I’ve only recently discovered bts and haven’t been able to stop listening to them. They’ve been around a lot longer than I realised and was wondering If you’d be able to explain some things about them, how they became bts. Traits that you’ve noticed they all have?

Oh wow! hahaha Hi! Welcome to the BTS Fandom! Fans are called ARMY. Yes, BTS literally has an ARMY of followers. (notice me not explaining what ARMY means lmao). While starting to write this, I realized I could write a whole book about it, which honestly, some people have. LMAO So I’ll try and make this informative starting with the foundations of BTS, the members, and the official links LMAO I also tagged some bias tumblr pages and group update pages.

Foundations:

Also, yes! BTS has been an active idol group since 2013. They had their first live stage on June 13, 2013. They are managed by a company called BigHit and was founded by a famous Korean composer named, Bang Shihyuk, more known in the K Music industry as Hitman Bang. The company itself was small and didn’t have big artists on it’s roll and roster yet, but the members and Bang PD took a chance on each other.

They had very humble beginnings. BigHit didnt have their own building, instead they rented some floors in one building. One floor was an office space, one was a practice studio, small room for recording, small rooms for production. The members themselves had to fit in one small bedroom with 3 double deck beds and a small solo bed for Jungkook.

They first introduced themselves through a series of Vlogs before they even debuted as BTS, which actually means 방탄소년단 Bangtan Sonyeondan (Bulletproof Boyscouts). Initially, they were supposed to debut as a rap group but the company decided on making them an idol group.

Their music has always been targeted towards the millenial age group and their lyrics aspire to inspire the youth. They did produce a number of love songs that were pretty usual for kpop idols but as they found their voice and produced their own music, more of their colors as individuals shone through. They sang and wrote about their struggles, hopes, dreams, which a lot of us can relate to.

Members:

(leader, then in order of age, except suga last… cause… my favorite lmao)

All the members are quite filial, always talking about their family. They are also very humble are always in awe of how much they have achieved together. Their loyalty and care for each other is very apparent in the way they interact. They all have a good, weighted understanding of music and desire for growth in their skills.

Kim Namjoon (김남준 aka RM, formerly Rap Monster)

position: leader, rapper

bday: September 12, 1994

height: 181 cm (5’11.3”)

family: parents, younger sister

hometown: Ilsan

BT21 character: Koya

Born in Ilsan, he is a smart cookie and an avid reader. It is a fact that his IQ grade is 148 and that along with his rapping prowess, made him a standout even as a rookie idol. He is also known as the English speaker of the group. According to him, he learned by watching the series FRIENDS and listening to western music. Before being part of BigHit, he was already gaining ground as an underground rapper under the name “Runch Randa” in 2007. He was only in middle school.

RM decided to join a rap crew called “Daenamhyup,” which consisted of some of the top underground rappers. RM then auditioned for another rap group which is where he met Untouchable’s Sleepy who was so impressed with him and he passed him onto Bang Shi Hyuk.

Bang PD basically created the whole idea of BTS around RM. He said that the moment he met RM he knew that he was special and it would be a waste of skill to not hone his talent.

RM now has the most production credits for the lyrics he writes and songs he produced for BTS. His lyrics are very poetic and are usually profound, finding root in various forms of literary works. He has a very commanding stage aura when he raps.

He has released 2 mixtapes so far. His first mixtape RM was released on March 17, 2015 and his second, Mono was released last year, October 23, 2018. His studio is now Rkive (formerly Mon studio).

Personality wise, Namjoon is more timid than his stage persona. He enjoys quiet morning walks in nature. His song Reflection even has a layer of one of his recordings of his surrounding while at a park. He is very clumsy, hence his nickname in the group as “god of destruction”. He also has a very interesting take on fashion which you can see from his #kimdaily posts on twitter.

Kim Seokjin (김석진 aka Jin)

position: eldest, vocalist

bday: December 4, 1992

height: 179 cm (5’10.5”)

family: parents, older brother

hometown: Gwacheon

BT21 character: RJ

Though Seokjin is the eldest member of BTS, he often doesn’t act like it. He was street casted by BigHit. Idol companies usually do this in Korea when they find someone with standout visuals in a crowd. He was actually scouted by SM too (company managing EXO) but he thought it was a scam and he never showed up. He took his chances with BigHit.

He had no singing nor dancing exprience when he started training with BigHit. He wanted to be an actor. All of his skills come from sheer determination and hardwork. In my opinion, he has the most emotional voice among the members. His range has developed immensely.

Despite having a cheerful and light hearted persona, he is actually really deep and smart. He graduated from Konkuk University last February 22, 2017 with a degree in Film and Visual Arts and majored in Film and Acting. He was part of the early admissions list and is now taking his Masters degree for Film in Hanyang Online University.

Personality wise, he is loud and playful. He is also easily surprised. He gained the nickname “Worldwide Handsome” after his visuals and confidence made people pay attention during one of the red carpets in the US. His father is apparently a CEO and his mother is a beauty queen.

He said he gained his confidence after bleaching his hair blonde and gaining much reaction during their live performance of “FIRE” where he gave air kisses. To top his amazing visuals and vocals, he also plays the piano and the guitar. Oh! And he has a sugarglider as a pet. No joke.

Jung Hoseok (정호석 aka J-Hope)

position: rapper, lead dancer

bday: February 18, 1994

height: 177 cm (5’9.7”)

family: parents, older sister

hometown: Gwangju

BT21 character: Mang

Jhope, also called fondly by the members as Hobi and Hoseoki, is the lead dancer of BTS. He had no rapping experience prior to training with Bighit and was initially trained to be a vocalist.

He was fairly known in the dance scene of his hometown and was even a part of a dance crew called “Neuron”. His love for dancing led him to audition as a trainee at a company called JYP (company that manages GOT7). He passed a few auditions there but was eventually cut as a trainee.

He didn’t give up though and went on to audition for BigHit. He started training as a vocalist for the supposed rap group which included RM and Suga, but due to the influence of the rap trainees around him, his affinity for rap and lyric writing grew.

He is now in charge of dance for BTS and though he doesn’t get much center formation attention or spotlight, everyone knows that he is the one helping the most with choreographies and training each member. He is very detail oriented and is very observant of each member. Namjoon even said that if he wasn’t the leader, he would want Jhope to be the leader.

He has a number of production credits too and released his own mix tape, Hope World on March 1, 2018. His studio is also called Hope World.

He has a very smiley persona and his energy is always alive. He is also the most easily scared, he is scared of almost everything! The members said that his happy persona came with the name, not that he was named Jhope for how he has always been. Jhope said that the name used to be burdensome but now he loves it and wears it with pride as the Hope of ARMY and BTS.

Park Jimin (박지민 aka Jimin)

position: vocalist, main dancer

bday: October 13, 1995

height: 173cm (5’8.1″)

family: parents, younger brother

hometown: Busan

BT21 character: Chimmy

Park Jimin is arguably one of the most charismatic idols out there right now. His duality of being sexy on stage and fluffy cute off stage make fans everywhere melt. This characteristic is shared mostly by the Maknae line (younger members line) of BTS.

He has had the shortest trainee period among the BTS members. before he joined Bighit, he attended the Busan High School of Arts, where he was a top student in the Department of Dance. His specialty is contemporary. One of his teachers urged him to audition for BigHit. His natural skills got him in. He trained as a vocalist under BigHit and now his vocal skills has improved largely as shown by his solo works.

He used to have chubby cheeks which earned him the nickname of Manggaettok (rice cake) and the members also call him ChimChim because of a show they had called American Hustle Life.

He is the most active on social media. He even posts for other members when the fans say they haven’t seen the members for too long. Most affectionate member also goes to him. He is often seen hugging or clinging on to the members. If a member cries, best believe Jimin will hug and comfort them after.

But Jimin isn’t all sweets, smiles, and sexiness. He is also very strong willed. He judges himself very harshly and strives for perfection. Lately, he has appeared to be more relaxed and said that he has been allowing himself to take breaks and also enjoy, which the fans who worry about him is very happy to know.

Kim Taehyung (김태형 aka V)

position: vocalist

bday: December 30, 1995

height: 178 cm (5’10.1″)

family: parents, younger brother, younger sister

hometown: Born in Daegu, grew up in Geochang, went back to Daegu to study

BT21 character: Tata

The most handsome male specimen in the world for the year 2017. Kim Taehyung’s charms are endless. From his square shaped sheepish smile to his deadly on-stage smirks, it’s hard not to be drawn in by him.

He wasn’t planning on auditioning. He accompanied his friend who wanted to audition. The auditions were held in their school because he went to an arts HS. The staff saw him there and convinced him to audition too. He trained his voice under BigHit too and now has the widest vocal range among them, not to mention his deep, soulful baritone balances out the vocals of the rest of the singing members.

He has a very keen eye for arts and aethetitics and he uses this for his hobby, photography. His favorite photographer, Vante even acknowledged his work. Tae-Tae, as Jimin fondly calls him, is the only one so far who has debuted as an actor among the members. He played the role of a young warrior in the series called Hwarang. His dancing has also improved. He didn’t have much dancing skills when he started, but his groove has now definitely changed and he has his own way of interpreting dance moves too.

In terms of lyrics writing and producing, like the other vocalists, his skills developed too. He co-wrote 4 o’ clock with RM and has continued to take part in writing for their songs.

Taehyung is very curious and unique. His laugh is deep and adorable. As part of the maknae line, he is also quite playful but his maturity has grown through the years. He has a pomeranian named Yeontan (coal brick), who is now one of the pets of the fandom.

Jeon Jungkook (전정국 aka Jungkook)

position: vocalist

bday: September 1, 1997

height: 178 cm (5’10.1”)

family: parents, older brother

hometown: Busan

BT21 character: Cooky

The baby of the group, Kookie. He is a well trained dancer with the smooth pop voice that carries most of the melodies of Bangtan’s songs.

Before joining BigHit, Jungkook auditioned for a talent show in Korea called SuperstarK. He didn’t make the cut for the show, but after the audtion, he received a number of calling cards from scouts of different big K-Idol companies, including the very small BigHit. Jungkook said that he chose BigHit because he was very impressed by RM. After he joined BigHit, he had the opportunity of being trained in LA for dance.

He has a tendency of starting different projects for himself, playing the drums, the guitar, etc. But, he found his niche in film production and even has his own brand of behind the scene footages of BTS under his production brand, Golden Closet Films.

He has been called the golden maknae because of his natural skills and visuals fit for being an idol, not to mention that body and his determination to keep working out for it. No wonder companies were eager to train him.

Jungkook has been growing in his music production too and has helped compose, produce and write some of their songs, like their song, Magic Shop. He is a powerhouse on stage and baby our of it. He looks up to his hyungs a lot and said that they basically brought him up since he started training at such a young age.

Min Yoongi (민윤기 aka SUGA)

position: rapper

bday:March 9, 1993

height: 174 cm (5’8.5″)

family: parents, older brother

hometown: Daegu

BT21 character: Shooky

Suga’s love for music was developed at an early age. When he was 13 he started working at a studio to learn more about music production. As the years progressed he joined an underground rap group in Daegu called “D-Town.” And even before auditioning for BigHit, he has created beats for various underground big names in hiphop.

He auditioned through a hiphop competition called “Hit It” and he placed 2nd over all. He initially joined the company as a producer but Bang PD was able to convince him to be part of BTS. He still jokes that Bang PD tricked him into joining cause he thought it was going to be a rap group.

Though his outward demeanor seems cold and lazy, the members actually talk about how he spends most of his time working at his studio and going home when the sun comes up. He may also seem timid but he has been vocal about various social issues like LGBT, poverty and education. He has also made it a personal traidtion to donate to charities or gift fans on his birthday.

He released his mixtape Agust D on August 15, 2016. There he opened up about his struggle with mental health and his view of himself. He also narrated his journey to becoming part of BTS. His studio is called “Genius Lab.”

To date, Yoongi has helped in producing and writing a number of BTS songs too. He also produced a song titles Wine with K singer Suran which topped various Korean charts. It was in the end lauded and he received his first solo award for production. Hence his nickname, Min PD.

P.S.: I love him. LMAO

We have got (or soon will get) Harry's and Liam's covers + magazine.😍💚❤ What would you like to see from Louis and Niall (if they were to do one)? Any ideas?! 💙🍀

i think it really depends on what they’d like the show about their personalities, interests and styles!!! generally, i would be happy with anything they do if it comes from the heart, something that they’re comfortable with and proud of. allow me to be selfish for a second though!!!!!!

for louis’s spread, i would love to see him give us more insight into his style when he’s “on” at public events but also when he’s just by himself or with people he’s himself around in his every day life. louis is such an aesthetically pleasing man who looks good in just about anything, so it’d be super interesting to see him wearing high-fashion items that accentuate his beauty, but also streetwear in casual surroundings. also!!!! i would love to get to know more about his musical and artistic influences, starting from his teenage years (maybe wearing band shirts at home and talking about the good old ‘emo’ days) and progressing to who he’s looking up to these present days. louis with his CD and instrument collection, louis with the books and movies he enjoys the most, louis in the studio - giving us the walk-through of what inspires his song writing the most, what he prioritizes in the process of creating melodies and lyrics -, louis walking clifford!!!!! since louis’s image has been so largely influenced by the people he’s linked to, i’d honestly just enjoy it if they focused on his own interests. his comfort clothes. his comfort music. how his character and life away from the spotlight has evolved over the years, by focusing on the things that have made him exprience personal and artistic growth. the way another man did it was so pleasant, and i’d love the see louis’s take on the favorite songs playlist, his most cherished items, the places he’s spent a lot of time in while growing up. in an ideal world, i would also love to hear his thoughts on what he’s experienced in the music industry, maybe linked with his identity as a gay man, and how he might want to utilize that to help out other artists who are intimidated by the risks. he’s such an intelligent and emphatic person, and i think giving a bit of a pep talk to others who might be in a similar situation could be amazing. (and as a little bonus, an entire collage of him reenacting iconic rbb and sbb photos, and giving his take on the gay media and historical events that influenced him while growing into himself, as a teenager and now that he’s come into contact with so many other people who share some of his experiences.)

for niall’s spread (and i can’t go too in depth here since i feel like i don’t really know him), i would love for it to be a really private affair. some almost candid shots of him playing the guitar, maybe a tour through his house and him talking about interior design (which he’s amazing at, it seems). it would be super interesting to see what his thought process is like, which things he wants to accentuate, what he prioritizes when he’s in his own space. i would love to hear his thoughts on current affairs, since he seems to be interested in politics and in his home country in general. maybe some pictures with his favorite books and the documentaries he watches. the meaning sports hold for him on a personal level when he’s having some time off. how he perceives his own body after surgery, how it has impacted him, and what he looks for when he’s choosing his outfits for the week. i feel like he’s got a very good sense of what he can wear to both match his character and to make himself look smart. he could probably talk about fashion for a long time, and i’d be interested in hearing about it. i’d also love to read (and see, if he’s working on something in particular) about what he’d like to build for himself outside of music, whether that’s a farm on the countryside or a pub with open mic night for young artists who are just starting out. just a mellow but in-depth look into the things that made and make him the person he is now, and how he projects that onto the future of his career and personal life away from the public.

#i loved this question #thank you so much for sending it in!!!!!#and sorry for the answer taking and being so long rip #it's probably not what you were looking for fhsjfhdks #Anonymous

As I spend mroe time alone and working on my fulltime self I seem to be getting more insight into myself. Things seema little bit mroe clearer in myself. I am more sentitive to my moods and when things are going well adn when things are not. I woke up today after having a restless sleep and felt down. I think not communicating with jesus ahs done this to me and my imagination has ben thinking up why the reason is. But I know objectively that it really is just my mind thinking things up. Discernment has been the word of the month; being able to tell what voice is telling me what in my head and telling the diffrence between my insecurities and self. I am still learning adn it is easy for me to slip back into negative thoughts about the matter. while doing my ritual I have felt it difficuly to concentrate and seem to just be going throughthe meotions. But i still won’t give up. This is a test of dedication and i wonder how much calling on pluto has influenced this. I am going to work out after this writing and hopefully feeling my muscles work and getting more energy in em will help. I also didn’t wat very well and I think that plays a good part in all of this.I am alsways looking out for signs and today an elliott hulse video popped up and intially i stoped watching his videos because I was seeing too much fire enegry and too mcuh masculine energy in lie a slightly negative way? he wasn’t resonating with me so i stopped watching his videos but today he has changed. i sense a more fminine energy in him and the video really spoke to me. He taked about how you need to die to yourself inorder to give birth to the enw you. It reminded me a lot about scorpio enegery and the scorpion to pheonix path. I find it very interesting that scorpio energy is the topic of the week. growing and discarding old shells and giving birth to new versions of ourselves seems to e the theme of 2017. But like, i think its also important to remmeebr that ithis is not true for evryone and that that is okay. We all literally have our own path. I can never criticize someone for being at their low points. today i found myself reviewing his moon sign and how he gets to virgo like. so critical and nitpicky and before it annoyed the hell out of me because he always is the first to sy that things don’t matter lets move on. The contradictions from him are amusing to bring up to him because i don’t think he’s used to it. anyway as i was reviewing his virgo moon and thinking about how often he is so critical of me and shit (though he doesn’t hold onto it very long and he says he’s joking even though i know he’s not). It’s interesting because whne him and I first met i looked up to him like ‘damn i want to be just like him or at least similar inhow i aproach life’ and as I grow into that I’m noticing that as much as I ahd to elarn a lot from him and gained so mcuh new insighst and growth ebeing with him, he has a lot to learn from me too. my pices moon could teach him how to be more softer and caring instead of harsh and critical to those we like in our lives. To look past mistakes and see the whole of a person and seeing beyond the mistakes and still loving that person. My sagittarius sun energy could teach him to be a student who looks deper inseatd of stopping at the surface of things because it really is all about the details. I don’t think he’s ready to see that yet and its a shame.We are double sister signs and i feel like our karmas were brought together to help us out. I hope he sees that soon before we are both out of each others lives. I now know that our relationship is temporary and we will move separate and move on in our lives. i am still very happy I met him and we got to experience so much together. i love his soul and energy. I look past his physical self and just have so much love for him. It unfortunately transitions from possessive to unconditional but I am getting control over it and its a lot easiar to let that shit go.anyways I bought soem biton and will eb taking thhis natural hair journey more serious i wonder how neptune is doing with my soul. I found out that until 2024 (?) neptune will be in psices and like psices is my moon sign so I will and am destined to exprience a lot of spiritual growth. i love where I am at right now in my goal to spirituality and self improveemnt and look forward to how better I can be. I sometimes feel so ethereal and almost beyond this world. i amr eady for change but look forward to embracing the everyday journey. i love myself we will get through this day of low energy and melancholoy. We can do anything and I’m proud of how far we have come.
