How Suga stopped Jimin from leaving BTS

There was a real chance global sensation BTS would have been created without its beloved Jimin.

This revelation emerged when the K-pop star sat down in an online talk show called Suchwita, which is hosted by his fellow bandmate Suga.

In the appearance where Jimin discussed his debut solo album FACE, he made mention about his initial reservations when he was recruited for the boy band.

He went on to reveal that it was Suga’s persistence that led him to rethink his choice.

"When I first joined the agency as a trainee I didn’t have any ambition to be on the team, because I didn’t think it was my team," Jimin revealed. 

"But it was because of you [that I changed my mind]."

Suga was visibly surprised at the admission as Jimin recalled a specific situation.

"I still remember the lights were off, and we were in our beds. I think we woke up because Namjoon was snoring, and you were on the top bunk," the singer said while laughing.

"As you looked down towards me, and you said, 'You’re a good singer, so I really want you to be on our team.' That was when my ambition sparked," Jimin recalled.

Suga then recalled the moment and explained his point of view where he said that he recognized Jimin for his musical abilities as a singer rather than a rapper which at the time the agency was training him for.

"I knew what your tone and your voice would sound like when you sang. No one else on the team had that tone, [so] I felt that you could become a singer with a unique voice," he said. 

"I already knew, so that’s why I said that."

Suga went on to reveal that he approached the agency with the request.

"I said, 'He should be singing, why are you making him rap when he can’t even rap?'" he said, causing Jimin to erupt in laughter.
