Stand by the idols everywhere is the dream of any fan. That is why fans always admire BTS's staff and bodyguards because they always accompany the members in every their schedule.
However, this seemingly simple job is not easy at all. Especially the role of bodyguards! Because the entertainment business always takes place regardless of time, and that requires bodyguards to work at high intensity and have a high sense of vigilance to ensure the safety of superstars.
During the 10 years BTS has been active in the entertainment industry, there have been many bodyguards accompanying them and many people have also left. There is only one bodyguard that ARMYs have always seen by the members' side for the past decade, that is bodyguard Lee - also known by ARMYs as the "legendary father" of the group.
If Bang PD is known as the "father of BTS", then Mr. Lee is also considered by ARMYs as a "father" who always protects and takes care of the members. Bodyguard Lee's real name is Lee Jae Hyang, and is currently said to be the leader of BTS's bodyguard team.
What ARMYs have recorded is that Mr. Lee has been a bodyguard for BTS since 2014. Many videos recorded the image of bodyguard Lee when BTS first debuted, with a skinny body, often leading the way for the members.
Meanwhile, in videos recorded in recent years, bodyguard Lee has a much bigger and more muscular body. He is often present with the members in foreign schedules, from airports to events.
Mr. Lee receives a lot of love and support from fans, he even has his own fans. Why is Lee so famous? The answer lies in the way he treats and takes care of BTS.
For the boys, Lee is truly a great father! Not only does he make sure the members are safe, guide them through the crowd, but he also takes care of things like eating, buying things, or receiving letters from fans.
On the contrary, the BTS members also show their close relationship with this "great father". On the day Jin was discharged from the army last June, he did not forget to hug bodyguard Lee as soon as he left the barracks. They even chatted very intimately and happily as if the family members who had not seen each other for a long time.
On the other hand, when j-hope released the MV Sweet Dreams dedicated to ARMYs, he also invited bodyguard Lee to participate in the short video doing a dance challenge to this music. Bodyguard Lee's shyness and j-hope's mischievousness made fans extremely excited.
When mentioning bodyguard Lee, fans cannot help but appreciate his dedication to the group:
- He literally watched them grow into the men they are. He was there when the screams were fewer and the money even lesser. He protected them in the worst of times and hung in the back with such pride in the best of times.
- Takes a lot to make me cry. I love this man. Thank you Mr Lee.
- idk why, but whenever I see mr Lee smiling it makes me happy lmao
- Count on Hobi to pookiefy Mr Lee because he knows ARMY would love it lol. He's truly a man of the people.
- I'm sure many ppl in our fandom have a crush on Mr.Lee
- Mr. Lee, the greatest bodyguard for Bangtan
