First, the debut group was supposed to be composed of Rapmon (Kim Namjoon), Iron (Jung Heoncheol) and Supreme Boy (Shin Donghyuk)
+
11ven (Choi Ikje), Suga (Min Yoongi) were chosen during Hit It 1 auditions
+
J-Hope (Jung Hoseok) was give a contract while he was attending his academy in Gwanju
+
Kido from Toppdog (Jin Hyosang) was chosen during Hit It 2 auditions
And from then, Iron, Supreme Boy, 11ven and Kido were dropped.
And Jungkook, Jin, V and Jimin were added.
+ Beenzino and Basick were also in the debut line-up!!!
At first, they didn't want to make an idol group and almost became a hip hop crewㅋㅋㅋ
Since Suga was supposed to produce and write lyrics and Rapmon was supposed to do hip hop, so they had no idea that they would become an idol group.
If you look at the auditions, Jungkook was rapping in front of an assembly during his audition video and entered Big Hit since he was the winner.
The rappers who were dropped also never thought of becoming idols.
Suga and Rapmon also said that they had a hard time identifying themselves as idols. They said that they kept saying that they would make music but suddenly needed to start dancing and were taken aback,
This was during their debut time. Everyone looked so youngㅋㅋㅋㅋ
