R.M.

As his skills as a rapper grew, R.M. became more active in the underground scene. He released more and more songs and collaborated with other underground artists such as () (who at the time called himself Nakseo).

Having become really popular among rap circles, R.M. was invited to audition for a hip-hop agency. It was there that he met Sleepy, who was a judge at the audition. Sleepy was so impressed with the rap skills RM that I saved his phone number and passed it on to the producer Ban Shiheku.

Suga

Min Yoongi or better known by his pseudonym, was born in the city of Daegu and was active on the underground scene not only as a rapper, but also as a producer. He began his career under the pseudonym Gloss also in high school and became quite successful.

It wasn't just his rapping that attracted attention. Suga began to assert himself as a producer, composing beats for local artists in his hometown Daegu, mainly for a group called D-TOWN.

More and more people noticed his skills, and he even released tracks for famous underground figures. One of his most successful songs was the track he created for Reflow entitled "Who am i/Who am I".

Wanting to take my music to the next level, Suga decided to participate in the audition for BigHit Entertainment. He saw flyers promoting a rap competition/audition called "Hit It" and thought it would be a good fit for him. Even though he didn't win the competition, Suga placed 2nd and joined BigHit Entertainment as a producer/trainee.

It is believed that Suga wanted to just be a producer in the agency, but he was convinced to join BTS in 2010 year. To this day Suga jokes that Bang Sihek tricked him insidiously and forced him to become part of the group.

Gin

Kim Seokjin, or , became the fourth member to join BTS. But he had a completely different casting experience than the other contestants. Initially Gin was caught on the street by a manager from SM Entertainment. Then he decided that they were scammers and refused their offer.

When he was already a college student, he met the agency manager again. This time, a representative of BigHit Entertainment saw Gina, as he got off the bus, and convinced him to audition for BigHit.

U Gina I had no experience in either singing or dancing. Since he was studying acting, Gin and auditioned as an actor. However, BigHit Entertainment had other plans for him, and he became a trainee BTS. Gin achieved an excellent level of song performance thanks to incredible diligence and perseverance.

During the internship Gin also starred in the video Jo Kwon"I'm Da One", as a butler/bodyguard. Because of his appearance, he participated as an actor rather than as a dancer.

Jungkook received invitations from seven different entertainment agencies. These agencies included JYP Entertainment, FNC Entertainment and Starship Entertainment. From all agencies Jungkook chose to work with BigHit Entertainment.

The reason he chose BigHit (which was a small and unknown company at the time) was because he was so impressed R.M. and his rap skills. He wanted to be in the same company with RM and debut with him.

During the internship Jungkook often acted as a backup dancer for BigHit Entertainment artists. He was spotted performing GLAM with the song “Glamorous”, as well as “I’m Da One” Jo Kwon.

Suga took the alias Agust D in 2016. Under this pseudonym, he published a free mixtape on SoundCloud on August 15.
