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

We’ve matured musically, as well as in the way we think. We’ve also developed a higher sense of responsibility. This has refined us and these developments are really being reflected in our music and our dance.

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.

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.

I don’t put weight on fame, and having people around me just because I am famous makes me feel really bad about myself.

I wanted to be successful, not famous.

When Van Halen started out, there was no path to fame. We just played what we liked. Even today it always comes down to the simplicity of rock and roll.

I never dreamt of being a musician for my livelihood. I certainly never would have wanted to be in the business that I’m in, meaning the fame and the glory, the glitter, the rock star, the famous part.

I don’t hang out with the Hollywood cool people. I’m not out trying to make friends with people because they’re famous.

I earned my famous name.

Every day, I work at not taking this fame thing seriously. Fortunately, I have a great group of friends who help me do this.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful for everything, but I don’t wanna make it seem like I wouldn’t be able to survive without fame. ‘Cause I did it for 13 years.
