“When I was a little kid, I simply loved music and enjoyed expressing myself with my body.”

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 remember being captivated by Jules Verne’s ‘Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea’ when I read it as a kid.

The music helped me sympathize with our young generation and also empathize with them. I’d like to create and write more music that represents them.

Louder Than Bombs’ shows our inner shadows.

We will try to make the name BTS sound as cool as The Beatles.

We’re proud that everything we do is giving off light.

It feels as if the world has acknowledged and accepted our sincerity.

I love my life!

We Are Bulletproof: The Eternal’ demonstrates that we will keep going despite the difficulties. It reveals our ego.

The singing in ‘Dynamite,’ it wasn’t easy because the song is high-pitched.

I think I just laugh nonstop. I think my laughter naturally melts in when I want to recharge.

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.

My fantasy had always been making a music video and performing with music that I had created.

We want to keep doing our own music and show our own colors.

We have reached milestones that are far beyond what I expected.

This body of ours has one fault: the more you indulge it, the more things it discovers to be essential to it. It is extraordinary how it likes being indulged.

Pain is never too weak to leave the body still standing or laughing the same.

Sleep might be the most important aspect of building a great business, and having a high-performing body.

I’m not trying to be Mr. Universe, but I want to stay in shape.

I’m a normal human being. I don’t have any desire to change my body as a result of having had two kids. That’s a good thing, isn’t it?

Our body is a vessel of corruption; it is meant for death and for the worms, nothing more! And yet we devote ourselves to satisfying it, rather than to enriching our soul, which is so great that we can conceive nothing greater – no, nothing, nothing!

Just as you maintain your home, your car, your garden, you should look after your greatest gift: your body.

There is a world up ahead where people are not targeted for beliefs or bodies, where peace isn’t a fantasy but reality. Build the world you hope your children will see.
