BTS is the King of K-Pop, sprouting from South Korean soil and embracing the whole world! How much do you really know about the BTS? Here are all the details you do not know about! ..
BTS is already known as the best music group on earth. Not only are they the leader/king/most popular group of K-POP, they also lead modern POP without compromising their own language.
When Was BTS Founded (day month year)? First Release Dates:
The first steps of BTS’s foundation were taken in 2010. Big Hit Entertainment began recruiting trainees in 2010 to form a new and unrivaled special boy band. In other words, the members were not brought together and formed a group in 2013 as if they were falling off the ground. BigHit was very selective. BTS’s first members were recruited in 2010 and 2011 as trainee auditions for Big Hit’s “Hit it” competitions. It took 3 years for the group to form. It is said that more than 50 interns have been tried in this process to determine if they are suitable for the group.
BTS released their first trailer on Sunday, May 26, 2013, after 3 years of long member selection and training. They made their official debut with their first song “No More Dream ” on the album “2cool 4skool“. Have the members sat idle until this time? Of course no! Thanks to their social media posts, video blogs, blog posts and fancafe broadcasts, as well as YouTube and SoundCloud covers, they had already built a huge fan base before their 2013 debut. This is BTS, the word now?

How was BTS set up?
Everything is under the head of Bang Si Hyuk, founder of BigHit. The CEO of BigHit, known today as the father of BTS, founded various kpop groups by 2010. Before founding BigHit, he worked as a producer at JYP, one of the 3 biggest players in the industry until 2005. Many considered BigHit a subsidiary of JYP because of this partnership and believe there is a connection between BTS and JYP. However, the largest of all agencies today were born at that time!
Anyway, Hyuk set up a few girl groups in the process, but he never succeeded and the groups fell apart. The man was ambitious, this time he holds tight and sets up the plans of a group that will print money for many years. At that time, the sympathy of high school students to pop music was increasing. Bang Si Hyuk doesn’t want to miss the opportunity and decided to form a high school pop group. In 2010, the “ Hit it ” music contest was organized. The birth of Bangtan (BTS) is based on this contest in 2010.
When BTS debuted, the high schoolers loved their pop style and the band members were extremely warm and friendly, helping them to be instantly recognized. Another reason for the group’s sudden explosion was the good introduction of the members before their official debut. The first promotion started with a performance by RM with Zico, followed by another video of J-Hope and Suga. Afterwards, the members of V and Jimin were also promoted and, most recently, the BTS members were promoted by announcing that Jungkook is a “Superstar K” contestant. They made their official debut in 2013 with the first trailer that followed the introduction of the group members.
The group was expected to explode with unique talent for hip-hop, but it was also anticipated that they would make a new breakthrough in dance with their dance choreographies. During challenging internship times, members selected to the group often held various competitions to improve each other’s individual talents. Before making their debut, they covered the songs of many idols they took as an example, thus showing the fans waiting for them how the group would progress. During their debut, the unconventional elements in their music videos and songs, and their hard vibe, the way they didn’t look like rookies despite being rookies attracted many fans.
How were BTS Members Discovered?
RM was an underground rapper back then. As he takes part in various small scenes, he begins to develop himself in terms of both song and dance, and thus his reputation increases. When he gains some fame, he is invited to audition for a hip-hop agency. Here Sleepy from Untouchable follows him a bit. Sleepy is impressed by RM’s rap skills, asks for his phone number and passes it to Bang Shi Hyuk, BigHit’s boss. He said: “Don’t kidnap this guy”! Hyuk immediately invites RM to their BTS audition, “Hit it.”
Let’s get to Suga; While still in high school, he appeared in underground hip-hop scenes as a producer and rapper. He called himself “Gloss” at that time. In time, his music and dance develop and his name begins to be heard. Suga shows how talented he is from then and starts working with and producing songs for larger underground bands. The man is stubborn, he’s determined to be a star. To make a breakthrough, he decides to attend the “Hit it” rap audition, and takes 2nd place. Thus, Suga joins Big Hit Entertainment as a producer/trainee.
Rap Monster, the special guest of “Hit It”, and Suga, the runner-up of the competition, are thus selected to the pre-stage trainee group to join BTS as a result of their auditions. The first 2 members are in the pocket, there are 5 members left.
J-Hope was a good dancer who always wanted to be a vocalist. He was a member of the dance team ‘NEURON’ before debuting with BTS. He also auditioned for JYP with his team, but was not liked. According to a rumor, Bang Si Hyuk, who once worked at JYP, asked JYP about him, thinking he could fit the BTS pattern Another rumor is that J-Hope decided to audition with his team in order to get the cover for Big Hit Entertainment, and he was accepted into the company with his superior dance skills, strong sense of rhythm and rap potential. Of course, this is not all for J-Hope. BigHit never saw him as full potential among the trainees, so he came to the point of leaving the agency shortly before BTS’s debut. RM’s efforts to convince BigHit that BTS needed J-Hope were fruitful, and remained with the group. Or would we just watch M-Hop or T-Hope instead! Who knows?
The lucky man is Jin . The man didn’t have the wish to do kpop. There was only one thing in his head: acting. One day, Jin, who studied acting at the university, was seen by a representative of BigHit while getting off the bus. Whether the man looked to his height, face, or looks, he persuades him to enter BigHit’s audition. No one knows exactly how, but his magic feather makes him the 4th member, although he allegedly doesn’t know how to dance or sing. Rumor has it that Jin stood out for his good looks, saying “this guy should be in the band” and became a singer through hard work and practice.
Real boy, the group’s maknae Jungkook , it is noticed that Superstar K is a very talented young man in dance in the auditions for the third season. It is watched and liked by 7 different agencies including JYP, FNC and Starship. Jungkook declines all these offers just to be with RM, who has been fascinated by his rap skills and wanted to dance with him before. Although it was still a small agency at the time, it says “yes” to BigHit for RM’s sake.
Did you get 5!
Taehyung (V) has no money and stamps, he wants a happy his family. Different kid he was! He didn’t have much money when he was little. Farmer boy, calm-natured but wants to be a musician when he grows up! Taehyung (V), who has been playing the saxophone for years, goes to support his friends at the audition. Someone in charge of the competition sees him and encourages him to audition (whatever he is doing now). A phone call for dad immediately! In fact, he is the only winner in the auditions he participated in when he had no plans.
Jimin was the best student in the Dance Department at Busan Art High School. Realizing that he has a future, one of the dance teachers calls him to audition for Big Hit Entertainment. BigHit, who admires his abilities, quickly invites him to Seoul as a trainee. Although he was the last member to join the group, thanks to his natural talents and strong physique, he joined the group as the 7th member after a few months of intense training.
Have you a group of 7 people!
