BTS is the ideal model of dedication, love and mutual support, values that not every group can maintain over time. The group is a rare Kpop group that has maintained the full lineup as when they first debuted and has been successful for more than a decade.
Even at the present time, when BTS's group activities have been interrupted for 2 years, it has only deepened the au∂ιєnce's expectations for the return of the 7-member lineup. Fans cannot stop being excited to wait for BTS to continue to increase their influence and conquer success in the next 10 years of chapter 2 of their career.
Talking about the secret to maintaining friendship for over a decade and making it the core of success, j-hope shared his perspective when appearing in an interview with iHeartRadio. He gave deep reflections on the friendship and solidarity that has helped them survive and thrive for a long time.
“Each member knows their role in the team very well, so we influence each other in a positive way. I believe that's the driving force behind keeping the team together for 13 years. I wonder if I'd be fortunate enough to meet such amazing people again in another life”, j-hope gave an answer that touched the hearts of ARMYs.
j-hope's sharing is not simply his perspective. It carries deep memories and emotions, reflecting the arduous journey from the first days in the trainee dormitory to BTS becoming a global icon.
Behind the spotlight and fame are relationships built on a foundation of trust, respect, and genuine love.
ARMY immediately reacted strongly to j-hope's statement. They not only admired the singer's humility, but also deeply felt the message of friendship, sacrifice, and devotion that he conveyed:

- the genuine love and respect they have for each other makes me love them even more, there’s no faking it
Many people see BTS as more than just a group, but a real family. Some fans believe that the connection between BTS members is a rare example of unity and teamwork in the music industry, where competition and pressure sometimes make things complicated.
BTS's teamwork does not stop at happy moments, but also exists strongly in great challenges. Whether it is the difficulties in each member's solo projects, or the time apart when the group has to enlist in the army, love and support for each other is always maintained.
This has become the key factor that helps BTS not only stand firm, but also continue to grow, constantly innovate and spread their cultural influence to every corner of the world!
