Perhaps Kpop fans are no stranger to the story of creating BTS by president Bang Shihyuk. It was a bold move, but it also showed the outstanding success of Bang PD when putting his trust in the right people.
But behind that, it's not a miracle or luck, but each development of BTS as well as Big Hit Entertainment is the effort and hard work of both Bang PD and the members. They are strict and meticulous teachers with 7 students who constantly strive to get the results they are today.
In particular, there is a training method that Bang PD used to train the BTS members on the first day and that is also the foundation to create the current BTS:
To have the success it is today, BTS always listens to the teachings and instructions from Bang Shi Hyuk, the head of Big Hit Entertainment and also the one who molded BTS from the very first steps. During nearly a decade of being together, BTS and Bang Shi Hyuk have had countless memorable memories and, of course, unforgettable lessons.
When BTS was first established, it was difficult for Bang PD both financially and mentally as he was burdened with a huge debt. Bang Shi Hyuk also revealed to himself that the company was not in the best shape when they created BTS and that their only goal for BTS at that time was "not to fail".
Therefore, the training process to create BTS is also extremely strict and of course, in each of their plans and steps, no deviations are allowed. Each performance as well as the choreography of BTS is personally checked by Bang PD to the smallest detail.
They even had to stop practicing between the pieces when Bang PD discovered an error or the distance and position between the members was wrong. After that, the members have to self-correct and practice to correct the error completely. This process was so thoroughly examined that Jungkook and Jimin can't forget it until now.
Jungkook shared "Bang PD monitored our performances so strictly that he would press the space bar for our practice videos. If our angles weren’t correct, we would have to practice again". While Jimin added: "He really checked frame by frame and told us to even align the direction of our eyes". "For real, our eye direction and the angle of our necks…", Jungkook continued.
It can be said that it was a very sensitive period, so Bang PD did not allow the members or himself to be negligent and make any mistakes. It is the hard work and effort of the group and the company, along with their fandom ARMY, that has allowed them to rise higher than they could have imagined: from entering Billboard to world records and even even Grammy nominations for many consecutive years.
But Bang PD's previous days of rigorous training also made him feel sorry for the members for being too harsh on them when they were trainees. In a letter to the group, Bang PD admitted that he is so strict because of his greed and perfectionism that even no member of the group dares to face him.
Along with that, he also apologized to himself for giving them a hard time. But of course, when looking back at the results of that process, President Bang is also very proud that BTS has been with him and overcome all to get the results that make him very proud and achieve success that he never dreamed of.
In addition, even though BTS has become famous and powerful, they still respect the teacher who created them and take lessons from him. Instead of saying, "Now that you're famous, you can do what you want", Bang Shi Hyuk always reminds BTS to pay attention to their behavior no matter what position they are in.
It can be seen that Bang Shi Hyuk is really a strict teacher but also very talented and respectable. He has created a BTS that is not too complacent, does not rest on victory and then slips as soon as it reaches the spotlight. It is no exaggeration to say that 7 BTS members have been very fortunate to be taught by a good teacher from childhood to adulthood. They have taken each step carefully, in the right direction to get the success they are today.
