Frankly speaking, despite being labeled global K-pop superstars, the members of BTS are, at their core, still just ordinary people — grown men who are mature both in age and in mindset. If that sounds unclear, let me put it more simply: they are adults.

They are not naïve boys who are unfamiliar with concepts like kissing, nor have they ever deliberately tried to project an image of “absolute innocence.” Of course, out of respect for public morality and their public image, they do not openly ogle women or bluntly express thoughts related to sex or sexuality.

However, that does not mean they never occasionally have discreet “dirty” thoughts. What earns BTS respect as gentlemen is the way they approach such topics: always in moderation, with tact, and often by turning potentially sensitive content into lighthearted, humorous, and charming conversations.

For example, in episode 99 of Run BTS! in 2022, the members learned flower arranging from teacher Kim Isaac and were introduced to the concept of each person’s “birth flower.” Jimin’s birth month flower turned out to be spirea, also known as “bridal wreath.”

But then came a hilarious misunderstanding: in кσяєαn, the name “bridal wreath” is 조팝나무 (jopabnamu). To the members’ ears, it sounded like 좆밥나무 (jojbabnamu), which closely resembles “좆밥” (jotbab)—a vulgar slang term in кσяєαn meaning soмєтнing like “∂єα∂ skin of a penis.”

Because of this wordplay, the BTS members burst out laughing, clearly letting their minds wander into slightly “∂ιяту” territory. Even though Jimin tried to calm the mood by saying, “If you laugh, it makes the situation weird,” the others couldn’t stop themselves, covering their mouths and insisting, “I’m not laughing.”

Clearly, our superstars share the same mischievous thoughts as any young men. So, who has the “dirtiest mind” in BTS? With nearly a decade of dorm life experience, Jimin once outright named Jin and RM during a broadcast—and even brought along evidence. But the hints seemed to lean more toward RM!

He pointed out that RM knew the names of all the girl groups, suggesting he had quite an interest in women. Then j-hope added another piece of evidence: “The rap line (SUGA, RM, and me) has a studio, and the computer there is always full of viruses.” And the culprit behind those “viruses”? None other than RM.

That remark sent everyone into laughter, as the phrase “computer full of viruses” was an obvious euphemism for downloading or watching adult videos. The show even cheekily captioned it as “Rapmon’s P*rn Lover”* but reαѕѕured him by saying he was 22 at the time of filming and that such things were normal.

On another occasion, at a fan sign, an ARMY asked Jimin to rank the members from “most ρєяνєятed” to “least ρєяνєятed.” Once again, he had everyone in stitches by writing RM’s name in the top three spots… and j-hope’s name in the bottom three.

However, at a different fan sign, Jimin put himself in the top three “ρєяνєят” spots instead. Was this a drastic change of heart—or was he just trying to shield his fellow members?

In the end, these playful debates and cheeky call-outs do nothing to diminish the image of these global stars. On the contrary, they are among the most genuine details that highlight the very human side of BTS. Fans delight in seeing BTS tease one another freely and share small, unfiltered anecdotes from their everyday lives.
