From iconic Versace pattern to Rolling Stones' "tongue and lip", Jimin was definitely living the hard hip-hop look from head to toe. Shush, we ain't judging here. ๐Ÿคซ

It wasn't long before he ran out of space to accommodate his growing passion for ear accessories and went for an upper lobe on both sides for a bolder statement. Total count: 4.

From fancy to classic, hugging hoops all the way: enamel, stainless steel, ornate. We're cool, game on.

Jimin played mix & match but nothing head-turning. He kept his combos very tame despite the upper lobes being healed. The typical hugging hoop x barbell unarguably remained his go-to favorite. ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป

"Nothing head-turning"? Hello, first helix attempt. Located high up the left cartilage but sadly short-lived. Although I'm not sure he disclaimed it at that time, we now know he couldn't keep it for long due to healing issues.

There wasn't much evolution from 2014 to 2015 but he noticeably experimented with one-sided double combinations such as double hoops on one ear, double barbells on the other and of course...

Despite a first failed helix attempt (scar in 1st picture), a second and longer try was made in the rim from "I Need U" to "Run" era. He declared losing it during the pillow fight scene from "Run" MV but we all know that was a lie. ๐Ÿ˜ž

Buckle up! ๐Ÿ”ฅ We're shortly going back to minimalism before hitting hard, starting from trading the hugging hoops for bigger classic hoops or barbells and ditching the upper lobes. ๐Ÿ’จ

No can do, Jimin WANTS his helix. April 9th, 2016. No one picks it up because the selca angle is shady. He did it again, there, left ear, slightly lower in the rim than the second attempt and it's here to stay (or so we thought).

A tribute to 2014, perhaps. We're bringing back the upper lobes combined with the helix and hoops. Is it me or it's getting hotter in here? ๐Ÿฅต

"Blood, Sweat & Tears" era. This is it. The ultimate statement. The triple cross x helix look. Show stopping, life changing, never done before. A royalty. A prince. He knows, we know, the world knows. I flatlined.

Before diving into dangling earrings, Jimin made a short detour to simple hoops during YNWA, wearing a matching ring in his helix for the first time. Sadly, he ended up removing it after coming back from Hawaii, never to wear it again. ๐Ÿ’”

April 21st 2017: the Baby Fat earrings return sans helix (RIP). He wears them for 2 weeks across WINGS Southeast Asia tour & the SP shooting before switching for the Cross Tail Drop model he'd then wear all summer long.

"DNA" gave birth to the beginning of a durable trend. We're โœˆ๏ธ DIY. Long chains on hoops with an asymmetric accent. The combinations seem infinite, it's playful and eye-catching. He loves it.

I'm not counting the number of variations he's done on this style of earrings. Sometimes wearing a hoop as a base, sometimes wearing a ball then linking other seamless rings and bars together, sometimes I can't figure it out.

End of January/beginning of February 2018, Jimin revives the Cross Tail Drop as well as a stud model (rare appearance) in between the dangling variations.

"Euphoria" shooting brought Jimin back to basics. That's pretty much what I call Jimin's default earrings look by now, except his silver hoops size can vary but he definitely likes them on the bigger side. He wants them to be visible.

During "Fake Love" promotion, we had the chance to witness some helix action back again and I'm grateful even if that, was fake too. ๐Ÿคฃ

Oof, sexy. They made their first appearance during Summer Package in Saipan shooting. He'd later wear them again for "IDOL" MV shooting and promotion. Unlike others, it's a symmetric pair.

Nothing much to say except he probably ENJOYED wearing these because look how GAUDY they are. Jimin can pull off about anything. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ These were exclusive to the "Answer" concept shooting and he was never seen wearing them for public events.

Frica made custom dangling models for the "LOVE YOURSELF" tour. Bulkier from the variations Jimin wore throughout the year, the components include spike, cross and peace charms.

November 2018. Jimin displays a twist to a classic that's currently ongoing as I write these lines: threading two (2) hoops in one (1) hole.

Still November 2018. Jimin paid a visit to a tattoo & piercing shop and had both his upper lobes repierced. However, he got a higher upper left lobe done but was barely seen wearing it, leaving a visible scab at MGA (11/6).

We're only half into the year but Jimin's affection for dangling earrings is still going strong, coming up with new combinations of charms every now and then.

He started wearing them in May on the red carpet for the BBMAs making use of his 3 current piercings (at first). The bigger hoops have 2 rows of CZ (dia?) inside-out, the smaller is simple. He'll wear these during the whole SY tour. So chic!

Starting mid-August, Jimin sized up his default hoops to a much bigger diameter albeit thinner gauge... something like รธ30 mm? He was seen playfully threading 2 different sizes during SY in Saudi Arabia. Boi does he love making statements!

They have this habit to usually flip their selca so I got fooled it was his right ear piercing. But it wasn't. October 18th; the higher upper left lobe piercing is Back after almost a full year.

As Jimin pointed out his upper lobe piercings are now symmetric, the right chart has been corrected for more accuracy. He did used to have a lower upper lobe in 2013 so I left it as "former".

Oct 23rd. We didn't see that one coming: the Chrome Hearts Baby Fat cross earrings making their grand return after nearly 4 frigging years. And the dark grey hair too. What is going on. God Jimin is going on.

December. Wrapping up 2019 with fashion earrings in gold-tone color: a dangling black pave north star with a long back thread. Delicate and eye-catching, Jimin rocks the pair like second skin.

Ain't no Park Jimin if we ain't shaking the world everytime we switchin' gear eh. Hitting the Grammy red carpet with stick drop earrings, check. Nailing ON MV with dazzling bamboo hoops, check. Jimin didn't come in 2020 to play.
