Over the past decade, the entertainment industry has witnessed countless cases of celebrities facing major backlash over their attitudes. However, since their debut in 2013—whether as rookies or now as global K-pop superstars—BTS have remained an exception to this kind of controversy. Their kind nature, tact, and thoughtful behavior have earned nothing but praise from everyone who has ever interacted with them.
To illustrate this point, the following three moments involving SUGA, RM, and V at special occasions—such as weddings—recounted by brides or their families, will help you understand why no one has ever had anything negative to say about these K-pop superstars.
First, let’s revisit the story of RM at j-hope’s sister’s wedding some time ago. The wedding was held privately at a luxurious restaurant in Gangnam, Seoul. All BTS members attended, and naturally, their presence drew a lot of attention. Not only the guests at j-hope’s sister’s wedding, but the entire venue was focused on them. Worried that it might cause inconvenience to another wedding being held at the same location, RM personally asked his manager to convey an apology to the bride and her family.
According to the bride, BTS’s manager carefully explained that BTS were attending a family wedding that day and sincerely apologized if their presence had caused any inconvenience. Although she was not a fan of BTS at the time, she was aware of how famous the boys were—and she was even more surprised that they went out of their way to apologize for soмєтнing that was not even intentional. The rest of the story is that the bride was completely won over by RM’s sweetness and thoughtfulness and quickly joined the fandom.
Next is a similar story about SUGA’s behavior at the wedding of the daughter of renowned hanbok designer Youngmi Woo. BTS members have worn the brand’s outfits many times at award shows and major stages, and both SUGA and V are known to be big fans of the fashion label.
Recalling that day, Youngmi Woo remarked that her daughter’s wedding made SUGA the most memorable celebrity client in her career. She shared that what impressed her the most was his thoughtfulness and consideration.
She recalled, "Recently my daughter married. BTS Suga came there as the guest. I knew BTS members often weared our clothes, but I heard that day he dressed in full Wooyoungmi from head to toe. And I heard he had determined to let me know his fan heart from the day before. But that day I weared a pink Hanbok because it's my daughter's wedding. Actually I was so uncomfortable. I don't usually wear that but I weared it in order to match that event where my daughter was the main character. Later I heard from my daughter that he was afraid that I would be uncomfortable and he didn't come to greet on purpose. He said (it's a pity, but it's not a suitable time to greet). He noticed that and showed his concerns for it, which made me feel (He's such a thoughtful person) and made me feel thankful".
Finally, there is the example of V, who lived up to BTS’s tradition of politeness and thoughtfulness at the high-profile wedding of actors Kim Woo-bin and Shin Min-ah. The global BTS star was seen wearing a simple, neat knit jacket and glαѕѕes, and he quickly entered the wedding hall upon arriving at the venue that day.
At the reception, director Yook Sang-hyo, who worked with Shin Min-ah on the film 3 Days of Vacation, recalled that V was one of the celebrity guests who left the deepest impression on him because of his surprisingly “low-key” presence. He said his wife had texted him, "saying that BTS’s V was also in the hall and told me to try to look for him.”
Then, “I looked around and eventually spotted V—almost as if he didn’t want to inadvertently take the spotlight or overshadow the main characters of the day. He was wearing glαѕѕes, dressed simply, and sitting quietly among the actors, looking like a junior college student attending a thank-you party or an appreciation dinner,” the director recalled.
Across these three stories in completely different contexts, one consistent trait in BTS’s character clearly stands out: humility and thoughtfulness to the core. Even while standing at the peak of global fame—where everything should theoretically revolve around them—the members have never allowed themselves to rely on the privileges of stardom. Instead, they always know how to behave appropriately in every situation and even carefully consider the feelings and circumstances of others.
By now, anyone can easily understand why BTS have always stayed away from attitude-related scandals. They have never given anyone a reason to complain about their behavior. Truly, it is rare for global icons to maintain such quiet and enduring kindness amid the spotlight of fame.
