The formation of BTS boy group started from the meeting of its members, which is quite interesting to explore. First, there is Kim Namjoon or RM who also holds the position as the leader. RM himself began to be interested in the music world, especially rap, after hearing a rap song titled Fly by Epik High. From there, RM started to join popular rappers, including Supreme Boi, a producer from Big Hit Entertainment. Eventually, RM auditioned at Big Hit Entertainment and became the first member of BTS.

Next is Suga, who joined Big Hit Entertainment after auditioning privately through a promotion called Hit It. He passed the audition and joined BTS in 2010.

Meanwhile, J-Hope or Jung Hoseok, who is talented in dance, joined Big Hit Entertainment through an audition. His talent led him to pass the audition and become a trainee at the agency. Next to join was Kim Seokjin or Jin, who originally joined the Big Hit Entertainment agency after being directly casted by the agency staff.

Initially, Jin was interested in acting, but he ended up auditioning for singing and dancing. Despite having no experience, Jin eventually passed as a trainee and joined BTS. The maknae of the group, Jungkook, then joined Big Hit Entertainment. Although Jungkook received offers from various big agencies, he ultimately chose Big Hit Entertainment. According to koreaboo, the reason for this was because he really wanted to join RM, who has an amazing rap ability. Finally, Jungkook became a member of BTS along with the group leader.

Afterwards, V or Kim Tae Hyung accidentally joined the agency. Because in the past, V only wanted to support his friend to audition at Big Hit Entertainment, but V ended up receiving an audition offer as well. Eventually, he passed the audition and became a member of BTS. Lastly, there's Jimin, who joined the agency based on his school teacher's advice. His talent in dancing led him to pass the audition and join BTS.
