“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 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.

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.

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.

I am a bad, wicked man, but I am practicing moral self-purification; I don’t eat meat any more, I now eat rice cutlets.

Give us a world where half our homes are run by men and half our institutions are run by women. I’m pretty sure that would be a better world.

Women need to shift form thinking “I’m not ready to do that” to thinking “I want to do that- and I’ll learn by doing it.

When you want to change things, you won’t please everyone.

In a nation of millions and a world of billions, the individual is still the first and basic agent of change.

We need women at all levels, including the top, to change the dynamic, reshape the conversation, to make sure women’s voices are heard and heeded, not overlooked and ignored.

If I won gold in 2016, I think it would change my life.

Love is like dried flowers sometimes. Even though you watch the petals shrink and change colour, you cannot help treasuring them.
