There is a saying that "Children are a reflection of their parents". Especially when children are young, parents play a very important role in shaping their personalities. Looking at the current BTS members, it can be affirmed that their parents are truly amazing people.
BTS members themselves have repeatedly admitted that their parents have a great influence on their personalities and careers. One notable thing is that the parents of superstars have very strict rules in raising them. That is probably also the reason why BTS has become the boys that everyone loves today.
Let's explore the parenting rules that BTS's parents have applied to them below:
People often say that family is the first clαѕѕ of each person and that is absolutely true. It cannot be denied that the help and nurturing of parents is one of the most important factors that helps BTS achieve the success they have today.
One of the secrets to raising K-pop superstars is setting strict rules. These rules have helped the members maintain a standard lifestyle and good character even though they have become the most famous artists in the world.
Starting with Jin's family, he was born into a family with two brothers and his parents were businessmen in Gwancheon. While his father was busy with his business, his mother took care of and raised two young children with very strict rules. Even now, Jin still maintains these habits.
For example, Jin always sits up straight whether there is a chair or not in any situation. This habit was required by Jin's mother every time he watched TV since he was a child. Jin's mother also restricted him from eating snacks because she thought they contained additives and were not nutritious. Instead, Jin's mother cooked delicious food for him to have a healthy body and maximize his physical development.
In addition, BTS members also revealed that Jin's family is very good at talking. Being taught about etiquette and social interaction from an early age, Jin always makes anyone fall in love with him at first sight.
Next, the case of SUGA and his parents is quite special. Initially, his parents did not support and encourage him to pursue the path of becoming a producer and idol. But after witnessing their son's pαѕѕion, his parents allowed him to pursue what he wanted on the condition that he had to complete basic education to ensure a stable future.
In the end, SUGA not only did very well in his high school years but he also succeeded in his dream career. SUGA even completed his undergraduate and master's degrees later. Another interesting thing is that SUGA also inherited many great personalities from his mother such as artistic talent or witty sarcasm.
Similar to SUGA, j-hope grew up in a very strict household as his father was a literature teacher. As a result, his father was against his decision to become a dancer and told him to focus on his stu∂ιєs. On the other hand, j-hope's mother was his ally from the beginning. She fully supported his path and even worked multiple jobs to financially support her son's dance stu∂ιєs.
To prove that he could succeed in his academic and choreographic career, j-hope used to study hard in school and stay up late at dance school to practice. In the end, all of j-hope's efforts paid off as j-hope's father was proud of his son, and his mother has always been his biggest fan.
Meanwhile, RM stands out for his English speaking ability, intelligence, and courage, all thanks to the progressive upbringing and rules his mother applied since he was a child. RM once shared that his mother encouraged him to learn English by watching the movie "Friends" with her. In addition, RM's mother bought him his first microphone, worth $45, after he kept his promise to do well on his school test. RM also inherited his love of art and museums from his mother. He has been visiting art museums with his mother since elementary school and has kept this habit until now.
For Jimin's family, his parents have a rule that family members must be each other's spiritual support. Therefore, in the past, when he felt tired, Jimin overcame it by sharing with family members. In the 2021 Weverse magazine, Jimin shared about his difficult times and how he sought advice from his mother. “I felt like I was becoming empty sometimes, at first I felt like I was denying my own thoughts and beliefs", he said.
Not only that, as the eldest son in a family that values tradition, Jimin had to learn rules and rituals from a young age. Now, he can take on many family duties on major holidays or also show it through his behavior. That shows that Jimin has learned and practiced family rules for a long time.
Like Jimin's family, V's family also values bonding between members. V once admitted that his parents are his strongest emotional support, even when they cannot take care of their son because of work. The first year V came to Seoul as a trainee, his mother bought him an expensive coat even though his family was not well off so that his friends would not look down on him. The kindness and love from V's parents were also pαѕѕed down to him.
Ultimately, both Jungkook's parents were not too strict. They gave him the freedom to decide what he wanted to do and only gave him advice when needed. He feels lucky that he did not have to endure too much pressure or expectation from his parents and had the opportunity to freely develop as a person.
However, that does not mean that his mother would let him cross certain boundaries. During a live stream, Jungkook told a childhood story about how his mother reacted to his dishonesty. "When I was little, I cheated on a spelling test and I got into a lot of trouble. I got a really good spanking. My mom…I’m not sure what she told me, to be honest, but I think it was soмєтнing like, “I don’t care if you get 100 or 0 on your tests. I don’t care about that. But the issue here is that you cheated". I made a big mistake".
Thanks to her upbringing, little Jungkook realized the importance of honesty. Since then, Jungkook has never made this mistake again and BTS's Golden Maknae is the most honest artist we have.
Obviously, BTS wouldn't have such a respectable personality without the influence of their parents. Although they come from different backgrounds and have their own ways of raising their children, these parents all have one thing in common: they always care and guide their children to be good people!
