The advice BTS has been carrying for 11 years

BTS is one of the biggest k-pop groups in history! So much so that, composed of RM, Jin, Jimin, V, Jungkook, J-Hope It is Sucksthe BIGHIT Music formation has accumulated several hits such as “Butter”, “Dynamite” and “Boy With Love”, in addition to records that entered the Guinness World Records, such as in 2023, when they became the holders of the largest number of tickets sold for a live-streamed concert.

With a legion of fans, called ARMY, which, in addition to the group’s own talent, is what makes it possible for all these feats to be achieved, BTS remains relevant in the music world even after more than a decade since releasing their first mini-album “2 Cool 4 Skool”, which premiered on music streaming platforms on June 13, 2013.

Even though success has accompanied them for more than 11 years, there is a piece of advice, given in the year of the group’s debut, that ARMY believes BTS has kept since the beginning of their journey in the South Korean music industry, as it was followed to the letter by the septet.

It turns out that the reality show American Hustle Life, launched in 2024 by Mnet to follow a day of BTS in Los Angeles, United States, with a hip-hop tutor and carrying out different missions, featured in one of the episodes the boys delivering meals to the less fortunate.

In this chapter, as reported by the Koreaboo portal, in gratitude for the action, a man gave BTS some valuable advice. He said:

Be true to yourself and be true to your heart. Be who you are. Don’t be like other groups. Be who you are, straight from your soul, straight from what’s in you,” he began. “Why are you an artist? What drew you to art? Be that and be true to what drew you to it.” [para a arte] and you will be good at everything you do.”

He concludes: “Never lose who you are. Be true to your heart.” Remember the moment!

“From American Hustle, you can tell that the advice given by homeless men was taken to heart by our boys…they still live their lives humble and true to themselves….I love the show so much,” one user wrote.

“Do you remember that episode from American fast-paced life when a homeless man told BTS “never lose who you are, know who you are” and they actually took the advice to heart, look where BTS is now,” recalled another user on X.
