BTS members' alternate professions revealed: From farmer to actor and beyond

BTS, the globally adored super band, has captured the hearts of millions worldwide with their music. But have you ever wondered what careers the members would pursue if they weren't in BTS? It's like trying to imagine a unicorn without its horn - almost unimaginable! Yet, BTS members have occasionally hinted at their hypothetical professions outside the music industry, ranging from farming to law enforcement. So, let's indulge your curiosity and take a peek into the parallel universe where BTS aren't global superstars but rather... well, you'll just have to stick around to find out.

Min Yoon-gi, better known as Suga, is like a love-struck teenager when it comes to music - head over heels and never looking back. When he's not on stage hyping up the ARMY as a part of BTS, SUGA dedicates himself to his craft, often birthing his own music under the stage name AgustD. It comes as no surprise that when posed with the hypothetical of life outside of BTS, SUGA envisions himself as a songwriter or producer, committed to the art of music composition. Interestingly, during his childhood, SUGA harbored an interest in architecture. But let's be real, can you even picture him doing anything other than dropping beats?

Known as RM in BTS, Kim Nam-joon shines as the group's leader, a role he excels in like no other. But did you know, he's mentioned in a Billboard interview that if he wasn't a rapper, he'd consider being a businessman or working a regular job? Fans totally support this, seeing how much he loves learning and reading. With his genius-level IQ, some even think he could be a CEO someday! RM's family wanted him to have a stable job, maybe in business, because of his sharp mind. He again shared his dream of being a businessman on another talk show with Jimmy Fallon, saying, “Study hard and go into a.. you know, get a nice job. That’s my dream. That was”.

Jung Kook, the ‘Golden Maknae’, has openly shared his passion for gaming. Beyond just enjoying it, he's even considered it as a potential career path. In an interview with Radio Disney, he reminisced about his love for the game Kart Rider, expressing “Ten years ago, I was really into the game Kart Rider. I wanted to race”. He again, in a Billboard interview, entertained the idea of becoming a professional gamer. Furthermore, Jung Kook has mentioned in a separate interview that he would have chosen to become an athlete if he hadn't joined the K-pop industry.

Many people believe that Jin's backup plan is to become a farmer, growing melons or strawberries. This idea comes from a Billboard interview where the 'World Wide Handsome' singer mentioned being inspired by his uncle, who is a farmer. Famous for his love of food, Jin's hosting gig on ‘Eat Jin’ only adds to the farm-to-table fantasy. However, in an interview with Jimmy Fallon, he revealed his dream of becoming an actor. Cue the applause and excited squeals from fans worldwide as they eagerly anticipate Jin's debut in a K-drama.

Jung Ho-seok, the lead dancer of the group, has been grooving since his Joy Dance Academy days at the tender age of 10. Since then, Jung Ho-seok, also known as J-Hope, has dedicated himself wholeheartedly to the art of dance. If he hadn't found fame in K-pop, he'd probably be busting moves professionally on the dance floor. However, amidst his well-established love for dance lies a lesser-known passion: tennis. In an interview, J-Hope expressed an affinity for the sport, suggesting that he could have pursued a career as a tennis player. And if you need proof of his skills, just tune into one of the Run BTS! episodes where he serves up some serious game on the court.

Jimin, affectionately known as the 'mochi' of the group, boasts professional training in contemporary dance, as he earlier considered it as a backup plan. However, Jimin has also shared dreams of donning the uniform as a police officer, in a Billboard interview. A notion that made countless fans envision Officer Jimin patrolling the streets. Furthermore, during an appearance on ‘The Late Show’ with Jimmy Fallon, Jimin and Fallon entertained the notion of Jimin pursuing a career in hosting, with playful banter leading to the humorous suggestion of becoming ‘Jimin Fallon’.

BTS' heartthrob member Kim Taehyung, famously known as V, previously made headlines by expressing his interest in pursuing a career as a saxophonist, considering it was the only instrument he knew pre-BTS. The internet couldn't help but chuckle when V initially stumbled over the word ‘saxophonist’ during the interview, turning it into an instant meme sensation. However, in subsequent Billboard interview, V shared another surprising ambition: to become a farmer if he weren't an idol. Despite the contrasting nature of these career paths, V's fascination with both professions is apparently inspired by his family.
