Real quotes. Just tannie things.
In the HYYH series, BTS kept their promise about their name. They speak about the world’s prejudice and the difficulties experienced by young people in their teens and 20s as if fending off raining gunfire.

Taehyung’s approach to his work:

🐻 For me, just one look, and I can immediately see the they’re becoming more amazing as time goes on. If I have no comparison point, my timing ends up slower than the other members. That’s why the other members get targeted by my ambition.

[After the release of HYYH 1] BTS was well on the road to success. However, as much as love for them had increased, they were also the target of intense hostility from some, and anti-fans and ARMY were constantly embroiled in offensive and defensive, almost like a war.

🐿️ When I heard "I keep living my life thanks to you," I thought, 'Oh, I guess I'm giving someone strength.' I also get strength from them (ARMY), too. It's pretty interesting, each side giving each other strength… I thought that, 'even if just for these people, I can't give up now.'

SUGA on preparing gifts for the fans with love and care in 2015:

Q: Why do you put in so much care?

🐱 I believe they’re the reason for my existence, these people.

Jin on his "mukbang”, "EAT JIN."

🐹 At the time, there wasn't really any way to communicate with the fans, and as I liked eating, I thought I should upload that at least, and began filming. I wanted ARMY to be able to see my face, and that's how it started.

Taehyung on remaining active on live and social media.

Q: How did the members respond to this increase in work?

🐻 I just followed the group's decisions. I didn't see my own personal decisions as important at all.

"Dope" or "jjeoleo" in Korean, generally means "on a roll," "awesome," similar to the word "swag," but in the lyrics, BTS use the other meaning of "jjeoleo": "to stink with sweat."

While other groups would boast: "We're dope," BTS came forward declaring, "We practice until we stink with sweat."

🐿️ The members all had ambition… All of us [during HYYH] were thinking, 'I want to go even higher.' Maybe that was why our group had gotten this far already... I think that if even one of us had thought differently, it would have been difficult to do.

🐹 I shared a room with SUGA, Jungkook was in a room with RM, and V, Jimin, and j-hope shared the biggest room between them. Our day-to-day life changed a lot. Before that, it was really crowded, but from then on, there was the fun of going to each other's rooms.

🐹 There's steps to everything. Sometimes you have to climb slowly. And we knew that all the other people who succeeded climbed up slowly, little by little.

🐿️ I don't think we had prejudices about one another's hometowns. So the conversations were easygoing and we could just laugh together and enjoy hometown stories, and that's how the song [paldogangsan] developed. It was born because we had respect for one another's origins.

🐻 The way, I see it, all of us members are ridiculous. We are quite feral and therefore stubborn to the end. I love it because in this group, no matter how much our hearts break, we only love the stage even more. “So I fell down, no big deal, “that kind of sentiment.

🐰 Until now, the biggest blessing of my life is meeting these hyungs.
December 26, 2024 at 7:32 PM
When Jimin admired RM to the point of asking how he could be like him:

🐥 Hyung, how do I get that cool vibe like you? *laughs*
December 26, 2024 at 7:28 PM
🐥 When the hyungs were writing the lyrics [for 2 COOL 4 SKOOL], they kept asking me for input too.
“What do you think about this kind of content?”
“What are kids around you like?“
“Aren’t any of your school friends chasing their dreams?“
Stuff like that. I was really thankful.

🐨 [As the leader] I received so much respect from the other members. It makes me think they’ve been very good with recognizing and accepting each other. They really treated me well.
December 26, 2024 at 7:00 PM
🐨 The members were just good people. Very good people..
December 26, 2024 at 6:58 PM
🐱 It was really hard to respect the fact that we were all different people. I used to be very extreme and trapped in a black and white mindset. My immature mind would think, “Why is he thinking that way? Shouldn’t a normal human being think this way?“
December 26, 2024 at 6:56 PM
How Jin and V became friends:

🐹 V liked old manhwa and anime, just like me. So I would go up to him and go, “Hey, have you seen this one? “And that’s how we became friends.
December 26, 2024 at 6:52 PM
🐻 I would sneak outside the dorm with Jimin and we’d eat together and talk together. Or go to the jjimjilbang spa with Jungkook, or ride sleds when it snowed, and then pretend nothing had happened when the manager would check up on us at the dorm *laughs*
December 26, 2024 at 6:50 PM
🐿️ The moment it was decided, the seven of us would debut as a group, that’s when our concept as a group fell into place. We talked among ourselves a lot. “We have, I have this goal. What about you guys? Shall we do this together?” That kind of thing.
December 26, 2024 at 6:47 PM
Pre-debut Taehyung on BTS becoming a team:

🐻 While I argued a lot with Jimin, who is my age, and with the other members as well, we worked together so much and talked with each other so much that little by little, we really did feel we were becoming a team.
December 26, 2024 at 6:45 PM
Pre-debut j-hope about coming together to train in less than a year for their debut as BTS:

🐿️ We didn’t fuse together well at first. Our backgrounds were just so different, and we wanted different things.. it was hard to calibrate our sense of objectives toward a single goal.
December 26, 2024 at 6:43 PM
Pre-debut Jungkook about RM, SUGA and j-hope:

🐰 The hyungs were on another level among the trainees, which made me think, ‘Wow, I want to be like them, too’ or ‘The hyungs are dressed so cool’ and I would buy the same clothes *laughs*
