FACTS

Being Bighit's only girl trainee and BTS' only female member. BigHits Ace

In America or England, she'll take over from Namjoon for translations if needed

Bighit originally hired her for background singing and as an assistant but then later planned to make her a solo artist. They added her to Bangtan on a whim to see if it would work. Her original contract was only meant to last through two albums in case no one wanted to see a girl in BTS.

Doesn't like heights and doesn't drink alcohol, prefers tea over coffee

At a young age, she did ballet due to her mother and then moved into ballroom dancing for a period of time. Did win some competitions in ballroom dancing. Secretly learned Beyonce's Choreography in her bedroom

Is considered the mother of the group because of her age and her motherly instinct.

She can bake and sort of cook - give her British recipes any day of the week, not Korean.

Born in the United Kingdom, moved to Germany when she was seven years old due to her father's work and then the family moved to South Korea when she was ten years old, where they lived in Suwon-si. They moved to Seoul a week before her 11th birthday - her parents remain there to this day

She didn't live with the boys in the first dorm, instead living in a dorm down the corridor. The spare room was left for their manager

Was recruited for her singing and dancing but learned to rap as a just in case - this helped with backing vocals for the first two albums for the rap-line parts.

Jokingly called Jungkook's mother for how protective she is of him - though she's protective over all of them

Her personality sometimes matches Yoongi, so they are called the cats of the group

She's close to Seokjin, Yoongi and Jungkook - these four are called the 'introverts'

Any solo songs she records outside of BTS is on soundcloud until her first mixtape came along which included some of the songs

Was the researcher behind the 'Wings' album and the stories that surrounded the album, then became the main researcher behind the consequent themes and theories regarding albums afterwards

Has a secret Twitter account that follows important ARMY accounts

Does not do TikTok so you won't find her on there but she does have a secret account

Doesn't take anyone's bullshit in person or over V-Live. Will call you out if she has to.
