For BTS, Bang PD is not only the president of HYBE, a producer or a collaborator, but he is also the "father" of the group. Not only does Bang PD train BTS to become top stars in the world, but Bang PD has always protected and taken care of the members since they were just teenage boys.

In particular, in the early days when BTS debuted and was not yet recognized, Bang PD was a strong fulcrum and the only person capable of protecting BTS in the industry. There is a famous story about how Bang PD went to the person who ĨŃŚÚĹŤed the group's members to get justice and then he also comforted the members.

This story makes many people believe that this is the reason why BTS and Bang PD have been together for more than 10 years and in the future:

Bang PD has been with BTS for many years since the early days and taught these kids to become admirable idols. Behind BTS there are always the silent actions of Bang PD to protect and support them absolutely. Bang PD is the one who gave BTS the opportunity and led them to their current success.

Although in BTS's early years as trainees or newly debuted, he always appeared strict with each of the group's practices, but in reality he loved and protected the members like his own sons. To prove this, you need to listen to the story of Bang PD himself going to meet the person who ĨŃŚÚĹŤed the group's members to demand justice.

Specifically, in the early years of their debut, many people in the industry had a negative and bad attitude when treating the group members, especially SUGA and RM - two people who came from the underground world. Once participating in a hip hop show, rapper B-Free initiated the ĨŃŚÚĹŤ of two members becoming idols by continuously criticizing and disrespecting the idol world.

He thinks that putting on makeup to go on stage and perform like an idol is a no-no for a rapper. Not stopping there, B-Free also denigrated RM and SUGA with unpleasant statements such as "I've never listened to BTS music", “could have continued on the path to become rappers but couldn’t resist the temptation of money", "BTS's music is hip hop, isn't it?", "Going on stage and wearing makeup like a girl is called hip hop?".

At that time, because they had just debuted and had no voice in the industry, both of them could only stay silent and did not dare to protest. But Bang PD is different, he cannot accept having his children humiliated and belittled like that. According to information revealed by Palo Alto, B-Free's CEO in an interview, after the male rapper ĨŃŚÚĹŤed BTS on television, Bang PD came to the office and asked to meet him.

The CEO said that Bang PD came and spoke very politely with the desire to talk to B-Free about the main reason why this rapper said such disparaging words about his children. However, the meeting did not go smoothly because B-Free refused to meet.

Meanwhile, according to a former staff member of HYBE, after going straight to B-Free's company without meeting him, Bang PD returned to the dorm and comforted SUGA and RM by buying them delicious food. As for the story of that year, Bang PD once shared his opinion: "I think the basic attitude of hip-hop is expressing what is inside your heart. But there is the right time and place to speak about your genuine feelings? The show was held to celebrate the one-year anniversary … Wouldn’t it have been wise if he had considered his tongue?"

But even when Bang PD personally came to demand justice for the two members of BTS and B-Free, he also faced a lot of criticism from the public, but his attitude never seemed to apologize. B-Free is still extremely arrogant and refuses to apologize. He even challenged fans to attack him, saying, "If you spend more than 20 minutes just thinking about what I said, you'd better find a boyfriend".

However, through this story, fans also feel warm because Bang PD has taken steps to protect the members. That wasn't the only time in the past 10 years that Bang PD did that. He has always silently supported and protected BTS all these years later. And clearly, the bond between them is as strong as a family!

Fans also praised Bang PD's actions during that year's incident:
