4. RM Learnt English By Watching ‘Friends’
The group's leader is RM, which used to stand for Rap Monster but now stands for 'Real Me.' Kim Nam-Joon, or RM, is one of the strongest English speakers in this native Korean boy band, and he admits that he learned the language via watching Friends! in the 1990s.
5. They Were Not Always This Popular
BTS, who are now popular all over the world, used to struggle to make ends meet. As bizarre as it may sound, they formerly shared a one-room flat. They were hardly an overnight sensation, and it took the band around three years to break out. In 2010, Big Hit Entertainment conducted tryouts for the group. The band, however, did not make their debut until 2013.
6. Suga Was An Underground Rapper
Before joining BTS, Suga was an underground rapper known as 'Gloss.' He selected it because it was similar to his birth name, Min Yoon-gi. Yoon-gi is Korean for'shine' or 'gloss.'
7. Jungkook Wanted To Be A Tattoo Artist

8. BTS Was Going To Name Themselves Differently
It's difficult to fathom calling BTS anything other than BTS now that they've become an international sensation. They almost called themselves 'Big Kidz' or 'Young Nation,' but decided on Bangtan Sonyeondan at the last minute.
9. They Produce Their Own Music
The well-known K-pop group handles all of the work themselves. This means they compose, write, edit, and record all of their music themselves. Of course, they occasionally work with other artists.
10. J-Hope Was A Street Dancer
J-Hope, one of the group's top dancers, has a lengthy history in the dance field. He used to be a street dancer with the Neutron dance company. Jung Ho-Seok, often known as J-Hope, has won prizes in both local and national dancing contests in his homeland of Gwangju!
