BTS' Rookie Era Moments
BTS' Jungkook’s Shy Rookie Days
During BTS’s early interviews in 2013–2014, Jungkook was famously shy. In several TV appearances, he would quietly stand behind the older members and rarely speak unless asked directly. On one variety segment, he hid behind band members Jin and RM while they answered questions, prompting the members to tease him for being the “baby” of the group. Fans later loved seeing how the quiet teenager eventually grew into one of K-pop’s most confident performers.
Jin’s Worldwide Handsome Beginnings
Jin started introducing himself as Worldwide Handsome during early interviews and fan events. At first, the members burst out laughing whenever he said it. In one memorable rookie interview, the hosts asked him to introduce himself, and he confidently said, "Hello, I’m Jin, Worldwide Handsome." The other members jokingly groaned in the background. The phrase later became one of BTS’s most iconic inside jokes and a signature Jin moment.

V quickly became known for his 4D personality, a Korean term used for someone quirky and unpredictable. During a rookie-era variety show, he randomly made funny facial expressions and started acting out imaginary scenarios mid-conversation, leaving both the members and hosts confused and laughing. His unexpected humor made him one of the group’s most entertaining personalities early on.
JHope’s Over-the-Top Reactions
JHope was famous for dramatic reactions during games and challenges. In early variety appearances, if he lost a game, he would collapse dramatically or shout in disbelief, while winning made him jump around in excitement. His loud laughter and expressive personality often turned even simple segments into hilarious moments.
RM’s Legendary “English Translator” Moments
RM, the group's fluent English speaker, often acted as BTS' translator during oerseas interviews. In one interview, the members started giving long answers in Korean, leaving RM to quickly summarise everything in English while laughing nervously. Fans admired how he balanced translating while also participating in the conversation.
Suga’s Savage Rookie Comebacks
Suga became known for his dry humour and blunt replies. When the members teased him about sleeping too much during early shows, he once joked back, "At least I’m saving energy for performing." His calm but savage one-liners often caught everyone off guard and became a fan favourite trait.
Chaotic Variety Show Games
Before launching their own show, BTS appeared on several variety programs where their competitive chaos stood out. During team games, Jimin and the others would argue playfully over rules, celebrate wildly after winning rounds, and accuse each other of cheating. The playful chaos highlighted the group’s natural chemistry and friendship.
