Although the period of pursuing solo activities was necessary for each BTS superstar, it is undeniable that the seven-member lineup is what both the group and fans desire the most. Finally, after nearly three years of hiatus, BTS7 has returned with all seven members — making fans happier than ever.
Watching them live together for two months at a songwriting camp in the U.S., working in the studio, doing cheerful live broadcasts full of laughter and chatter, taking pictures by the seaside — all of it made fans feel as if they had just debuted recently.
The friendship and bond among BTS members over more than a decade have been undeniably strong. However, it’s not only the members themselves who share a close relationship — the connection between their families is also deeply impressive. The members’ parents treat all the idols as their own sons, and their families seem to be connected like relatives, forming one big extended family that wholeheartedly supports BTS.
On this day, several touching memories between the members and their parents resurfaced. Among them, a post about j-hope’s mother went viral with about 350,000 interactions, as fans were deeply moved by how she cared for the other members alongside her son.
Specifically, it was a moment recorded during one of j-hope’s visits home long ago. While having a meal, j-hope said to his mother, “I think I’d finally put on some weight if I stayed here for a month.” His mother not only smiled at his words but quickly added a warm offer to the other members: “If any of the members need to put on weight, send them here.”
That remark was not only an expression of her willingness to care for the other members but also a clear declaration of her love for all seven boys — treating them as her own children. This moment deepened the bond within BTS: not only among the members themselves but also the connection between their families, parents, and the idols.
Over the years, not only j-hope’s mother but also the parents of other BTS members have shown similar affection toward all of them. Fans still remember how V’s mother woke up early to make kimbap for the members to eat on the way to the campsite during In The Soop.
Fans also haven’t forgotten the meals BTS enjoyed in their debut days — cooked with ingre∂ιєnts bought by Jin’s mother, using seasonings and kitchen tools taken from her own kitchen, including an expensive pot.
When members such as SUGA, j-hope, or Jin held their solo concerts, the families of all BTS members were seen in the au∂ιєnce, attentively watching and cheering them on like their biggest fans — regardless of the generational gap. j-hope’s father was even seen warmly hugging each member when meeting them again.
All of this clearly shows how much the members’ families love BTS7. Moreover, the actions and attitudes of the parents toward the group serve as a driving force that strengthens the bond among the members, deepening the affection that already runs so deeply between them.
The moment with j-hope’s mother brought back many heartwarming memories between the members and their extended families, prompting fans to comment emotionally:
- Hobis mom treating bts members like her sons. BTS family is so adorable
- The whole family is sunshine. Stop making me cry
- This reminded me of the time when Taehyung's mom made food for all of them when they were traveling "she cooked for all of her sons" this line
- The best feeling is when your friends’ parents treat you like their own
- Still in tears realizing that BTS and the BTS parents are one big family (Seriously, what other group could ever be like this?)
- bangtan is honestly such a true family. like every tannie parent automatically has 6 more sons
- I remembered Hobi’s dad hugging everyone during HOTS, giving Yoongi an especially long hug, and now I’m crying because they’re a real family.
- from the parents perspective, every member is their kid, imagine how proud they must feel since they know how tough this is more than anyone.... Not a single one мιѕѕιиg
- Wasn't it Jin who picked as one of the highlights of a certain year attending Hobi's parents' house blessing? I love how they've become an extended family.
- They are really a big family, really heartwarming
- They are really a big family where the fathers and mothers take care of their 7 sons
- I wonder if all their parents have their own group chat
- It's touching.. they are really a complete family.. Hobi's mom asked about them, Tae's mom prepared food for them while at home..
- I feel so grateful for this. All of this warms my heart so much
- My poor heart can't take it anymore
