And since we know that when we love an idol, we want to know everything about them, these fun facts may be of interest to you if you consider yourself a BTS lover.
The Meaning Behind BTS Members’ Names
Each of the members of BTS has a very special personality and, unintentionally, it is exact to the meaning of their name, as if it was custom-designed just for them.
Hoseok (J-Hope)
The musician adopted the stage name J-Hope; however, Hoseok has a powerful meaning that fits perfectly with his personality. Ho is ‘tiger,’ while seok is ‘tin,’ which is interpreted as an energetic and courageous person.
Seokjin (Jin)
Jin is one of ARMY’s favorite BTS, and his stage name is short for Seokjin, which means ‘great treasure’ in English. And there’s no doubt that the meaning fits him like a glove since that’s how his fan club sees him.
Yoongi (Suga)
Suga is also a favorite within the BTS fan club. Thanks to his success, Suga is aware that along with his success came luxuries, houses, and cars, and his name is related to this, as its meaning is “grow up and live well.”
Taehyung (V)
Although he is better known as V, his real name is Taehyung, and this was given to him by his grandfather. Its meaning is ‘all will be well, even in the face of hard times.’
Jungkook
He is another BTS member who made the decision not to change his name; Jung in English means ‘straight grain’ or ‘spindle tree,’ while Kook is ‘from an intelligent or beautiful country.’ The musician himself revealed that the interpretation would be ‘the pillars of the nation.’
Namjoon (RM)
The musician decided to use the stage name RM; however, his birth name is Namjoon, and it means ‘genius of the south.’ As a fun fact: the BTS member has an IQ of 148.5.
Jimin
The musician has kept his real name within the 10 years of BTS, and its meaning in English is ‘wisdom’ or ‘to be higher than the sky,’ something that was undoubtedly a manifestation in his life after the boyband’s worldwide success.
