For BTS fans or fans of Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ Music or HYBE idols, it will be very familiar to male singer Lee Hyun. He was the first artist of Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ Music when it was founded and even he and BTS were the ones who laid the foundation for the current HYBE.
Just like Bang PD, because they are the first members of Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ Music, they have a very close relationship with BTS. BTS also expressed their love and support for Lee Hyun a lot in his music products.
As a senior and close brother of BTS, of course Lee Hyun can't sit still when anyone makes fun of the group. And from the very first days of BTS's debut, he reacted strongly when someone mocked BTS's name in the military:
Because Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ Music doesn't have many groups under their management. Basically, Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ Music only managed 3 artists, Lee Hyun, BTS at first and then TXT debuted. Therefore, the members of Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ Music from staff, CEO to artists all have a very close relationship.
Not only that, Lee Hyun is also considered by BTS as their brother in both the company and profession because he is the senior of the group. In the days when BTS first debuted, in addition to Bang PD and the producers, Lee Hyun was also the one who helped the group a lot and believed in the talent of the members that one day they would succeed.
Not only that, there were times when he protected BTS no matter where he was and what he was doing. Specifically, on one occasion, Lee Hyun talked about what he did when a sold̾i̾e ̾r spoke badly about BTS in front of him.
That was the time when BTS had their first comeback after debut, Lee Hyun had just enlisted at that time. So he can neither congratulate them nor contact them. However, Lee Hyun used public TV in the army to wait for their stage.
When Lee Hyun was waiting to watch BTS on TV, his military junior jokingly said, “What kind of name is Bangtan Sonyeondan (meaning Bulletproof Boyscouts)?”
These people don't know that BTS is in the same company as Lee Hyun so he is free to say bad things about BTS to other sold̾i̾e ̾rs. At that time, Lee Hyun said in a very serious tone to the sold̾i̾e ̾r, “Do you not like the name? They’re from my label.”
After Lee Hyun said this, his military juniors just looked at him embarrαssedly and said, “Now that I think about it, I think the name is quite memorable.” Back then, Lee Hyun felt sorry that he wasn't with BTS as their senior when the group first debuted, so when he saw people talking bad about BTS, he didn't recognize his true talent. of them, he will immediately respond and protect the members.
Thanks to that, Lee Hyun cheered as much as he could for BTS while in the army. In addition, he also shared that when he saw BTS' current successes, he felt very proud of what they did!
