I Purple You: All thing adorable about BTS

Today the colour purple is synonymous with BTS. But their tie to the colour was totally accidental and unintended

Kim Taehyung, whose stage name is V, first said "I purple you" during BTS' third muster, an annual fan meeting held in November 2016

To explain the reason behind using the colour "purple" instead of "love", V said, "Do you know what purple means? Purple is the last colour of all the rainbow colours, so it means I will trust and love you for a long time."

Army declared purple as BTS' official colour, and "I purple you" as their adorable way of saying, "I love you to the moon and back"

BTS debuted in 2013 with their first-ever single, “No More Dream.” 

About a decade ago, BTS members were just seven, normal South Korean guys with dreams of pop stardom. Then came Big Hit Entertainment, and their lives changed forever.

After the release of their first number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100, “Dynamite,” in August 2020, BTS followed their success with two more number-one hits: “Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat)” with Jawsh 685 and Jason Derulo and “Life Goes On” from their November 2020 album, BE

 The boy band was also nominated for their first-ever Grammy at the 2021 award show in the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category for “Dynamite.

RM, whose full name is Kim Namjoon, was the first member of BTS and is the band’s leader. RM, whose previous stage name was Rap Monster, is one of the band’s rappers.

Suga, whose real name is Min Yoongi, started as a rapper under the name Gloss in high school. It didn’t take long for Suga to make a name for himself as both a rapper and a producer

Jin, whose full name is Kim Seokjin, was the fourth member of BTS. Jin was originally scouted by SM Entertainment while on the street of his hometown in Anyang.
