The Enneagram in Business’ Post

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.
