On June 13, 2013, Kim made his debut as one of the four vocalists in BTS with their debut single album 2 Cool 4 Skool. Kim released his first co-produced track, a solo single from the album Wings titled "Awake", in 2016.

Jin emerged on the scene after winning consecutive emcee battles on 106 & Park's "Freestyle Friday", and after winning 7 weeks of battles; Ruff Ryders came to him and offered him a contract. He accepted and was then part of the Ruff Ryder family and his first album on the Ruff Ryder label. "The Rest is History" (2004) was Jin's rookie album and he released two singles "Learn Chinese" which was produced by Wyclef and "Senorita".
On May 18, 2005 Jin released a song named "I Quit". The song was widely misunderstood because of its name. People thought that Jin had quit the rap game but he hasn't, as he stated that he went off to explore other things.
Jin dropped his sophmore album "Jin Presents: The Emcee's Propaganda" on October 25, 2005, the album sold over 7,000 copies in its first week. The single off his second album was "Top 5" where he talked about who would be the top 5 greatest hip hop artists of all time. He also shot a video for "Top 5".
Jin now goes by the name "The Emcee" and has dropped a new single called "FYI" featuring a fellow Asian rapper Yung Mac. In 2006 Jin will release 2 albums, one of which will be called "100 Grand Jin" with "FYI" as its single which he also shot a video for. Jin is also working on a project where he is planning on releasing a Cantonese album called "ABC Jin", where ABC stands for American Born Chinese. The album will be released internationally and "ABC Jin" will be rapped in all Cantonese.
Jin's style of rapping consists of strong punchlines, and used this skill in the battles he won. His punchlines hardly ever uses metaphors that require much thought to decipher, and his bars are clean cut and powerful when used in battles. Such battles against Verse, Shells, RK, and his 106 & Park battles are great examples of his style of rapping and battling.

Perfect Strangers
Jin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Listen, I know we strangers and all
I mean, I see you all the time
But I never say a thing to you
Uhh, let's go
Gotta get the nerve to talk to you
Show you everything that we can do
Promise I won't let you down
(Verse 1:)
I seen you store, seen you at the flicks
Seen you at the mall, shopping some kicks
I even know you rock a size 5 in ladies
But I don't know your first name, that's crazy
And this the part that I find whack
We never even made eye contact
So next time I'mma make sure when we cross paths
I'mma look you in the eyes and hope you look back
Go in my book bag, pull out my notepad, jot down my digits and tell you to hold that
But that's just me talking fly
I probably end up watching you walk on by
(Chorus: Bryan Ellis)
I see you everyday and I know every single way you move
Perfect strangers through and through
Gotta get the nerve to talk to you
Show you everything that we can do
All I really need is one more chance
Promise I won't let you down
(Verse 2:)
Day after day, same bus stop, you could find me in my spot
2:55 on the dot, she shows up at 3 O' clock
5 minutes you're on, so you know I
Can't wait to stand next to her, side by side
It's not like I say hi, I'm on some dumb shit
You know, standin there, playin with my thumb shit
I want to just say, how you doin miss
But my brain's like, know how I'm aimless
That don't make sense, I'mma keep it real
That's just how it is when you're head over heels
(Chorus: Bryan Ellis)
I see you everyday and I know every single way you move
Perfect strangers through and through
Gotta get the nerve to talk to you
Show you everything that we can do
All I really need is one more chance
Promise I won't let you down
(Verse 3:)
I feel like I've known you for forever and a day
Before you do, I know what you're gonna say
You're favorite color's green, the heat's you're favorite scene
You love milkshakes but you hate ice cream
Which are you, a gemini or a cancer
With that body you're probably an exotic dancer
I'm just playing, for all I know
You're a college student, GPA 4.0
So, I'mma come back to the real world
Don't tell myself that you're not even a real girl
Just a figment of my imagination
If yous was real, we'd be having conversations
(Chorus: Bryan Ellis)
I see you everyday and I know every single way you move
Perfect strangers through and through
Gotta get the nerve to talk to you
Show you everything that we can do
All I really need is one more chance
Promise I won't let you down
Jin's song "Perfect Strangers" delves into the idea of the desire for a romantic connection with someone you constantly see but have never really spoken to. The lyrics in the song focus on the internal dialogue of the singer as he constantly struggles to find the courage to break the ice and talk to the girl he has been observing. The song is a commentary on the difficulty of creating relationships and the fears that come with the possibility of rejection.
The song has a general narrative in its verses but it is the chorus that highlights the general theme. By repeating the phrase "Perfect strangers through and through," the song underscores how both the singer and the girl who is the subject of the song are just strangers who have never really interacted with each other. The song also suggests that if they were to take a chance and talk to each other, they might be surprised at what they would find out about each other.
