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.

Ever wondered if someone’s your “frenemy”? Try approaching them at an angle so they can’t see you coming. Watch their expression when they first realise it’s you. People who don’t like you, will struggle to hide their initial micro expression of disdain, before they regulate to smiling. Watch out because your internal and external customers will notice your micro expressions too! #customerservice #customerexperience

"I can't draw." I hear that a lot from people. I used to hear that a lot from myself. For decades. I made a lot of art, but it was all abstract or stylised because I couldn't draw "real" things. It was true that I couldn't draw, but only because I hadn't learned how yet. Learning to draw is like learning to read - when you've learned the letters and the basics of grammar, you can read whatever you want. When you've learned the basic principles of drawing, you can draw whatever you like. Like learning to read, drawing is hard at the start. And it requires practice. But it is a skill that can be learned. I taught myself out of a book (it's called Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, by Betty Edwards, if you're curious - I highly recommend it). But, I became an art therapist before I knew how to draw. I think this worked in my favour, because I already knew I couldn't draw, so I wasn't hung up on trying to make things perfect. I was just delighting in making a mess. I find it hard to describe what art therapy is, because it's experiential. I usually fall back on "kind of like counselling, but with creative expression as well as talking (or instead of, sometimes)". And it is kind of like that. But it's also like play. What if you closed your eyes? What if you used your wrong hand? What if you cut a hole in it? What if it could talk to you? And it's also like finding a place beyond words, and expressing yourself from that place. If you had to draw sadness, what would it look like? If you're feeling something you have no words for, how might you express that? And it's also like resting, in a creative flow state. In a creative flow, there is no time. There's no 'next'. There's only now, and now, and now. Thought drops away, and given we spend so much time with our busy, thinking minds, this often feels like a relief. And it's also like being surprised - where did that come from? I have a new idea! I thought I was drawing a castle but actually it's a hug. I thought this drawing was about anxiety and insomnia and that's how it started, but now it's actually about wanting to buy a little boat and sail around a bunch of pretty islands and have adventures with a talking parrot who swears a lot. And it's also like a wonderful lesson in letting go of the destination and letting yourself become absorbed by the journey. This line. This colour. This feeling. And it's also like accessing a deep well of magic that's always there, but harder to touch in your ordinary waking state. Creative expression is closer to your subconscious mind, and there's so much gold in there to be found. And more. And you don't need to know how to draw. A nice place to start is the online therapeutic art group run by my good friend and art therapist colleague Rose and I - a friendly creative space where we do a different art process each time. We'd love to see you there if you felt like joining us. More info here: https://lnkd.in/gyAJgbsK

Creating Unconscious Rapport Unconscious rapport goes beyond words. It involves mirroring body language, matching vocal tones, and aligning with the other person's energy. These subtle cues create a sense of similarity and trust. For instance, if the person you're speaking to leans forward, you might do the same. If they speak softly, lower your voice. These adjustments happen below the level of conscious awareness but can significantly enhance the connection. Practising these techniques will make them second nature, allowing you to build rapport effortlessly. When you mirror someone's body language, you're subconsciously telling them that you are like them. This similarity breeds comfort and trust, making the other person feel more at ease. It's not about mimicking every move, but about adopting similar postures and gestures in a natural, subtle way. Matching vocal tones is another powerful tool. Pay attention to the pitch, pace, and volume of the other person's speech. If they speak slowly and softly, adjust your own speech to match. This alignment in vocal patterns can make the conversation flow more smoothly and create a harmonious interaction. Similarly, if they are enthusiastic and animated, increasing your own energy can help create a vibrant, engaging dialogue. Aligning with the other person's energy means being sensitive to their emotional state and responding appropriately. If they are calm and composed, maintain a similar demeanor. If they are excited or passionate, reflect that enthusiasm in your responses. This emotional mirroring helps establish a deeper connection and makes the other person feel understood and valued. To practice these techniques, start by observing people in social settings. Notice how individuals who are in sync tend to mirror each other's movements and speech patterns. Practice with friends or colleagues, paying close attention to their body language and vocal tones. Over time, these techniques will become intuitive, allowing you to create unconscious rapport effortlessly in any situation. Building unconscious rapport is not about manipulation; it's about creating genuine connections. This skill is invaluable in both personal and professional interactions, helping you to communicate more effectively and build stronger relationships. How can you apply the principles of unconscious rapport to enhance your interactions and build stronger connections in your daily life?

If you are not a good listener, you will find yourself unmotivated and ineffective in moving toward what matters most. It was my inability to listen that led me toward burnout and a lack of vitality. One value of a Men’s Circle is in hearing and being heard. In our day-to-day lives, it is not uncommon to be swept up and lost in a sea of thoughts and emotions that influence the way we show up in the world. Sometimes it is just a passing moment that triggers an internal crisis of anxiety or emotional overwhelm, and at other times, that moment may creep into days or weeks. In my own story, it was often the moment of rest in between my constant doing that would lead to an internal collapse. This small pause in my otherwise full agenda would often send me into a spiral of doubt, self-criticism and shame, pulling me into a dark lethargy, sometimes for days or longer. Rather than meeting the emotions that were calling for my attention, I would binge - alcohol, sugar, Netflix - whatever would distract me from my existential angst. Then come Monday morning, I would forcefully rip myself out of it and back into compulsive activity. Perhaps there are some of you who are familiar with this kind of experience? When I started to listen to my body and my emotions, I was able to engage with myself and the world in a way that was more true to me. In time, the holes became less dark and less deep. I have personally found that participation in a Circle offers a way to deal with such a situation. Taking the opportunity to listen to and articulate our inner experience can help to bring clarity and order to the chaotic. In taking a moment in our schedule to pause and put words to our feelings, we emphasise integration between the left and right sides of our brain - the left biassing toward linguistic processing and the right toward emotion and bodily experience. The result can be truly grounding and leaves us with a sense of coherence. We become better informed of where we have come from and to where we will go from here. We find a greater internal availability to pursue our goals. Additionally, a Circle is a space where we can uniquely hear the authentic words shared by another. In Circle, we have an opportunity to practice empathic listening and develop our capacity to witness and sit with the emotional expressions of another. Often what I hear brings about a resonance within me, inviting me to explore my own relationship to feelings, relationships or situations in my own life. The qualities we come to learn and embody in Circle are what I would consider to be essential for any meaningful relationship in our lives, both to ourselves and to others. I wonder, what emotions are you not listening to? What are they saying? And if you would like a space to bring about your own inner cohesion, join me next Monday morning for Men’s Embodiment Circle.

Communication comes in many forms. Some of them are: - Words - Facial expression - Body language - Pain in our bodies When we look at what we are saying to ourselves and others, it is SO freeing. It is so powerful when I help my clients understand what they are saying with their words and other means and where to shift it. We get to put several words and phrases in the vocabulary cupboard and look at other ways of self-soothing and healing. We work with Mindset Alchemy and acknowledge their inner desires and their dreams. Self-awareness is important to work on and leads to many areas of growth, and release brings joy, fulfilment and love in many different ways. What would it take for you to be more aware of what you are saying and the story you are telling yourself that keeps you stuck? Looking forward to hearing from you Love and Light Janine 💜 DM me if you'd like to know about ways of working with me #communication #energyhealing #wordshavepower #SpeakLife

This is interesting. Some protagonists aren't emotionally invested in what they do, depending on how cynical or dogmatic they are or simply because they are not that type of person. Emotional depth is one of the elements I focus on in my work, but I'm intrigued about the non-emotional protagonist. #storytelling #fantasyfiction #fictionwriting #writingcommunity #mythcreants #emotionalintelligence https://lnkd.in/gMhEqGRh

"Is it possible, in the final analysis, for one human being to achieve perfect understanding of another?" Ladies and gentlemen, strap in for a journey through the wild rollercoaster of human understanding. So, Haruki Murakami got us all scratching our heads about the ultimate quest for understanding others. It's like trying to find Wi-Fi in the middle of the Sahara – good luck with that! But hey, let's break down this deep dive into the complexities of human connection with a dash of comedy. 1. The Cautious Optimism in Our Efforts. You know, Murakami's making us invest time and energy into understanding people, like we're all relationship stockbrokers. "Buy low, sell high" takes on a whole new meaning when it's about your friend's emotional stocks. We're all out here, committed to the pursuit of understanding, like we're training for the Emotional Olympics. Picture me with a gold medal in empathy, doing the perfect understanding gymnastics routine – stick the landing, folks! 2. The Emotional Complexity of Knowing. Now, the emotional rollercoaster of understanding others – it's like trying to ride a unicycle on a tightrope. Murakami's got us questioning our emotional connections, and it's like he's the relationship therapist we never knew we needed. "How deep is your love?" Bee Gees asked. Well, Murakami is here asking, "How deep is your understanding?" Spoiler alert: It's deeper than that pit you fell into when you tried to figure out your ex's cryptic text messages. 3. The Rational Examination of Knowledge Alright, let's get logical for a moment. Murakami's making us scrutinize the foundation of our understanding – it's like relationships are built on the shaky ground of a Jenga tower. One wrong move, and suddenly you're wondering if you ever really knew that person who never shares their fries. Are we really Sherlock Holmes of the heart, or just stumbling through a romantic game of Clue? In the grand tapestry of human connections, we're all like detectives at a crime scene trying to solve the case of perfect understanding. Spoiler alert number two: The butler did it, and the butler is human complexity. We're entangled in this delicate dance of trying to know and not knowing at all. So, in conclusion, let's not be sad about not achieving the impossible – perfect understanding. Instead, let's embrace the mystery like it's a surprise birthday party we didn't see coming. The real challenge isn't being the Sherlock Holmes of relationships; it's in authentically connecting with those around us. It's not about unlocking all the secrets; it's about enjoying the crazy, unpredictable ride of human connection. And as you ponder the profound question of whether one human being can truly understand another, remember, folks, life is a comedy, not a tragedy. So, let's laugh, connect authentically, and maybe, just maybe, share our fries without overthinking it. #UnderstandingYouUnderstandingMe #MysteryOfConnection #ComedyOfErrors #AuthenticlyConnect
