Seungmin's real name is Kim Seungmin, born on September 22, 2000 in Seoul, South Korea. Currently, he is a member of the boy band Stray Kids under JYP Entertainment. Seungmin takes on the position of Vocalist with a powerful voice.

Although he is quite secretive about his personal relationships, there are many sources that Seungmin's grandfather is the vice president of the baseball club, and his parents are prosecutors. They used to live in a luxury apartment located in the middle of the capital of Kimchi. It is known that Seungmin is a prominent student at Cheongdam School. He often participates in sports activities and once dreamed of becoming a baseball player. For a while, the male singer and his family moved to Los Angeles and returned to Korea not long after.

Later, Seungmin changed his mind and wanted to become an idol because of his desire to stand on stage and show his singing ability. He used to practice in a music academy before participating in the audition. Kim Seungmin used to be a fan of many talented artists such as Sandeul (B1A4), Kim Dong-ryul and the senior group DAY6 under JYP Entertainment. They are also role models that help him increase his desire to become an idol.

At the age of 17, Seungmin signed up for JYP Entertainment's Thirteenth Audition. After an excellent and confident vocal performance, he won second place among the contestants here, and at the same time became an official trainee.

After joining the company, Seungmin went through extremely harsh competency tests. Many trainees have to leave JYP because they do not meet the standards at the monthly selection sessions. Just a few months later, chairman Jin Young announced the organization of a survival program. This is a contest to find faces representing the new generation of the company, following the success of GOT7, 2PM or TWICE seniors.

Accordingly, Seungmin and eight male trainees including Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, I.N, and Woojin were selected to form a new group, competing for a debut spot in front of the female contestants. Initially, when he knew that he had to go through the survival program broadcast on Mnet, Seungmin was extremely worried because he was one of the contestants with the shortest internship time.

At that time, Seungmin was divided into a singing position along with two contestants, Kim Woojin and Yang Jungin. As soon as he appeared, he showed strong determination to conquer his dream of becoming an idol.

Right from the first episode when the show aired, Seungmin received a lot of cheers for possessing a high voice and beautiful tone. He and his team members brought an "explosive" stage at the introductory performance, so they were selected by Chairman Park for the new boy group project.

However, in order to successfully debut, Seungmin and the boys had to work together to perfect and hone the necessary artistic skills, and at the same time show the spirit of solidarity to create a complete group.

In the first task entrusted by chairman Park Jin Young, Seungmin and the members had to compose and choreograph the next performance themselves. The male singer born in 2000 has completely completed the opening segment of the song, helping him escape the risk of elimination.

After going through a difficult mission, the members who are in danger of being eliminated including Jeong In, Hyunjin, and Minho are separated. The rest enter each different team to assist these three contestants in taking on the new challenge.

Immediately, Hyunjin chose Seungmin to join the team because of his promising personality and voice. The male singer helped his group members in the process of coming up with ideas and finding suitable songs.

Thanks to the unique combination, Seungmin's group received many compliments from Chairman Park, helping member Hyunjin escape from the risk of elimination. In addition, the male singer also showed vocal potential when he fully completed the difficult segment in the song with the middle note.

Throughout the process of carrying out tasks from JYP, Seungmin always knows how to recognize shortcomings and improve himself day by day. Besides, his warm and kind personality helps him gain a large number of fans. Seungmin always wants to bring perfect stages to the audience, and his skills have improved accordingly. Because of this, the male singer was considered worthy of being included in the debut lineup of the boy group JYP.

Besides the process of trying to become an idol, Seungmin also made Kpop fans interested because he had a problem remembering his life. In 2023, Seungmin and 2 other members of Stray Kids were involved in a car collision, injuring all 3. Accordingly, the car carrying 3 Stray Kids members including Lee Know, Hyunjin and Seungmin was on their way back to the dormitory, after completing the schedule, a small traffic collision occurred. Soon after, they were quickly transferred to the hospital.

At that time, the management company JYP entertainment also apologized to fans for this incident: "We apologize for making fans worried because of this unexpected information.
