I may have mentioned I love Stranger Things? So I decided to compare them to BTS. This is going to be really ridiculous so please, don't judge me. I think I'll make more of these, it's actually fun to look for traits that connect totally different people.
Taehyung as Dustin Henderson
Honestly, they're both so sweet? Tae is one of the nicest people I've ever seen, he loves pets and is the mood-maker of BTS. Dustin literally adopted a monster and insisted he had some sort of connection with it. The way he treated and loved D'Artagnan reminds me in a bizzare way of Yeontan. Also when Dustin brought food to their quest while Lucas and Mike pulled out compases and stuff needed to survive but this kid was so sure of himself and his choice of supplies. He's an awesome character who sees things from a bit different perspective, just like Tae.
Seokjin as Steve Harrington
Okay, kids, it's 2018 so no eomma jokes anymore. I chose Steve because of the radical character development. We get to know him as an arrogant douchebag who's all about girls and his hair, and end up with a kind fighter looking out for people who need him and who he cares about. I don't know much about Seokjin's character but at the beginning he was a boy who was super handsome but in some way was lacking (like a lot of rookies at that time). Over the last four, five years we could watch the quick changes and suddenly, he's one of the most talented people on the Earth? He's a great singer, dancer, he plays many instruments and on top of everything, he's kind-hearted and caring.
Namjoon as Lucas Sinclair
I feel like Namjoon is the most rational from all the boys. He sees things the way they are, which is one of the reasons he became a leader. When I remember all the times he was cringing while boys were doing stupid stuff or attempting to speak English while in America, it really reminds me of Lucas and his reactions to abnormalities, his friends' freaking out. They both care about their friends deeply and would do anything for them. I feel like Namjoon would be able to forget all quarrels if any of his members was in danger, similar to Lucas.
Hoseok as Mike Wheeler
The show is really not happy at all but Mike was so optimistic throughout all the events that he strongly reminded me of Hoseok who's always positive, no matter what. His role inDungeons & Dragons suggests that he's very creative. When I look at Hobi and his crazy ideas, he reminds me of Mike's narrating. They're both loyal and highly comitted to their friends and would do anything for them.
Jungkook as Max Mayfield
Max is tough, confident and always speaks her mind. After he turned adult, Jungkook grew to be kinda sassy and the members even admitted they're sometimes afraid of him. She's also skilled in video games and I really hope Jungkook has some skills after playing so much Overwatch. Just like Max, he was asocial and not very talkative in the beginning when he got to know the others but opened up to them and became friends with them after some time.
Jimin as Jonathan Byers
While Jonathan is very introverted, he's very kind, independent and brave. Despite being from a small town, he wants to go to an university in New York. He is very close to his family and has a soft spot for animals. Jimin is a little fluffball who started as a normal Busan boy and ended up being one of the most famous Korean idols. They both have strong connections to music and are positive no matter what (Jonathan believed he can save his brother no matter what). They are able to face reality though and aren't big fantasy dreamers - Jimin always seemed down-to-earth to me.
Yoongi as Nancy Wheeler
Nancy is very intelligent, strong and brave while being also kind and sympathetic. She has strong tendencies to blame herself but doesn't let it stop her from moving forward. I actually don't like her attitude and to be honest, Yoongi doesn't always seem very nice either. Deep down, he's kind, caring and understanding and because he knows what weakness is, he's not afraid to share his strength. Another reason for their similarities is also their thinness, like I can see her bones and Yoongi used to be super skinny as well. I hope they both take care of themselves.
