Even though BTS has enlisted, they are still the celebrities who top the annual entertainment power rankings. So in BTS, which member holds the highest authority over everything related to the group?
The answer was revealed by Jin himself in a recent interview with GQ magazine. Along with that, the eldest brother of BTS also revealed how the members maintain a close and harmonious bond over more than a decade of being together.
If you are wondering about the most powerful member in BTS, check out the answer below:
Jin has returned to the Kpop race since his discharge from the army in June this year. He has given fans a series of quality music products as well as participated in many different entertainment and promotional programs to make up for the 2 years of military service.
After finishing the second half of 2024 with a bang, Jin sat down with GQ кσяєα for his first interview since completing his military service. In the interview, he shared many interesting things about his solo activities as well as the differences between solo activities and group activities with BTS members.
Speaking about this, Jin shared: "Group activities have a clear overall direction, so it’s most important to coordinate opinions among the members toward the set direction. If you honestly share your opinions with each other, you can create better results than you expected. And most of all, the fact that the members are together is very reαѕѕuring. On the other hand, solo activities guarantee autonomy in what you want to do, but it also comes with a sense of responsibility and a lot of tension."
Continuing the story, the interviewer asked Jin about how the 7 BTS members have maintained smooth communication and formed good relationships over the past 10 years. Not only did Jin share the secret to helping BTS maintain good friendships, he also pointed out the most powerful member of the group, surprising fans.
Specifically, he said: "In our case, I think our leader RM's role is significant. He listens carefully to each of our opinions, then suggests and leads us to the best way/solution. He's reliable and trustworthy. Me and RM, both have things we'd like to do, but we don't αѕѕert them strongly in group activities, so instead, we'd like to reflect them in our solo projects".
Fans realized that even though there are some members older than leader RM in BTS such as Jin and SUGA, in all matters related to the group, the leader still has the strongest voice. This is also shown through many behind-the-scenes footage in the past, showing that RM is almost the one who makes the final decision or the common solution whenever the group has a dispute.
ARMYs admire the way BTS members always aim for a common goal instead of being influenced by personal thoughts and purposes. Another admirable point is that the members of the group have a strong belief in the rest, especially their leader. These things have helped the group maintain its activities for a decade with all members and reap great success.
Meanwhile, fans also understand why RM is the most powerful person in the group. Not only is he chosen to be the leader, but he also has the qualities of a top leader. Leadership coach Noona Nafousi ever mentioned RM when talking about the popularity of BTS: “Because of their amazing group leader RM. He has no ego, it’s not all about him. It’s about the rest of the band. He’s the only one that can speak English and yet he doesn’t isolate the rest of his team. Just a clαѕѕic example of a great leadership.”
ARMYs have nothing but praise for BTS' friendship and RM's leadership:
- Seokjin’s always been (like the rest of the tannies) very vocal about how great Namjoon is and never shy about showing his respect and appreciation.
- The best leader and the best hyung. RM deserves the power because his hyungs see his talent as a leader
- Yeah Joon is the best!! He is one of the most important element to lead BTS to success
- RM is boyfriend material, husband material, father material, president material like sir let me PROPOSE
- This is why they are successful as a group. And why their time to do solo activities to express their ideas and personalities freely and fully has been so incredibly important. It will only make them feel more fulfilled and stronger when they reunite.
- Team work makes the dream work personified , that's why they are the perfect team.
- The coolest bros, Joon & Jin I hope they know that they have a healthy mind and body, and that they're doing very well as humans.
- Our leader is very smart and very kind, very strong and hot
- I love how they love Joonie so much
