Rap Monster(real name Kim Nam Joon)
Position in the group: leader, main rapper.
Birthday: September 12, 1994 (22)
Rap Monster is very positive in the group, he raps well. He believes that Monya breaks everything she touches because of this, the participants often feel over him.
Gin
Position in the group: lead vocalist, face of the group.
Born December 4, 1992 (24).
Jin is the oldest in the group. Jin has a very sweet voice. Jin in the group BTS is like a mother, he cooks and cleans. Participants say that when Jin cooks, his food is almost always monotonous and almost always tastes the same. Jin is always given very few parts in songs.
Suga
Real name Min Yoon Gi
Position in the group rapper
Born March 9, 1993 (23)
In my opinion, Suga is a very cool rapper, he has good rhythm and speed. Suga is often angry and swears at his members, and it seems like he’s the only one in the group who can swear often. They also call him Sugar, apparently this name comes from when he was little white because his character is not too similar to this nickname, but in general Suga is very sweet and cheerful. Suga is very lazy and often likes to sleep, but when it comes to performing or something else, his laziness immediately disappears
Jay Hope
Real name Chan Ho Seok
Position in the group is rapper, dancer.
Jay Hope is one of the funniest members of the group. He is almost always in the mood, he dances very well, one might say simply wonderful. Jay Hope at first glance does not seem serious because he is constantly having fun and talking nonsense, but this is a deceptive opinion. Jay Hope can be very serious. Jay Hope is very afraid of roller coasters or any heights, but for the sake of the group and to show that he is still a man, he is ready to go through all this, Jay Hope is also very afraid of all kinds of scythes and snakes. Maybe he’s not afraid of them, but he’s definitely disdainful.
Park Jimin
Position in the group: vocalist, dancer
Born October 13, 1995 (21)
Jimin is the shortest in the group, but despite his height he dances and sings very well. Although earlier you said that Jimin is a bad dancer, maybe it was just a joke. Jimin used to have chubby cheeks and muscles, but due to the fact that they often go on diets, his cheeks disappeared. Jimin is very popular among fans (in general, like all the other members.)
Jimin's high voice and he often beats high notes, Jimin is also famous for his big hips. Jimin is very sweet and cheerful, he often gives his hyungs.
(Hyung is an older brother, but in Korea it is also customary for boys and musicians to address their elders this way. If a person is older than someone, then you can simply address him as Hyun).
V
Real name Kim Tae Hyun
Position in the group vocalist
Born on December 30th.
V is, in my opinion, the most mysterious member of the group, but he is very strange. I also call V the same (Cherry or 4D)
Even V can’t explain why the members nicknamed him 4D in his childhood, when V was at the zoo and a monkey spat on him. V believes that rabbits live on the moon, and he also believes in aliens. V is very funny and sweet. V’s habits are sometimes very strange; he communicates most with Park Jimin; they are almost always together.
Jungkook (youngest member of the group)
Position in the group: dancer, vocalist, rapper and maknae (translated as junior)
Born September 1, 1997 (19).
I also call Gook as the golden maknae and this is really about him, because at the age of 19 he probably already has everything that anyone could want. He sings and dances well, he also raps and everything works out great for him. The participants love Guk very much because he is so ours. Gook is probably the most popular among fans or maybe even fans.

History of creation
The famous South Korean entertainment company Big Hit Entertainment approached the creation of the team scrupulously and, by the standards of world show business, slowly. Since 2010, producers have been recruiting candidates, simultaneously creating a fan cafe long before BTS made their public debut. Initially, the project was conceived as a duet of RM (Rap Monster, real name Kim Nam Joon) and Iron (never entered the group, performed in Show Me The Money), but in the process of casting and auditions it was decided to change the concept to a boy band with a large number of participants. 
The formation of the group lasted almost three years, during which the composition was constantly modified and trained. The core of BTS was formed only in 2012. The members of BangTan Boys are: Rap Monster, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, V, Jungkook, Jimin. Unlike his colleagues, Jimin completed his internship in just a year, perhaps because he was the last to join the group. The remaining participants underwent a three-year probationary period.
As trainees (students), the guys themselves composed about a hundred tracks (if rumors are to be believed), and six months before their official debut on stage, they became active users of social networks, posting their compositions on YouTube.
PR using Twitter and presenting songs on the Internet are only part of the campaign invented by the producers. For example, there was also a news channel they made up that actively promoted a parody show starring the BangTan Boys members.
The creativity of BTS is distinguished by the content of its lyrics, which, as stated in the press, are written by the guys themselves. The music for them, the arrangement and production of the numbers is also the work of RM, Suga and J-Hope. It is worth noting that the group sings in both Korean and Japanese.

South Korean creativity is quite popular in our country. There are a lot of bands there that play quite unconventional and high-quality music.
Unlike monotonous European groups, representatives South Korea They try to create their own unique style, which in the end they succeed very well. They are equally good in pop music and rock. However, among them there is one absolutely wonderful group that managed to destroy all stereotypes and become a group that is able to play music in the hip-hop genre on a par with their Western counterparts.
This one is called talented group BTS. Her biography is incredibly interesting. Next we will focus on a few special important stages her work, and we will also tell you in detail about each of its participants.
So, let's repeat that BTS is a Korean group. Participant names current composition are:
- Rap Monster - leader, rapper;
- Chin is the face of the group, vocalist;
- Suga - composer, rapper;
- J-Hope - main dancer, rapper;
- Jimin - dancer, vocalist;
- V - vocalist;
- Jungkook is a vocalist, dancer, sub-rapper.
Start
The team was formed back in 2011, when a selection of talented young performers was underway throughout the country. The first two members of BTS were taken during one of the auditions at the largest Korean studio.
Many future performers at that time had only recently turned eighteen years old, but thanks to perseverance and talent, they easily managed to get to the very top in a matter of months and prove to labels that they were truly talented.
It began to take shape closer to 2012, when an underground performer known in narrow circles, nicknamed Rap Monster, became its leader. By that time, he already had serious experience in performing, as well as several released tracks. Overnight, he became the most prominent member of the group and was also pushed to the forefront.
Moreover, as a leader, he began to write most of the lyrics for the group, as well as organize the show. Despite the fact that he is far from the oldest artist in BTS, Rap Monster is by far the most bright personality and a fan favorite. He is the idol of millions of listeners from all over the world, inspiring each of them to various achievements and self-improvement.
So we can say with complete confidence that the composition of the BTS group would not be so bright without the named member. Next, J-Hope, the main dancer of the group, joined the lineup. He had incredible talent, and Korean studios quickly noticed this. Before joining BTS, he performed in a street dance gang and achieved considerable success with it.
J-Hope found it very quickly common language with the rest of the group and became one of the key figures. One of the most important factors The reason why he was taken into the team was his long-standing acquaintance with the Rap Monster, with whom he had already performed several times. Between them there was the most true friendship, the guys supported each other in difficult times, and complemented each other perfectly on stage. So no one had any doubt that J-Hope should be taken into the BTS group.
Music
Suga is another talented person. This young performer has long established himself as a great arranger. He not only had an excellent voice, but also an excellent one, which, you see, is important. He easily created catchy beats, without which it is impossible to compose truly hit hip-hop songs.
He quickly became friends with the two leaders of BTS - J-Hope and Rap Monster, becoming an integral part of the friendly crowd. Now it’s hard to imagine BTS without this amazing musician. The group owes much of its sudden success to him. Since joining, he has written music for almost all BTS songs, so he can rightfully be considered one of the most important links in the group.
Jungkook is the youngest member of the group. He was the last to join BTS, but despite his age, he quickly attracted public attention. Not only was he good on the mic, but he could also dance like J-Hope.
Success
Bright personalities could not help but make BTS famous. Korean group, the biography of each participant of which is now inextricably linked with the stage, was able to achieve success only by turning into a friendly team. Now they are one of the best boy bands of our time. His success was guaranteed from the very beginning, because the guys had everything they needed to create a popular group - talent, perseverance and a memorable image.
BTS - Korean group: composition and its change
Later other musicians joined the band. And when the lineup was finally formed, it was time for a full-fledged debut. But, unfortunately, they were not able to do this right away. As with many young groups, disagreements began, resulting in two members leaving BTS.
Of the nine musicians, only seven remained, but this did not stop them from continuing their activities. After two years of preparation, they gained serious experience and were ready to prove themselves in public. This happened in 2013. It is worth noting that this year has been very successful for the group. In addition to live performances, they managed to release their debut single, which quickly entered the country's top charts and was highly appreciated by both music lovers and professional critics. The disc was called 2 Cool 4 Skool and contained seven excellent tracks. The most successful song in the album is considered to be the composition called No more dream.
In June of the same year, a music video was shot for it, which did not leave TV screens for a long time, regularly broadcast on numerous Korean music channels. By that time, BTS had finally secured the title of the best young group in the country.
For the group BTS (you can see photos of the participants with names in the article), their first major success was their performance at the popular M festival! Countdown, where the group performed the above-mentioned hit No more dream, which to this day is considered one of the main works of the group.
Later, on the wave of success, a video was shot for a song called We Are Bulletproof Pt.2. All this ultimately led to the fact that the group was recognized as the best young performers in the country and received a lot of prestigious awards.
Combination of cultures
Unlike many other Asian groups, BTS prefer to perform their music on English. Each of the band's musicians speaks it perfectly, so during listening you won't hear even a hint of an accent. But besides this, the guys skillfully mix English and Korean languages in their texts, which ultimately gives them an original and unusual sound.
Tour
With the advent of 2014, the group's success only increased. BTS released another mini-album, the sales of which exceeded all possible expectations. In just a year, the group members became stars who were invited to perform at the country's largest music arenas.
It's time to go on my first really big tour. These were shows on a global scale, and the army of fans grew every day.
There are more and more fans
Having achieved recognition in their homeland, the guys decided to try their hand abroad. And for good reason, because in Europe a sharp rise in their popularity became noticeable, which was greatly facilitated by the talented composition of the group. BTS, with a photo of seven attractive guys, has acquired a large number of fans in various parts of the world, including Russia.
Conclusion
These days, the group is still as popular and clearly has no plans to slow down. New compositions are included in a variety of tops, and a recent hit called Fire even made it into the top twenty most popular in the history of iTunes. The video for this song managed to collect 4 million views on the Internet in two days. So we recommend that all connoisseurs of good music familiarize themselves with the work of BTS. You definitely won't be disappointed.
It is interesting that the name of the group translated into Russian means “bulletproof”, and, obviously, this is absolutely true.
