In the entertainment industry, we often see cases where celebrities face waves of criticism about their attitude. But BTS seems to be an exception to this type of scandal, and for more than a decade, no one has ever complained about their attitude or lifestyle.
The most reasonable explanation for this is probably that the members inherently have good character, maintain their true nature, and display appropriate behavior in every situation. With this discretion, the members not only receive praise and admiration for their personalities but also further elevate BTS’s reputation in the public eye.
The following stories about SUGA and RM’s thoughtful behavior in special situations—weddings—recounted by the brides or their families, are also part of the anecdotes that highlight the beauty of the “21st-century pop icons.”
First, let’s look at the story of RM at j-hope’s sister’s wedding long ago. At that time, the wedding was held privately at a luxury restaurant in Gangnam, Seoul. Wearing a beautiful wedding gown, Jiwoo looked like a real princess in the elegant, warm space decorated with fresh flowers, greenery, and countless candles.
At that wedding, all BTS members attended, and naturally, everyone was abuzz over the presence of the famous idols. Not only the guests at j-hope’s sister’s wedding but the entire wedding venue paid attention to them, making it impossible to avoid some commotion and noise.
Fearing that they might inconvenience those around them, RM personally asked his manager to send an apology to a bride and her family—who were holding another wedding next to Jiwoo’s. According to the bride, BTS’s manager carefully explained that BTS had attended a family member’s wedding that day, and if this caused any inconvenience to her family, they sincerely apologized.
Although she wasn’t a BTS fan at the time, she knew of the famous boys and was even more surprised when they went out of their way to apologize, despite the situation not being soмєтнing they had intentionally caused. And the rest of the story is that the bride completely fell for RM’s sweetness and thoughtfulness and quickly joined the fandom.
Next is a similar story about SUGA’s behavior at the wedding of the daughter of famous Hanbok designer Youngmi Woo. The BTS members have worn outfits from her brand many times at award shows and on major stages. In fact, SUGA and V are both huge fans of this fashion label.
Recalling that day, Youngmi Woo couldn’t help but exclaim that her daughter’s wedding made her feel that SUGA was the most memorable celebrity client in her career. She shared that what impressed her was his thoughtfulness and considerate personality.
Specifically, she shared that SUGA represented BTS at her daughter’s wedding, and she was very impressed when he wore Youngmi Woo’s designs to the event as a gesture of respect. But more notably, SUGA acted very thoughtfully by not approaching the designer because he thought she might feel uncomfortable moving around in her elaborate Hanbok.
She recalled: "Recently my daughter married. BTS Suga came there as the guest. I knew BTS members often weared our clothes, but I heard that day he dressed in full Wooyoungmi from head to toe. And I heard he had determined to let me know his fan heart from the day before.
But that day I weared a pink Hanbok because it's my daughter's wedding. Actually I was so uncomfortable. I don't usually wear that but I weared it in order to match that event where my daughter was the main character. Later I heard from my daughter that he was afraid that I would be uncomfortable and he didn't come to greet on purpose. He said (it's a pity, but it's not a suitable time to greet). He noticed that and showed his concerns for it, which made me feel (He's such a thoughtful person) and made me feel thankful".
Just a moment of such attentiveness, which not everyone would notice in a crowded wedding, reflected SUGA’s ability to be observant, to listen, and to act appropriately—leaving a deep impression on those around him!
