I really admire and thank Fang PD for his courage to decisively change Hip-Hop into an idol group. Although the original members would have been very exciting if they really got together, it would be a pity if they didn't have Bangtan!
BTS originally planned to debut as a Hip-Hop Crew. Only three of the initial members were current BTS members RM, J-Hope, and SUGA. The remaining preliminary members were:
who participated in "Show Me" the Money 3"'s rapper - Iron:
i11evn:
Later turned into a producer, and is still an excellent musical partner of BTS. Supreme Boi:
and Basick. Later he participated in "Show Me The Money 4" in 2015 And won the championship:
In addition, Beenzino was invited to join, but he refused.
Result Bang Si Hyuk suddenly decided to change course and become an idol group. At this time, all except those 3 members left. The members who joined later were:
who originally wanted to be an actor but was recruited on the way to school Jin:
who came through the audition V:
and Jimin, a member who joined in the last round of the draft in 2012 and was the modern dance principal at Busan Arts High School at the time:
. This is how we have become the 7 people who have never changed since their debut. BTS!
Bang Si Hyuk changed his mind at that time, which was a stroke of genius! I believe it was a decision made under a lot of pressure, but thanks to PD Youfang’s persistence at the time, the BTS that is now shaking the world was born:
