The fact that people from BTS’ past speak so fondly of them speak volumes of BTS’s characters. Thanks Jihoon and friend for sharing. All the best for your future
thank you, korea now, for this insightful interview into the lives of two former bts trainees. jihwan and jihoon are such well-mannered and gracious fellows despite the setback of not becoming idols. i hope they realize that, just like bts, they are both very special in their own way. i wish jihwan and jihoon the best.
After listening to them, BigHit was really different. Their trainees supported one another. I was so glad to hear that from these 2 former trainees. They are level-headed too. I hope that they will flourish more in their current career, and hopefully, they also get to see BTS and reminisce those "good old trainee" days. 😊
You know, in life we can't always have everything. Although BTS members have notoriety and success and all the materialistic things one can buy- they don't have the pleasures of living all the joys of life (love, marriage, gf, establishing a family, coming home to a filled home) which is something both of these hard working humble men have. They get to live their lives as normies which is probably something BTS members secretly wish to obtain (even as a goal). Everything is sacrifice. Although they are not BTS members, they are destined to be something incredible in another field. Sometimes we have to be grateful and content in the path we walk in or people chose for us to walk in. You never know if these two men would have ended up becoming BTS members and would succumbed to the "disastrous pleasures" the industry offers like sex, scandal, abuse, drugs/alcohol, and even suicide. We always need to be grateful for those delays and the process that naturally takes on in our life because you never know how the future outcome can be- it can be a downfall. These two are destined for something else. Also there is nothing to be embarrassed or shamed about. I'm grateful for them speaking out on a sensitive topic. One can learn from them. My heart goes to all the trainees that didn't make it. Your destined for something even greater, you just don't know it yet! ♥️
“You have to keep upgrading yourself and prove that”. That sentence alone shows Big Hit’s philosophy and how the BTS members keeps on getting better and better. 💜.
@@silviaac9289Don't we all strive to get better at what we do it's a natural thing to do otherwise we stagnate. I'm always looking/thinking now I know how to improve on something I've done previously and I'm always looking forward thinking how can I make this is even better. What more can I learn how much further can I push the envolope on this or that. It's all about continuing to grow no matter what age you are. Tiny steps or huge leaps we should always be moving forward rather than resting on our laurels. However I do think it can put to much on ourselves and other's to always improve in too bigger steps so we can burn out.
@@silviaac9289 there’s no denying that it was stressful for the members. But remember they also have the drive to push themselves that way and prove themselves to their fans and haters. As we all know they had their tough times, but they are also enjoying now the fruit of their labors.
Everytime I see Jihoon do an interview about his trainee days with BTS I get such good vibes from him. You can tell he's genuinely proud and happy for them. I hope he's happy no matter what he's doing
I hope these former trainees get their wish of getting together with the other former trainees to remember the old times and reconnect. It would be so cool to film that re-union and have BTS drop in on them as a surprise.
Like Suga always says Jungkook definitely is a genius artist from an early years cos what these two are testifying is before they even debut. Wah Jk, You really is one of a kind.
@@user-uu3yj7xn5q RM is highly intellectual with IQ of 148. He’s also a musical genius with 187 song credits to his name. Suga is also a musical genius with 127 credits to his name. (I might be a little off with the credit numbers.) Suga said Jung Kook is a genius not only once but twice that I watched him say on videos. I think Suga doesn’t mean intellectual genius like RM or Albert Einstein but musical genius. At 15 he was given the official title of Main Vocal. Main vocal does the most difficult part of a song. He does ad libs, chorus and guide. He can also rap. When RM was injured, JK did RM’s rap part. He did the same when Suga was sick. When he was 14 , 7 Entertainment Companies wanted him to audition for them. He chose to join a small less known entertainment company Big Hit. Why , because he thought RM is cool. Even at a young age, he was smart enough to recognize RM’s talent. BTS is made up of 7 multitalented individuals.
I don’t think JK is just a musical genius. JK is super talented and everyone who met, trained and worked with him, recognized this. And it is not just musical. His ability to learn and adapt are some of his exceptional qualities. And with hard work, you know he could go very very far. He is just above average in everything he does. That is not many like him.
For BTS it was meant to be, it was fate that brought them all together, it was written in the stars. But thank you for your praise of BTS, you have spoken so highly about them, it does take a lot to succeed, if you keep determined and work hard. I wish all the best for you ❤️
@@ritarossi1805 Are you asking if BTS and the 2 very nice young men is the video are from South Korea or North Korea? If so the answer is they are all South Korean. As far a I'm aware North Korean's aren't allowed to even leave North Korea because their despot of a dictator will not allow people even visit other countries.
@@eileencritchley4630 thanks. NK isn't american puppet.?? America gifted to NK 600.000 tons of bombs...bombs only hurt those Who received them...and america- Is Always far far away.... NK Is poor due to american embargoes and sanctions. True or false???
@@ritarossi1805 The USA would never give Nuclear bombs to North Korea. They don't get on at all North Korea has threatened to use it's nuclear bombs against the USA. North Korea is poor because it's dictator used North Korean money to make nuclear bombs and shut it's borders to the rest of the world. As far as I know no country has embargoes against North Korea. It is North Korea that has shut itself away from the rest of the world. I'm not an American. Do you know nothing about Marshal Kim Jong U the dictator who rules North Korea and doesn't allow anyone inside North Korea and will not allow North Koreans to leave North Korea?
@@eileencritchley4630North Korea doesn't allow Americans or journalists to visit but they do have tourism, you just have handlers & very strict rules to follow. The upper echelons of NK society are sometimes allowed out of the country but they always have handlers. If you're not Kim Jong un's elite not only can you never leave the country, you're not allowed to visit other NK provinces without special government passes. People have escaped & defected it's just not easy & very dangerous, especially since the pandemic It's crazy. But did you know Kim Jong un did allow some south Korean performers in, including the kpop girl group red velvet? This was in 2019 & only the elite could go. It was so bizarre (you can find it on TH-cam, note the difference between nk crowd & sk crowd lol, it's nuts) 💜
They seem like mature, pleasant, and personable men. No bitterness at all and they give encouragement and accolades where it is due. They are realistic about their "talents" while being trainees. Some trainees never make it. Facts of life. BigHit/Hybe should hire them as a vocal trainer and physical exercise trainer.
Sounds like they've built very fond memories with each other. What a privilege to be part of Bangtan's early days, witnessing their talents and characters growing.
These 2 men are very talented and pure hearted.Even though I’m sure they will have regret but still they extremely supportive.I wish these 2 men all the success ❤
@@BTSISMYHAPPYPLACE4VER I totally agree with you. I'll delete my comment coz not nice to bring a negative vibe to this heartwarming video. I made that comment coz I was quite disappointed after reading many negative comments on two videos posted by a channel Daud Kim.
because of this we know that every BTS member always nice to other trainee and support each other since day 1 😭 thanks KoreaNow for this interview and Jihoon+Jihwan hyung all the best wishes for your bright future!!!
I cant help but noticed I don't know why I love that everyone call Jin as Seokjin Hyung, he is really their lovely hyung, so lucky to met, be a friend and be a brother of him, hang out and work even with him, not to mention has great, talented and handsome hyung like him. Cant blame Yoongi love his only hyung in bts family, Jin so much. Both was roommate when they lived together and now neighbor just need 5 minutes to walk to each other house💜
So touching.. I am ao Proud of them and to what they have become and so Proud to be An Army for our Bangtan Sonyeondan .so excited for 2025 .APOBANGPO 💜💜💜💜
I’m so glad this two former BTS trainees speaks how BTS are so successful and speaks highly about their former friends. Salute to both of you. Yes BTS will forever remain until forever. ❤
Thank you so much Seo Jian for the part 2 of this amazing video. I really enjoyed listening to the very lovely Kim Jihoon and Hwang Ji-hwan and their past experiences as trainees. They both are such sweethearts and I absolutely loved how fondly they talked about the BTS members. They both are incredibly talented and I’m so chuffed that they both found careers that they are settled and happy in☺️. They both seem like the most sweetest and adorable people and I hope they will get to reunite with other trainees and possibly BTS members for a meal and drink.🥰 They are so cute and very beautiful people. I really loved their beautiful and heartfelt messages to Bang Si-hyuk and the BTS members as well.😊. Thank you so much for giving us army’s an insight of how it was being a trainee and sharing your special stories with us too. We wish you both the very best for the future and we hope maybe Hwang Ji-hwan can become a vocal trainer and work for the Hybe company one day🤗. We army’s really respect and are so proud of both of you. Well done for everything.💜🫶🏻💜
They are soo humble and they spoke so fondly about BTS and about their time as trainees...i hope jihoon's dream of reunion comes true....love from amii💜💜
I would think they learnt a lot of things from their time at BigHit that helped them do what they are doing now. Taking things they learnt and applying some of those things to what they now do and how they carry themselves.
I hope they can all get together again after enlistment to that. It would be a beautiful bookend to their friendship. 🙏💜 Edit: and yes, please hire Jihwang as BH vocal coach, Producer Bang! He understands the rigor and risks involved. He could take trainees to their next level!
I sincerely hope that both of them can reunited again together after BTS finish their military service, along with other BTS trainees. It will be a happy reunion 🥲🥲
There is US interview asked why BTS only have 7 member and i still remembers that RM answered from 40 trainess they all left and only 7 members stayed... June 13, 2013 actually it's belong to another group who should debut (until now we don't know which agency should debuted the group) and because no one trainess know when they debuted one by one left bighit for better future
I DON'T KNOW IF SOME HAVE NOTICED OR NOT BUT THESE TWO TALK IN A WAY JUST LIKE BTS. THEY LISTEN TO EACH OTHER THEY LET OTHERS TELL THEIR POINT THEY LISTEN CAREFULLY.
That's why I'm not a fan of gathering 40-50 trainees and just picking few, pick the few you need and train them, instead of all the emotional damage. What about their mental, emotional, societal and physical wellbeing. When ever I hear this type of stories my respect goes up to all idol trainees
I don't agree, in the long run you see who is capable of handling the training and idol life, and who can achieve more with their abilities, is not something you know from the first meeting, or that can be achieved only with faith and wish to be famous. It's literally like any other working environment, you go through a first interview, if they pick you then (usually) there is a proof period, and if you do well they hire you long term. Same here but their work is getting better and the pay come later. In any case the choice is in the people to decide to become a trainee (and their families) knowing how the system is, they can always choose to leave but we all know that to have good results you need to work hard, and not many are capable or suitable for it (edit: this is of course leaving aside every injustice inside the industry and exploitation :))
Didnt taehyung mentioned before about bighit planned a ballad group. BTS was supposed to be rapper/hiphop group. And Taehyung was supposed to be in a ballad group 😦
I feel so sad when you stop trainee, i couldn't imagine how you felt that time.but you pulled yourself moving forward.. hope you have brilliant and bright life now and future.
It's so tough to pass the training and debut as an idol with the people who have similar dreams and inspirations like you. I can't elaborate how proud i feel that Bighit chose the best 7 people who are bot only immensely talented but fit each other like puzzle pieces to create a beautiful picture. Most importantly, these 7 people so different from each other in nature, behaviour and ofc musically ( as you all know all their solos are slay) but still come together to form a rainbow. I want to ask Bang PD how he came across such people who love each other without bounds. Just pure love! Bighit's approach of selecting best people was very honest and I'm so happy that they really found the real gems through their honesty unlike the companies these days who just go for visuals and no talent. Also, props to these guys for being immensely transparent in the interview. I hope they get to meet Bangtan especially Jihoon with the rapline and have a nice talk about old days as he wishes. If he misses his old friends, i would request universe to make this happen atleast once. I have seen his other videos too and he genuinely loves his trainee friends and he holds an immense pride that he once trained together with them. I will be happy to see him reunite with whole Bangtan.
This was a great interview. I love how they are supportive and happy for BTS. It couldn't have been easy to be eliminated after working so hard but they are still gracious and thankful for their experience. I wish them both well in life and I do hope that they will be able to have a reunion with BTS.
Thank you for the loving messages to BTS at the end 💜 i sincerely wish you all the best for your dreams in life, and may you soon meet together with all the former trainees and have delicious dinner and a drink together 🙏😊💜
Чонгук недосягаемый и самый талантливый артист ❤ он такой многогранный и универсальный ❤ещё в 15 лет он был способным и гениальным ведь только Гук имеет 4 позиции. Я удивлена что Бан.Ш в таком стеснительном интроверте смог разглядеть гениального артиста. Он лучший и самый ДРАГОЦЕННЫЙ БРИЛЛИАНТ ❤
Such humble men! Thank you for sharing your stories! @KoreaNow What is the translation that j-hope was “kicked out” before? He wasn’t kicked out, he left the company for a while. That’s two different things. He is usually at the top of the trainees performance rating every month so it’s impossible he will be kicked out 😑
really admired these two former trainees 💜 i pray nothing but the best for both of you! you both are really talented so dont give up because i believe with that talent, mindset and attitude, you both really can go far! fighting! im sure BTS member miss you guys a lot too! hope one day you guys can have gathering
It says a lot that both Jihoon and Jihwan have only ever had good things to say about BTS.. It's rare that trainees speak well of their trainee days coz those are tough times. I think it is a testament to the Tannies' character and compassion.. I remember Jihoon once said that Namjoon would tell the trainees to support each other regardless of who makes the debut team. With such a mentality of teamwork, collaboration and supportiveness, it's no wonder that they all nurtured each other, unlike the bullying stories we often hear from other trainees. They could weather the difficulties and challenges of training because they were trying their best to improve together. At the end of the day, I believe the Tannies were fated to be together in some way. I wish Jihoon and Jihwan the very best.. Hoping they find fulfilment and happiness in their lives. I admire their strength and goodwill coz it truly isn't easy to keep such a positive mindset in such situations. It's truly admirable.
I hope someday the members meet you again, your hearts share a connection. They likely carry guilt over the people they had to say goodbye to, what a difficult situation for all of you young people to have gone through. But you are all adults now, time can soften these edges. I hope beautiful futures for you both, I hope you do not feel you live in the shadow of their stardom. You have your own lights. love from Chicago. PS you are very handsome!
@@weakanklesfornamjoon not that I know of. I think they’re trying to get away from some of the more corporate-tailored stuff. But if one develops organically from the fans I’m thinking they wouldn’t mind .. lol I just walk around saying “b*tch I’m a frog” 😏 🐸
I am continuously preying to god 🙏🙏🙏 please give them more happiness and prosperity and oneday hybe will hire ,and they become successful and reunion with BTS friends 🙏🙏 god please complete their dream 😢😢😢😢😢😢i don't know these two beautiful soul smile but my tear can't stop 😢😢,
Whether they left as trainees or remained as BTS, I am left feeling that they're all good people. I wonder if that wasn't a selection criterion for Big Hit trainees! 😄😄😄
thank you both for sharing your experiences, i really hope one day you guys get to meet up with all the other former trainees as well as bts, it’d be amazing if you met again !
Чонгук действительно Гений, но и большой трудяга, через какие трудности и испытания ему пришлось пройтити и сколько сил и упорства он в это вложил, чтобы к 26 годам достичь таких успехов. Вперёд и только вперёд, обожаю Чонгука!!!
Some naive young minds think, "well if I practice hard enough, I can be as good as BTS" or "JungKook" ........................I don't want to dampen anyone's hopes but the guys in BTS and specifically JungKook, only come once in a lifetime. No matter how hard one practice, unless you have a certain amount of natural talent one is born with, the max potential you reach will never be as good as the max potential reached by people like BTS, Michael Jackson, Micael Jordan, Beatles, Elvis Presly, etc. By practicing and putting in hard work, one can become much better than they were at the start of their journey but in vast majority of cases it's still not good enough to become the world's best at something. People who are incredibly good at what they do are born with natural talent and also work hard. And that is when you get people like Michael Jordan, Elvis Presly, Michael Jackson and BTS.
You guys are awesome as well....stay positive and best wishes for your future...and really thanks for supporting our boys bts and for being respectful to them....
Que hermosa entrevista! It's great to know how those guys remember all members of BTS! The best wishes for them and thanks a lot for sharing with us your feelings and experience with BTS.
I wish them all the best, really nice and genuine guys. I'm glad their experience with Big Hit and BTS was good and that they're doing great in their own fields. Great interview. BTS would be proud of them too.
THIS IS THE STORY OF MANY TRANIES NO MATTER WHAT IT IS AFTER HAVING THAT KIND OF HARD WORK IT REALLY HURTS AND MORE OVER IT HURTS LIFE TIME WHEN YOU HAVE SHATTERED DREAMS IN YOUR HEART.
the best for Jihoon and Jihan!!!!! may you guys be very happy, healthy and content!! thank you for having been and staying as kind. Hoping Bang Si Hyuk calls Jihan lol
it was such a great episode, I enjoyed listening to BTS back stories a lot they are very hardworking people, they always made us proud of them thank you for sharing your stories with us and I wish you the best luck in your own paths 💜
Wow !!! I wish them to have a happy life ! They are so respectful and proud .. I hope they can be reunited for a meal and drinks at least 1 time .. 🙏💜😊
I sense that Jihwan seems more relax like he's already let go of the past and looking forward for better days while Jihoon is still holding on to past because what Jihwan lost is opportunity to become a pop star while Jihoon lost the same opportunity, friends and a part of himself...
Curious that this subject is brought up again. To build up Jungkook in advance of his solo album in November. That guy was interviewed before and he never volunteered this. Curioser and curioser.
Got to really give credit to Bang PD & whoev else in Big Hit who had anything to do with the final selection. They cud tell the 7 were somehow unique & extraordinary special.
So thanks to the rap line for creating a friendly environment. RM the leader. Jhope the second leader and most likely Suga we can say the silent leader🤫🤭💜
Jimin almost didn’t make it due to his looks. (Crazy because he always looked amazing) But his talent was extraordinary that they couldn’t reject him. I’m happy they choose Jimin. But sorry for these guys
I was gonna comment about her makeup, especially the nose contour. there are angles where the contour lines are not noticeable like when the light is glaring, but most of the time you can see that it was not blended lol maybe the makeup artist forgot.

Bts는 굉장히 재능있는 사람들로 이루어진 그룹이었다
They are soo humble and they spoke so fondly about BTS and about their time as trainees...i hope jihoon's dream of reunion comes true....love from amii💜💜
I would think they learnt a lot of things from their time at BigHit that helped them do what they are doing now. Taking things they learnt and applying some of those things to what they now do and how they carry themselves.
I hope they can all get together again after enlistment to that. It would be a beautiful bookend to their friendship. 🙏💜
Edit: and yes, please hire Jihwang as BH vocal coach, Producer Bang! He understands the rigor and risks involved. He could take trainees to their next level!
this speaks to how good Hybe was by giving them a great atmosphere i am happy they chose the members they did i can´t imagine BTS without any of them
I sincerely hope that both of them can reunited again together after BTS finish their military service, along with other BTS trainees. It will be a happy reunion 🥲🥲
정국이 재능은 정말 타고났나보다 중학생 정국이가 천재로 보일만큼 실력이 뛰어났나보다
There is US interview asked why BTS only have 7 member and i still remembers that RM answered from 40 trainess they all left and only 7 members stayed...
June 13, 2013 actually it's belong to another group who should debut (until now we don't know which agency should debuted the group) and because no one trainess know when they debuted one by one left bighit for better future
These guys work hard and are so talented and gracious ! Wish them health and all the very best! 🥰🌼🌼🌼
I DON'T KNOW IF SOME HAVE NOTICED OR NOT BUT THESE TWO TALK IN A WAY JUST LIKE BTS. THEY LISTEN TO EACH OTHER THEY LET OTHERS TELL THEIR POINT THEY LISTEN CAREFULLY.
Yes, very well brought up young men.
It goes to show that its not about winning or losing, but about doing the most with the opportunities given to you.
That's why I'm not a fan of gathering 40-50 trainees and just picking few, pick the few you need and train them, instead of all the emotional damage. What about their mental, emotional, societal and physical wellbeing. When ever I hear this type of stories my respect goes up to all idol trainees
I don't agree, in the long run you see who is capable of handling the training and idol life, and who can achieve more with their abilities, is not something you know from the first meeting, or that can be achieved only with faith and wish to be famous. It's literally like any other working environment, you go through a first interview, if they pick you then (usually) there is a proof period, and if you do well they hire you long term. Same here but their work is getting better and the pay come later. In any case the choice is in the people to decide to become a trainee (and their families) knowing how the system is, they can always choose to leave but we all know that to have good results you need to work hard, and not many are capable or suitable for it (edit: this is of course leaving aside every injustice inside the industry and exploitation :))
I mean - they all volunteered, nobody forced them to be there. One shot is better than no shot at all
Didnt taehyung mentioned before about bighit planned a ballad group. BTS was supposed to be rapper/hiphop group. And Taehyung was supposed to be in a ballad group 😦
I feel so sad when you stop trainee, i couldn't imagine how you felt that time.but you pulled yourself moving forward.. hope you have brilliant and bright life now and future.
그대들도 대단하고,
인성이 빛나네요.
잘지내길 바라요
It's so tough to pass the training and debut as an idol with the people who have similar dreams and inspirations like you. I can't elaborate how proud i feel that Bighit chose the best 7 people who are bot only immensely talented but fit each other like puzzle pieces to create a beautiful picture. Most importantly, these 7 people so different from each other in nature, behaviour and ofc musically ( as you all know all their solos are slay) but still come together to form a rainbow.
I want to ask Bang PD how he came across such people who love each other without bounds. Just pure love!
Bighit's approach of selecting best people was very honest and I'm so happy that they really found the real gems through their honesty unlike the companies these days who just go for visuals and no talent.
Also, props to these guys for being immensely transparent in the interview. I hope they get to meet Bangtan especially Jihoon with the rapline and have a nice talk about old days as he wishes.
If he misses his old friends, i would request universe to make this happen atleast once. I have seen his other videos too and he genuinely loves his trainee friends and he holds an immense pride that he once trained together with them. I will be happy to see him reunite with whole Bangtan.
This was a great interview. I love how they are supportive and happy for BTS. It couldn't have been easy to be eliminated after working so hard but they are still gracious and thankful for their experience. I wish them both well in life and I do hope that they will be able to have a reunion with BTS.
Confirmed by former co-trainee: Jungkook is a genius, a multi-talented person even at such a young age. That’s my bias right there! 💜
Thank you for the loving messages to BTS at the end 💜 i sincerely wish you all the best for your dreams in life, and may you soon meet together with all the former trainees and have delicious dinner and a drink together 🙏😊💜
Чонгук недосягаемый и самый талантливый артист ❤ он такой многогранный и универсальный ❤ещё в 15 лет он был способным и гениальным ведь только Гук имеет 4 позиции. Я удивлена что Бан.Ш в таком стеснительном интроверте смог разглядеть гениального артиста. Он лучший и самый ДРАГОЦЕННЫЙ БРИЛЛИАНТ ❤
정국이는 형들의 양보,희생으로
특혜를 좀 더받고 산 멤버
Such humble men! Thank you for sharing your stories!
@KoreaNow
What is the translation that j-hope was “kicked out” before? He wasn’t kicked out, he left the company for a while.
That’s two different things. He is usually at the top of the trainees performance rating every month so it’s impossible he will be kicked out 😑
Ya was just very poor translation.
really admired these two former trainees 💜 i pray nothing but the best for both of you! you both are really talented so dont give up because i believe with that talent, mindset and attitude, you both really can go far! fighting!
im sure BTS member miss you guys a lot too! hope one day you guys can have gathering
It says a lot that both Jihoon and Jihwan have only ever had good things to say about BTS.. It's rare that trainees speak well of their trainee days coz those are tough times. I think it is a testament to the Tannies' character and compassion.. I remember Jihoon once said that Namjoon would tell the trainees to support each other regardless of who makes the debut team. With such a mentality of teamwork, collaboration and supportiveness, it's no wonder that they all nurtured each other, unlike the bullying stories we often hear from other trainees. They could weather the difficulties and challenges of training because they were trying their best to improve together. At the end of the day, I believe the Tannies were fated to be together in some way.
I wish Jihoon and Jihwan the very best.. Hoping they find fulfilment and happiness in their lives. I admire their strength and goodwill coz it truly isn't easy to keep such a positive mindset in such situations. It's truly admirable.
i hope one day they get a chance to talk and bond with bangtan. ❤
bighit is really a different agency, outstanding from the rest.I am glad they have instilled a positive attitudes from these kids back then
I hope someday the members meet you again, your hearts share a connection. They likely carry guilt over the people they had to say goodbye to, what a difficult situation for all of you young people to have gone through. But you are all adults now, time can soften these edges. I hope beautiful futures for you both, I hope you do not feel you live in the shadow of their stardom. You have your own lights. love from Chicago. PS you are very handsome!
Hey fellow Balming Tiger fan! Do they have a fandom name btw??
@@weakanklesfornamjoon not that I know of. I think they’re trying to get away from some of the more corporate-tailored stuff. But if one develops organically from the fans I’m thinking they wouldn’t mind .. lol I just walk around saying “b*tch I’m a frog” 😏 🐸
I am continuously preying to god 🙏🙏🙏 please give them more happiness and prosperity and oneday hybe will hire ,and they become successful and reunion with BTS friends 🙏🙏 god please complete their dream 😢😢😢😢😢😢i don't know these two beautiful soul smile but my tear can't stop 😢😢,
Great interview and two lovely modest guys. Thanks to all and good luck for the future. 😊
Whether they left as trainees or remained as BTS, I am left feeling that they're all good people. I wonder if that wasn't a selection criterion for Big Hit trainees! 😄😄😄
thank you both for sharing your experiences, i really hope one day you guys get to meet up with all the other former trainees as well as bts, it’d be amazing if you met again !
Чонгук действительно Гений, но и большой трудяга, через какие трудности и испытания ему пришлось пройтити и сколько сил и упорства он в это вложил, чтобы к 26 годам достичь таких успехов. Вперёд и только вперёд, обожаю Чонгука!!!
JUNGKOOK MERECE MUITO AMOR E CARINHO ❤❤
Im so happy for your happiness and doing well, Jihoon and Jihwhan 😊
invite them to suchwita pleaseeeee...
and the aunty from the restaurant
Yoongi is starting enlistment on the 22nd though...
we’ll have to wait but yessss great idea 💜
Great interview! Thank you!
They both seem so nice. You can tell they would have fit into BTS easily from a personality standpoint.
Yes they seem so nice and humble
Nice interview. Love hearing their perspectives and experiences in the idol world.
Some naive young minds think, "well if I practice hard enough, I can be as good as BTS" or "JungKook" ........................I don't want to dampen anyone's hopes but the guys in BTS and specifically JungKook, only come once in a lifetime. No matter how hard one practice, unless you have a certain amount of natural talent one is born with, the max potential you reach will never be as good as the max potential reached by people like BTS, Michael Jackson, Micael Jordan, Beatles, Elvis Presly, etc. By practicing and putting in hard work, one can become much better than they were at the start of their journey but in vast majority of cases it's still not good enough to become the world's best at something. People who are incredibly good at what they do are born with natural talent and also work hard. And that is when you get people like Michael Jordan, Elvis Presly, Michael Jackson and BTS.
To Jihoon, wishing with all my heart that you see and share a meal with BTS again. I'm sure their fond trainee memories include you.
You guys are awesome as well....stay positive and best wishes for your future...and really thanks for supporting our boys bts and for being respectful to them....
Jihoon-ssi and Ji Hwan-ssi, fighting to you too! 💪🏼🫶🏼💜
Everyone says JungKook is a Genious ...even BTS members keep saying Jungkook is different
Que hermosa entrevista! It's great to know how those guys remember all members of BTS! The best wishes for them and thanks a lot for sharing with us your feelings and experience with BTS.
What an amazing young men! I hope you guys find your happiness and peace in this life
I wish them all the best, really nice and genuine guys. I'm glad their experience with Big Hit and BTS was good and that they're doing great in their own fields. Great interview. BTS would be proud of them too.
2 amazing men, who had an opportunity that most of us will never experience. Excited for their futures.
THIS IS THE STORY OF MANY TRANIES NO MATTER WHAT IT IS AFTER HAVING THAT KIND OF HARD WORK IT REALLY HURTS AND MORE OVER IT HURTS LIFE TIME WHEN YOU HAVE SHATTERED DREAMS IN YOUR HEART.
So excited to know BTS just renew their contract with BH and continue to go together from 2025. Love BTS so much!
the best for Jihoon and Jihan!!!!! may you guys be very happy, healthy and content!! thank you for having been and staying as kind. Hoping Bang Si Hyuk calls Jihan lol
Everytime I want to give up I remember these guys ,I don't want to look back and 😢
They are such sweet people, I wish them success and good luck for future.
it was such a great episode, I enjoyed listening to BTS back stories a lot they are very hardworking people, they always made us proud of them
thank you for sharing your stories with us and I wish you the best luck in your own paths 💜
Love this two too❤such a humble guys
Such lovely young men I'm glad they are both doing something they are enjoying.
Jihoon might be my bias now😍
All the very best for both of you guys. May Allah fulfill all your desires ameen
I love this positive comment nothing childish here
Wow !!! I wish them to have a happy life !
They are so respectful and proud ..
I hope they can be reunited for a meal and drinks at least 1 time ..
🙏💜😊
I hope Jihoon fulfills his dream to meet the members again one day, and for Jihwan to be hired by hybe!
Please hire them 💜💜💜💜
I sense that Jihwan seems more relax like he's already let go of the past and looking forward for better days while Jihoon is still holding on to past because what Jihwan lost is opportunity to become a pop star while Jihoon lost the same opportunity, friends and a part of himself...
Good interview 👍👍👍
Amazing, beautiful souls
Lets make this video reach bangsihyuk!! Lets goo!!!
Curious that this subject is brought up again. To build up Jungkook in advance of his solo album in November. That guy was interviewed before and he never volunteered this. Curioser and curioser.
💜💜💜💜💜god bless you both,
They seem lovely. Such beautiful men
one thing abt people around bts all of them mostly are good people i wish them the best in their respective fields 🎉
They fired some, most left and the last 7 are what up of BTS. All unique individuals
Got to really give credit to Bang PD & whoev else in Big Hit who had anything to do with the final selection. They cud tell the 7 were somehow unique & extraordinary special.
Believe it or not Luck, Fate ...these things have something to do with Success
Love
wow it would be nice if Jaehwan really become a bighit vocal trainer
I think its fun if Hwang Ji Hwan-ssi will be hired to bighit. 😅 The boys will be elated for sure. 😂
So thanks to the rap line for creating a friendly environment. RM the leader. Jhope the second leader and most likely Suga we can say the silent leader🤫🤭💜
❤❤
Jimin almost didn’t make it due to his looks. (Crazy because he always looked amazing) But his talent was extraordinary that they couldn’t reject him. I’m happy they choose Jimin. But sorry for these guys
Thanks to them for being part of BTS life even for a short time and being so respectful and honest. Best wishes to their good future
Please get another makeup artist for the host. She is very pretty but the makeup was unflattering and unblended.
I was gonna comment about her makeup, especially the nose contour. there are angles where the contour lines are not noticeable like when the light is glaring, but most of the time you can see that it was not blended lol maybe the makeup artist forgot.
Jungkook New song 3D is coming
