He started his musical journey at age 11 when he was introduced to lyricism after his schoolteacher introduced him to Eminem’s music. He began writing lyrics and chose the name “Ranch Randa” when he started rapping in the underground hip-hop scene as a middle school student. He later selected the name “Rap Monster” during his time as an idol trainee before he formally changed it to RM (Real Me) in 2017. He has said that the moniker “Rap Monster” no longer represented who he was or the music he created.

He was a part of the underground hip-hop dance group Neuron before he made his debut as a member of BTS. Initially known for his dance skills, J-Hope actually went on to win first place in a national dance competition in 2008. He later gained interest in singing and rapping, which prompted him to go for an idol audition. He chose the moniker J-Hope because he wanted to represent hope for his fans and the group. On March 1, 2018, J-Hope released his first solo mixtape, Hope World, and was the first BTS member to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 as a solo act.

Jin

Without any foundation in music, Jin was scouted by his current agency, Big Hit Entertainment, for his handsome face. Jin has released two solo songs titled “Awake” and “Abyss” and enjoys success performing with his bandmates.
