When talking about BTS, the number 7 is always a symbolic number because it represents the 7 members. However, that doesn't mean that there aren't interesting theories about an 8th member. Even over the years, theories about an invisible 8th member suggests that BTS often leaves a gap large enough for others to fill in. ARMYs also often joke about having many options for the 8th member of the group.
In particular, since BTS enlisted, many ARMYs have been trying to find the 8th member of the group - someone who does not have to perform military service. It even became a topic of great interest among fandom and spread on social networks. Soon after, a кσяєαn celebrity came into the sights of ARMYs when he himself announced that he had been a member of the group in the past.
In the topic, fans mentioned famous actor Kim Seon Ho, whose popularity spread thanks to the drama Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha. His "surprising" past identity was revealed in a scene from another movie.
Specifically, in Welcome to Waikiki 2, his character explained that he was a musician who worked with BTS. He said: "I’m a singer, a musician. And a little while ago, even BTS called me to ask me to feature in one of their songs. I used to perform with those guys back in the old days."
Moreover, netizens pointed out that the combination of the 8th member - Kim Seon Ho - and BTS on stage is truly a visual feast. During the 2021 Fact Music Awards (TMAs), Kim Seon Ho presented the “Listener’s Choice” award to BTS and fans got to witness their interaction. In addition to being overwhelmed by the 8 top visuals, netizens couldn't help but talk about how Kim Seon Ho is the perfect piece of the group if possible.
If that's not enough proof, Kim Seon Ho has always shown his inner ARMY. Back in December 2020, he participated in a video unboxing Jimin's DICON photo book package. He definitely looked like a true ARMY showing off his love for the photos, even adding that he'll be taking inspiration from Jimin for future photo shoots!
From then on, fans couldn't help but acknowledge that Kim Seon Ho is truly an "8th member" of BTS, the one they can trust while the group's seven members enlist. Not only that, fellow ARMYs also suggested to each other to enjoy the 8th member's released K-dramas while waiting for the 7th member to be discharged from the military such as: "Chief Kim" (aka Good Manager), "Strongest Deliveryman" (2017), "You Drive Me Crazy", "100 Days My Prince", "Welcome to Waikiki 2", "Catch the Ghost", "The Chidle"...
Besides this interesting theory, BTS and Kim Seon Ho are both loved and famous so fans hope to see more coincidences between the actor and the group in the future!
