“We deliver many different messages to people of our generation. I want them to get good energy by listening to BTS music.”

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.

Every woman is a queen, and we all have different things to offer.

Racism is stupid. It’s an insult to God, arrogantly implying that God goofed-up when he chose to make us all different.

I enjoy doing all different types of movies even though I am the most comfortable with comedy.

There are different flavours of sexiness.

Strategy is about making choices, trade-offs; it’s about deliberately choosing to be different.

We can always choose to perceive things differently. You can focus on what’s wrong in your life, or you can focus on what’s right.

Strategy is about setting yourself apart from the competition. It’s not a matter of being better at what you do – it’s a matter of being different at what you do.

All real change requires risk. You must take risks every day of your life. You must get up each morning and ask…: What can I do that is different?
