He added that, even then, he thought BTS leader RM “had leadership qualities”.
Meanwhile, Hwang recalled how Suga “[didn’t] talk too much” but had taught him a lot about music.The duo also spoke about how they had a “very happy training life”, compared to the stories he had heard from trainees from other K-pop agencies. “Namjoon, Hoseok and Yoongi (the real names of RM, J-hope and Suga, respectively) created a good atmosphere,” Kim said.
“It was possible because we were all supportive of each other from the start.”Later in the interview, the pair recalled how the member of BTS reacted when they left Big Hit Music. “I was practicing and Namjoon opened the door first.
