BTS Reveals HYBE's Strict Policy For Trainees And Why BTS Is Restricted From Other TV Shows

Since BTS debuted until now, in the first 2 years, fans have been able to see BTS appear on many TV shows. But from that time until now, most of the entertainment programs that BTS participates in are produced by HYBE themselves.

That is also part of HYBE's strict policy for idols. Behind that, there are many other rules from the time the idols are trainees until their successful debut. In addition, there are also some important reasons why HYBE artists in general and BTS in particular, rarely participate in TV Shows.

Here are the times BTS revealed the special rules of HYBE during the years since being a trainee until now:

As a trainee or idol of an entertainment company, you will not be able to avoid the strict regulations set by the management company. Typically, JYP has 6 regulations for trainees that prohibit smoking, drinking, driving, plastic surgery, joining clubs, and dating. Meanwhile, YG is famous for not dating trainees and even idols have to comply with this for 3 years since debut.

Similar to the above companies, вιg нιт Music is no exception as there are strict rules applied from trainees to top idols like BTS. One of the rules once revealed by Jin was not to drink alcohol from the time he was a trainee until his debut.

During a talk show, Jin told female singer Young Ji that he started drinking when he was allowed to drink alcohol at the age of 18. But when Jin was 19 years old and started training at вιg нιт Music, he was not allowed to drink alcohol. during his time as an intern. He explained: "I was unable to do those because the company stopped me from drinking when I came here as a trainee at 19 years old".

Besides, after BTS debuted, вιg нιт also introduced a number of other strict policies, including BTS's recording. Jin shared that normally BTS only participates in entertainment content released for ARMYs made by HYBE or in-house filmings. HYBE is also very strict when it comes to deciding what BTS members record, and we rarely see them appear on a variety show with a team other than HYBE staff or their partners.

Then, when female singer Lee Young Ji wanted to know more and asked about how often groups actually shoot third-party movies: "So you never participate in shootings by a 3rd party?". Jin again αsserts that it almost never happens: "Almost 99% of the times".

Not only Jin expressed this during his solo promotions on other entertainment programs, but other members of BTS also often shared that they were surprised by TV shows because they rarely attended 3rd party shows. Jimin and SUGA have shared their embarrαssment many times when appearing on talk shows of other famous artists and fans can easily recognize it.

Perhaps, some ARMYs also know the reason why HYBE rarely lets BTS on TV shows. Partly because ̾k̾o̾r̾e̾an entertainment programs have a history of treating BTS badly. You can easily find those terrible moments on YouTube. So, later on, HYBE produced entertainment content for the group and fans.

Another reason that many people can also recognize is that when BTS became globally famous, they had less time for TV shows. Participation in entertainment programs produced by HYBE will be easily adjusted to suit their schedules, while this is difficult for 3rd party programs.
