Celebrities around the world are known for pretending to be in public.
As a result, it can sometimes be difficult for fans to tell the difference between a celebrity persona and their normal self.
BTS brought up that question last year and revealed to fans what those differences are.
BTS shared that there are differences between their celebrity selves and their normal selves
In June 2019, during a celebration to mark their debut anniversary, BTS uploaded a video of them eating together. During the meal, members took turns answering a series of questions. One of these questions was about the differences between the celebrity and normal selves of the members.
According to Jungkook, his celebrity side “shines” compared to his normal side, which is rather “insignificant”. Jungkook pointed out that when he was younger he was not a good student, and even now he has no interest in studying. It seems that this contributed to his view of his normal self.
Meanwhile, Jin also noticed that his celebrity self is “happy” and always tries to crack a joke. His normal self is rather “dark”. He said, “Many people tell me that as Kim Seokjin, I am different than I appear as Jin.”
J-Hope revealed that his stage name had an impact on who he is as a person – he became a happier, more hopeful person. However, he also noted that it sometimes puts pressure on him because he can’t be happy all the time.
Like the other members, Jimin is “more assertive” and “more confident” as a celebrity. He also addressed his concerns about where his celebrity personality ends and where his normal self begins. “I don’t know if to split this up or if I should stay the same,” he said.
BTS has spoken about the pressures of fame
How were BTS as trainees? That’s what the owner of a restaurant says they used to go to often
While BTS have benefited a lot from their notoriety, it is clear that the members also face some problems.
They have also spoken openly about some of the challenges they face as celebrities.
For Suga, being famous has limitations in what he can do. He once said in the BTS documentary series Break the Silence that he is “jealous” of people who can go anywhere anytime and anywhere.
“I’m really jealous of people who go out to eat, travel, go to the movies with friends and stuff like that,” Suga said, according to Koreaboo. “These things are really special to me because I have a hard time doing them… You win as much as you lose and vice versa. It is a loss of the ordinary.
That was the biggest change. What is common to others is special to me, while what is special to others is very common to me. “
In the meantime, Jungkook has said that he constantly feels the pressure to present a perfect picture of himself.
“I realized that I should think twice before doing anything and remember where I am no matter what my situation,” he told Paper Magazine. “The pressure [perfekt zu sein]is always there. “
