“If we think something is not good, we’ll openly say it. If there’s choreography, for example, and it feels like it’s going to be too taxing on our physical resources – as I said, we’re not getting any younger – we’ll say so, and then we’ll make those changes.”

It’s the encouragement from fans that drove us and allowed BTS to become who we are.

I put ‘hope’ in my name to be a hopeful existence in the group.

I actually don’t preoccupy myself with ‘I’m going to do this kind of rap in this kind of genre’ kind of thinking when I work.

I started dancing first, but felt I could also tell my story through my music.

I feel we have achieved the goals that we set out to achieve.

We set out with nothing but music as our dream, but we didn’t know where we were going, whether we were going uphill or downhill, or as we took a break after becoming tired, whether around the corner there was a paradise or a pitfall. That’s how we started.

When I hear the word electric, I think of Pikachu!

I felt that group vocals for ‘Airplane’ coming from all the BTS members who’ve been together through this journey would create an even more heartfelt song.

I think electricity will create a new world. I feel like the world will change a lot with electricity, and I wonder how it will change, it’s scary, and it’s going to be fun. I think there are so many things to think about when it comes to electric cars.

We’re working out, watching Netflix and learning to play instruments. I think we’re doing a lot of self-development, and also just trying to stay active.

The way I work uses a very on-the-spot flow, and I write the lyrics and the music when I feel them coming.

I don’t think you should feel too pressured about a mixtape. Just do what you want to do and show the music you want to show. You’re not trying to win something big with it.

We started out because we love music and dancing.

It’s such a great honor to be mentioned along The Beatles.

When I was a little boy, my wish was to be on an airplane. My wish was to get on a plane and fly to the sky.

Everyone liked me when I went up on the stage at a talent search in elementary school, and that’s when I decided to become a music artist.

He who has so little knowledge of human nature as to seek happiness by changing anything but his own disposition will waste his life in fruitless efforts.

A lady who sets her heart upon a lad in uniform must prepare to change lovers pretty quickly, or her life will be but a sad one.

It is a great danger for everyone when what is shocking changes.

Once you start changing a name, you see, there’s no reason ever to stop. One always hears one that sounds better.

Nae man can tether time or tide.

Its a rather pleasant change when all your life you’ve had people looking after you, to have someone to look after yourself. Only of course it has to be someone pretty hopeless to need looking after by me.

Now naturally, like many of us, I have a reluctance to change too much of the old ways.

Never marry with the expectation of changing a person.
