Position of SUGA
Position: Lead Rapper
The unique stage name of the member whose real name is Min Yoon-gi was chosen because of his sweet smile like sugar. He is a graduate of Apujeong High School.
Although thick with his sweet and cute face, apparently Suga is in the rapper position. His expertise in delivering meaningful rap lyrics is beyond doubt. In addition, Suga is also talented in producing songs until he releases an album containing his own songs.
Not many know that BTS’s Suga, who in January 2018 received full membership of the Korean Music Copyright Association, started his career as an underground music rapper. In fact, his struggles became tougher because his parents opposed his music.
Suga dreamed of becoming a musician from a young age. Even though he was born in a poor family, he remained firm with the passion he dreamt of. When he was in high school, Suga showed a lot of interest in music.
BTS’s Suga’s dream was to become a famous rapper. This dream was obtained by BTS’s Suga after listening to the song “Fly” from Epik High.

Jin is the oldest member of BTS. His soft voice positions him as a vocalist of the group. Jin has become the best chef in the group thanks to his cooking skills.
Before his debut, Jin first underwent training for three years. Meanwhile, Jin was born into a family of entrepreneurs. No wonder this man whose real name is Kim Seokjin is good at speaking and understanding the world of business.
BTS’s Jin never pursued his dream as a singer for the first time, but he wanted to become an actor instead. Finally, in order to pursue that dream, BTS’s Jin enrolled in acting at Konkuk University. When he was in middle school, BTS’s Jin was also offered a casting by SM Entertainment. However, BTS’s Jin at that time even ran away because he thought the offer was a hoax.
Position of Jimin
Position: Main Dancer, Lead Vocalist
Jimin is the main dancer of BTS. His dancing talent is apparently thanks to his fondness for Taeyang, a member of the idol group Big Bang who is no less famous.
Besides being good at dancing, Jimin also has a unique voice that colors BTS’s songs. Not only that, but Jimin is also known as a social butterfly, aka someone who easily makes friends with many people.
BTS’s Jimin studied contemporary dance at Busan High School of Arts. Since he was in the 2nd grade of junior high school, BTS’s Jimin had fallen in love with dancing. His teacher at Busan High School of Arts told Jimin to pursue his dream by auditioning for Big Hit Entertainment.

Position of V
Position: Sub Vocalist, Visual
One of the BTS members who was born in Daegu in 1995 is famous for his good looks. Then, who would have thought that BTS’s V who was born in Geochang, apparently grew up in a farming family? At Geochang, BTS’s V was persuaded by his father to learn the saxophone until he started dreaming of becoming a professional saxophone player.
This is where the momentum of V’s way of life changes significantly. Six months of learning dance, Big Hit happened to hold an audition in Daegu, South Korea. Kim Taehyung aka V also came there. But interestingly, V didn’t attend the audition. He came because he was accompanying a friend. As if destined to become an idol, unexpectedly, someone offered V to audition. After getting permission from his father, he also auditioned. And the rest of the story is now great history. V managed to become the only participant who passed the audition from the Daegu area.
