“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 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.

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.

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

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.

Feeling more comfortable onstage is something I’ve worked on – it’s really about just being the artist I am.

It took time to really build myself a reputation as a good live performer, a musician and an artist.

Some of you are doomed to be artists.

What people don’t understand is that how you are as an artist depends on how you are emotionally.

It makes me sad when I see artists who come alive when they go onstage, because, gee, I really come alive when I’m home.

Be your own artist, and always be confident in what you’re doing. If you’re not going to be confident, you might as well not be doing it.

You can tell an honest artist from one who’s just given all their songs.

I love my body. I’m very much OK with it. I don’t think artists are ever the ones who have the problem with their weight, it is other people.
