These posts offer a hilarious insight into Jin’s personality and his culinary journey.
2. Suga’s “All I Do Is Win”
Back in 2011, two years before BTS debuted, Suga created a track titled “All I Do Is Win.” This song is significant because it’s potentially the first time BTS was mentioned in a song. It showcases Suga’s early aspirations and his journey before becoming a global icon.

About a year before their official debut, some BTS members made cameo appearances in Jo Kwon’s ‘I’m Da One’ music video. Fans can spot Jungkook, J-Hope, Jin, V, and even Suga in the video, offering a glimpse of their pre-debut days and appearances.
4. Their very first English song (It’s not “Dynamite!”)

5. BigHit’s sassy remarks at MBC’s camerawork
In 2014, BTS performed an impressive intro at an MBC Festival, but the broadcast’s camera angles missed crucial moments.
