Argument

Jimin is the best dancer in BTS

As BTS' main dancer, Jimin is immensely talented. Jimin's movements on stage are so powerful that they tell a story all on their own. Jimin is the best BTS member because of his extraordinary talent at choreography and dance.

The argument

The first piece of evidence is the group's own assessment. BTS assigns roles internally, and Jimin was chosen as one of the group's main dancers — a designation made by the people who train and perform alongside him daily and who see what each member can do. Selection for that position is not a matter of public popularity; it is a judgment about ability made by those best placed to make it, and it carries more weight than any outside opinion could. The second is his background. Jimin is one of the only BTS dancers with formal training. He studied modern dance in high school and came first in his class, which means he arrived with a technical foundation built through structured instruction and measured against other dancers doing the same work. Coming first in that setting is a comparative result rather than a description, and it is the kind of grounding that shows in the precision and control of what he performs years later. The two points reinforce each other. Formal training explains the capability, and the main-dancer role confirms that the capability is recognised where it matters most. A member who had the training but not the standing within the group, or the standing but no technical grounding, would have a weaker case; Jimin has both, which is why proponents describe his talent as extraordinary rather than merely strong. From there the conclusion follows on the terms the position sets. Dance is central to what BTS does, so excellence in it is not a side skill but a contribution to the thing the group is built around. If Jimin is the best dancer in BTS — and the group's own allocation of roles together with his training indicates that he is — then on that measure he is the best member.

Premises

[P1]Jimin is a gifted dancer, chosen as one of the group's main dancers. [P2] He is one of the only BTS members with formal training, having studied modern dance and come first in his high school class. [C] Therefore, because Jimin is the best dancer in BTS, he is the best BTS member.

Counter-arguments

Dancing talent is not the only factor that determines whether an idol is the best member of a K-Pop group. In addition, Jimin is also not the only BTS member known for his dance skills, and he has never won an award for his dancing, unlike J-Hope. It is debatable that Jimin is the best dancer, which then makes it doubtful that he is the best member of the group.

Rejecting the premises

[Rejecting P1] Being assigned a role within a group reflects a production decision about how to distribute parts, which is not an independent verdict on ability. [Rejecting P2] Formal training is a fact about preparation rather than about result, and the premise leaves the conclusion unsupported twice over: other members are also known for their dancing and one of them has been recognised with awards, and even the group's best dancer need not be its best member, since the question turns on more than one skill.
