Most people spell 지민이 either Jiminie or Jiminy (probably because that's what you'd add to the end in English), but I spell it Jimini.
There's 2 reasons, really.
1. because his name is 지민. ㅈ = j/ch ㅣ = i ㅁ = m ㅣ = i ㄴ = n
That's the technical romanization of those characters.
Then, when you add the cute ending to it, the name becomes 지민이 지 = ji 민 = min 이 = i (the ㅇ is silent because in Hangul, all blocks [which are syllables] start with a consonant, and the second "letter" in it is always a vowel. Okay, well some blocks don't start with a consonant, but instead start with the silent placeholder 'ㅇ.' Without the silent placeholder, his name would end up like 지미니, ji-mi-ni. But that's wrong. It's ji-min-i)
