In recent days, BTS is back with its latest album 'LOVE YOURSELF 轉 Tear' and mesmerizes the world.
Although the group has become one of the most influential artists in the world, the members of BTS had days of struggles and pain.
JUNGKOOK, the youngest member of the group, debuted when he was 17 in Korean age, and his story of struggles especially garners attention from the public.

Though he could not pass the audition from Mnet's 'Super Star K Season 3', JUNGKOOK was recruited by various agencies.
At that time, JUNGKOOK met the member RM, a trainee of BTS' current agency Big Hit Entertainment.
Impressed by RM's amazing rapping, JUNGKOOK decided to be a trainee of the company.

With producer Bang Shi-hyuk's help, JUNGKOOK headed to America to get a training for a month, and he could learn various styles of dance moves from renowned dancers.


Because his interest in dance had incomparably grown, JUNGKOOK told his members that he would want to go back to America and become a professional dancer.
JIMIN, who was a high school student at that time, reportedly persuaded JUNGKOOK to make debut as a member of BTS together.

JIMIN's cute way of convincing JUNGKOOK impressed the public.
