MC:BTS is celebrating their 9th anniversary and because of that , we'll be looking through their highlights, we'll ask them questions about their friendships, their career and personal lives.
MC: Jin we'll start with you,when did you first feel like this (group) could be something special and where are you guys today? Anyone else free to answer after Jin.
JIN: it sounds cheesy, but from the day I Joined I knew there was something special, there was a instant bond from the beginning , we started as stranger, to band mates, friends , best friends , and now soulmates. it's hard to describe , but I think each of us felt the same thing.They are more than just family to me.. all seven of them. I love them.
Y/N: for me it was the moment I Met this guy's. I was little nervous at first since am the only girl. Those nervous faded so quickly though. They never let me feel less than or like I never belonged. They always made me feel included. sure, Jungkook still doesn't let me win at games, that hasn't changed,I didn't had any siblings growing up so it was a tough adjustment to get used of
seven boys.i almost didn't make the cut but I'm happy Big Hit Entertainment took a chance with me, I have rm to thank for that.
RM: truthfully, for me, I knew it was something serious that moment I sat down and watched everyone's auditions.i remember meeting everyone for the first time, and feeling a spark. Jin said it well that you can't explain the connection that we have, we've seen each other at our best and out worst. we're pieces to a puzzle that work beautifully together, while we have started off as stranger , that quickly changed. we adapted well and music brought us together. I'm just grateful that we've made it this far and we continue to grow together, They've made me a stronger leader and I continue to grow, not only as their leader but as a person, too.i can call any if them , and know that they'll answer or they'll help me any personal problems that I may have.and it works both way. I would do anything for all seven members,I know you might think that not all 8 are close but we are , we bicker like siblings, act like a married couple, and that's been going on since we first become roommates. I'll be honest, I don't think that this group would be where it's at if it didn't have all 8 of us.
MC: Did you ever face any hardships along the way?? what did that do to you as a group?
Jungkook: We faced plenty of hardships over the years. we've had multiple injuries during concerts. we argued we've argued about big and little things ,some argument led to us not speaking to each other for a few days But we learned how to communicate and how to fix whatever problem we had as a unit. At the end of the day, we're still a family. Each member has touched my heart in ways that no other person has. And I have ARMY to thank for that. They made it possible for us to continue as long as we have. we can't thank them enough.
Suga: I'm going to echo a lot of what Jungkook just said.we went through hardships with not only each other, but also hit a lot of walls from the beginning until now.we dealt with a lot of hate in the beginning because we had a girl on our group, they Said things like we should never make it far or achieve much if we kept her around. Many people wanted to see us fail. I think that's what made us stronger from the beginning, we learned that we needed to have each other's backs.
MC: let's talk more about that..... ( *suga gets nervous*)
Suga: I'm not great at expressing myself but we're close because we had to overcome a lot of hurdles.
MC: That includes people assuming you're romantically linked to someone in the group, right?
Suga: Yes, pretty much.yes. I'd rather not talk about that.
MC: How do you feel about fan's and the world romantically connecting you with each other?
Jimin: I was uncomfortable about it at first, we never wanted to give the impression that any of us were an item. But I decided not to pay attention to any rumors. we all know that what we have is special. There might be a time that it doesn't translate on camera where people take it as us flirting... We're close,you know? we've spent so much time together that we don't think that what we do on camera is going to make people assume that we're an item.we like to get a rise out of each other, and I think people takes it as 'oh, that must mean that they're together when that's not the truth, Especially in the beginning. we loved to tease one another and we had an ongoing joke that y/n and I were an item, But I just like making her smile and laugh. we all do. So when people took it as we were a couple, that became a problem for me but I've learned to ignore it , and try to move on and continue to have fun with my best friends.
MC: Beautifully said. What are your plans/ goals in the future?
J Hope: it's a lot of things that I want. I would love to continue to make albums together. we have plans for future projects that we can't wait to show the world. we've already talked about being together for the rest of our lives. Our goal for this upcoming summer is to go on an vacation with all eight members with no cameras. just to enjoy each other's company.while we don't mind showing the world who we are , we also want to enjoy some peace and quiet. That's the goal that I'm looking the most forward to. Then after we return , we'll dive into our next album.
V: Just like J Hope mentioned, we'll be going on vacation this summer, our plan is to leave for a month or two. That's when we have the most fun where we can be together without having to watch what we say or do That's when we talk about personal issues that we might be dealing with, and we also act like ourselves.Thats what I'm looking forward to the most.
MC: And last but not least, who would you say you're the closet to?
Y/n: It's hard to narrow it down because I get along well with all of them.RM and I have always had a brother/sister relationship.j hope was the first one I connected with. jimin and v do things to make me smile. But Jim and suga are the one that I rely on the most. l lean on them for everything.
Suga: Its true . The three of us are eternal soulmates. J Hope gives me the energy that I need without him, I'm nothing.
J Hope: It's difficult because we've known each other for nearly a decade. we've shared so many memories together that it's impossible to pick who's I'm the closest with.The maknae line and I have always been close, A part of me feels like I've raised them, you know? I've seen them make mistake, I learn from them, grow, and I've tried to guide them as much as I can.U don't think I can pick just one person , I'm close with all of them.All seven of them.
Jungkook: same goes for me
.
V: Everyone knows that jimin and I've known each other the longest.There was a time that he was the only one I leaned on, but over time, I've gotten close to the rest. I call them on a regular basis whenever we're not working together. And I talk to y/n and Jungkook almost every night.i feel weird if a day goes by and I haven't texted or called one member.
Jin: it's tough to just pick one A lot of us have a sibling-like friendship, and like J-hope said, there are so many memories and years that we've been together that's it's tough narrowing it down. I always tease that I've raised Jungkook and y/n but it feels like that at times, I look at them like my babies. But I also have a strong Bond with the other members. Each one made me the person I am today.
Rm: when we first started, I was the closest with suga since we were the first two that joined, and we also wrote a lot of songs together. we were like a married couple.Then as the family grew, I spent a lot of one on one sessions with every member. I got to know them, their personalities, their strengths and while we've said time and time again that none of us are in a relationship, sometimes it feels like we are. we know our likes, dislikes, what makes us tick. we've all shared enough memories that we can write books about our friendships. like we've said before we're all each other's soulmate.
Thank you for having us today, we look forward to doing another Q and A with you.
All of you: Thank you, goodbye!!
