this typing is still speculative, type Nine seems like a near match from everything I could learn about Seokjin. Online, those who also commented on his Enneagram type also noted type Nine as the most likely fit. Nines seek peace, harmony, and positive mutual regard and dislike conflict, tension, demands, and ill will. So strong is their aversion to tension and conflict, they sense it immediately, then try to rectify the situation in a variety of ways. These methods include listening to others, affirming them, and making the person feel heard; through diplomacy by trying to promote mutual understanding and tolerance of different perspectives; and through relaxing conversations and enjoyable joke sharing or storytelling. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF SEOKJIN While RM (Kim Namjoon) is often referred to as functioning as the “father” of BTS, Kim Seokjin is called the “mom” of the group because he provides nurturance, guidance, and support for all of them, and especially the younger members, V, Jimin and Jung Kook. He’s been described as “keeping the group under control but not through hierarchy, which he could do because he is the oldest member." Instead, he does this is a more typical type Nine way: “He is like a mother hen who is always taking care that order is preserved. Even, I've also seen videos where the members look at him as if asking permission to do some things, and he discreetly gives them his approval; he's very nice to watch.” Even more, the way Seokjin does this is also classic Nine: a focus on the group or team, then on the individuals within it. It’s said that he “Keeps the group together like glue.” But what is the glue he uses? Seokjin, as is common in Nines, does a number of things that generate goodwill and group harmony plus create a light-hearted, accepting, and inclusive atmosphere. The most obvious is his warm, approachable, and optimistic style. He has developed loving relationships with each individual BTS member and the group as a whole.

Part 10 of the series explores the Enneagram type of J-Hope, BTS’s main dancer, rapper, sub vocalist who is also songwriter, record producer and a member of the prestigious Korea Music Copyright Association. He began as a well-known street dancer prior to joining BTS, then became highly skilled as a vocalist, a rap artist and so forth. JUNG HOSEOK (J-HOPE AKA HOBI) ENNEAGRAM SEVEN | THE “JOYFUL” PERSON Although this is still speculative, I think Hoseok is an Enneagram Seven. Online, people who wrote about his type came to the same conclusion. Why does Enneagram Seven seem like a good match for him? Enneagram Sevens have a thirst for stimulation, from new ideas, new people, and new experiences. They also engage in positive possibility planning, wanting to keep all of their options open. They are imaginative, enthusiastic, quick-thinking, and often charming and engaging. They can also be highly spontaneous, even impulsive at times, and also rebellious if they feel their freedom is being limited. In addition, Sevens are pain-avoidant. Pain avoidance isn’t just about physical pain; it is also about emotions with which they are uncomfortable, and this includes feeling sad or sorrowful but also fear and anger. Sevens avoid pain and discomfort in multiple ways. They engage in positive thinking and positive experiences whenever possible. This sets in motion a dopamine somatic response, dopamine being a pleasure, satisfaction and motivational hormone and neurotransmitter. If stimulation by something new and exciting doesn’t work, Sevens also use reframing. Reframing means making something negative into a positive. Sevens are sometimes called the Peter Pans of the Enneagram because they are extremely optimistic, thinking that just about anything is possible. They are also upbeat and fun-loving. Many Sevens look younger than they actually are, so strong is their positive outlook, as if the harsher realities of adulthood have not yet sunk in. Sevens also feel responsible for bringing hope, joy and enthusiasm to those they encounter. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF HOSEOK Hoseok is most often described as highly energetic, joyful and smiling, as well as being a talented dancer; his dancing background was initially in street and freestyle dancing as well as beatboxing. He also has the moniker of “sunshine” due to his upbeat interpersonal style. Those who know him personally describe him as a really, really nice person who continuously supports and encourages other BTS members in every way he can. For example, Hoseok gives BTS members big hugs when they need it and offers encouraging words when they get disheartened. He is also very playful, especially, but not only, with the younger BTS members Jimin, V and Jung Kook.

BTS ENNEAGRAM TYPES: PART 9 | JUNG KOOK (JEON JUNGKOOK) TYPE 6 Part 9 focuses on BTS member Jung Kook. He is their main vocalist, sub-rapper, lead dancer, and their center. Center is a position where they appear in the front middle during performances and is considered the highest performance position. The person is chosen as center because they are either the main singer, the main dancer, the most popular member and/or have “stage presence.” He joined BTS as its youngest member at the age of 13 (US age; 15 Korean age). He also writes and produces music and earned full membership with the Korea Music Copyright Association (2024). In searching online for what others thought about Jung Kook’s Enneagram type, I was intrigued at the variety of answers people gave and baffled by the reasons people gave for their ideas. Some thought him an Enneagram Seven based on the idea that Jung Kook has a variety of interests. Being interested in many things does not make a person a Seven, plus once he’s interested in something, Jung Kook pursues this area to high levels of proficiency. Sevens, by contrast, get interested or stimulated by something, but drop pursuing it because they get bored easily or feel under-stimulated. The exception is when Sevens are deeply passionate about something. There were some online who thought Jung Kook was an Eight, but why? The reason was that Jung Kook is intense or because the person writing the comment perceived Jung Kook as a leader. However, being intense does not necessarily mean a person is an Eight. Two other Enneagram types, Fours and Sixes, are also intense relative to other people. Being a leader does also not make a person an Eight, because all Enneagram types can lead, just in nine different ways. Jung Kook does have some lead roles in BTS, but he is not, nor does he perceive himself, as a leader in BTS. Some people thought he was a Four because he’s intense, creative and artistic. However, creativity or being artistic does not align with a particular type. I know more about Jung Kook than any of the other BTS members, although I do not know him personally. It is because of him that I got so interested in BTS, their music, and their global impact. Last November, I saw a post on my Facebook feed about Jimmy Fallon, with a video. I do not watch late-night talk show hosts, Fallon being one of them. Why I clicked on this link I have no idea, but I did and Jung Kook was his special guest. I had no idea who he was although I had vaguely heard of BTS.
