Here’s What Each BTS Member Was Like In Their School Days

In the February 2014 edition of Potato Magazine, each of the BTS members recounted what kind of student they were during their school days. From overachievers to procrastinators, each of them had a different story when it comes to school. Check out what each member said below.

1. RM

Known for his impressive IQ of 148, RM was originally at the top of his class. However, he gave it up when he switched his focus to BTS.

When I was in middle school I was an honor student, and I was also the type of person who wanted to be class president but I got into the company and my life as a trainee started so I just went to school to sleep (laughs). Before entering the company I also had a result to be able the enter the 1st of the top of the nation, but after I fell to 2nd~3rd.

— RM

2. Jin

When it came to school, Jin considers himself a “mediocre student.” He probably had a much deeper love for video games!

I also have a dorky side but I listened well in class, I also ate well and when it ended I went straight to home. I was the so-called mediocre student.

— Jin

3. Suga

Unfortunately, Suga wasn’t present at the time of this interview. However, an episode of Mnet‘s TMI News once revealed that Suga was a diligent student that never broke a single school rule. He was also member of the student council, basketball team, and even arranged the school’s anthem with his music skills.

4. J-Hope

J-Hope was way more into pursuing and learning about dance than focusing on his studies!

In middle school, while I studied I also did my best learning how to dance! I received various awards with my performances and I remember that was also pretty famous between my friends~ (laughs).

— J-Hope

5. Jimin

Jimin’s trainee life made him super tired so he slept a lot in school.

I entered an art school in Busan! But since I became a trainee I had lessons till dawn and I slept during classes (laughs).

— Jimin

6. V

V spent all of his time eating — and he even shared an exciting tidbit about entering a Drag Competition.

When it was break time I went to take a peek of all the classrooms, I also went to buy something to eat, I was a kid who couldn’t stop for even a second. When I was in elementary school I participated in a Drag Competition (he wore female clothes) and I passed the qualification so it’d became a good memory (laughs).
