"Like if we sing suddenly in full English, and change most of these different issues, then that’s not BTS. We’ll do the whole thing, we’ll try.

“My English trainer was the sitcom Friends,” he shared. “Back in the days when I used to be 15 or 14, it was reasonably a syndrome for the entire Korean folks to make their kids watch Friends. I thought I used to be kinda a victim on the time, but right now I’m the fortunate one.” He added, “Thanks to my mom, she bought all the seasons of DVDs… so at the start I watched with the Korean subtitle, next time with the English subtitle, then I simply removed it.” 

BTS continues to make strides in the track trade and just lately was the first-ever Korean musical guests at the notorious Saturday Night Live.
