The Kpop GLOW UP effect in BTS (Who changed the most?)

it has been a long time since bts debut and they have gone through so many changes in the career from a relatively unknown group from a small company to now becoming the most successful group in south korea and even the world it is expected that they will also have some image changes from time to time and they certainly look very different from their debut era to now we all grow up but for idols they also go through what i like to call the kpop glow up whether we like it or not it's part of their job to pay attention to their image and many times this involves hard work and effort it could be diet exercise makeup better outfits a new haircut or any other beauty procedure their whole evolution is really interesting to watch this is a before and after video but with a bit more focus on the journey and their struggles at the end you can tell me down below who changed the most [Music] bts had a difficult beginning everyone knows about it but probably the member that felt the most pressure during that era was jimin he was originally a modern dancer and he was also the last member to be included in the group it was difficult for him to adapt you can see from pretty view he had quite a chubby and cute face but the group needed him to look more masculine for the first concepts so in the first years he focused on having a muscular body later on the concepts of bts change and so did his image he went through an extreme diet period during bloodstone and tears era he tends to gain weight quite easily so that's probably why he has become more perfectionist towards his body at first it was lots of exercise to look more muscular then it was diet and afterwards trying not to be difficult with himself and not getting hurt while performing with time he has become more stable and joyful with his appearance he continues to be a perfectionist in everything he does but hopefully he doesn't give himself such a hard time as before he really has gone from a cute boy desperate to debut and prove himself to someone who is clearly happy on his own skin and full of confidence [Music] rm the idol an artist with a vision he was the first member and we can say the group was formed around him he was mainly a rapper and from his preview photos we can see his style and overall image fitted more with that identity as an idol he knew that he didn't quite cover the beauty standards but he always trusted his talent he had a unique look and he embraced it at first he enhanced his rapper qualities and image but as a group changed concept he started to adopt a cleaner and more elegant kind of vibe as a front man in english interviews and the leader of the group he has developed a mature charisma and self-confident persona we know he has always been very deep and reflective but nowadays you can feel it even more even his wrapping has gotten less showy and strong to be more melodic and calm maybe it's just part of his growth as an artist but i think he is a member that has followed bts changes in music with his style and outfits the most he went from a strong and cool rapper with still some doubt and insecurities about his future as an idol to a charismatic and profound artist that can lead the way whenever the group is having a difficult time he was really young when he debuted he was a kid that thought he would become a farmer and though he always liked art and music he never really thought he will get where he is now since an early age you can see his sharp and delicate features though he certainly had a more cute and innocent aspect to him there is a reason why big hit maintained him as a secret member before debut and worried about other companies discounting him his appeal was palpable since the beginning however not everything in his time as an idol has been perfect he have had very sad events the dead of his grandparents that were like parents to him was a big impact in his life maybe it's only my perception but he seemed to mature and allowed himself to show more vulnerability and even sadness through his whole style and music after that his hairstyle is probably what has changed the most throughout the years with his passion being a close second nowadays he has more of a mysterious aura to him and a clear knowledge on what works for him in his style gestures and music he went from an innocent and passionate kid to a man that isn't afraid to show both his joyful and vulnerable side and that is what makes him so unique since young he decided to do music even if the path seemed impossible he's actually one of the few stories about idols being producers first and later on becoming trainees in pretty view photos you can see he had his distinctive cute and round features it wasn't until he became a trainee and later on an idol that he started worrying more about his appearance he's one of the members that has to put an extra effort in dancing especially because he can't push himself as much due to his shoulder injury he has also went through a lot of self-doubt and periods of depression throughout the years we know all of this because he has always shared his thoughts and feelings through his music physically we have seen him change his style and hair style according to the concepts of the group but always having the sugar essence i would say for him music has always come first and though i can say there have been times where you can feel he's not at his best when it comes to the group he will always give it all he seems to have adjusted well to the idle life even if it was difficult at first he's now definitely more sure of himself and he is willing to seize every opportunity that comes his way an idol that you can admire the kind older brother he's handsome since pretty view you can notice it in his photos there was even an instance when tourists took photos with him just because he was good looking for bts when he joined the group he didn't have any experience in singing and dancing and he always felt he lacked in many areas i would say he's the idol that has consistently improved the most he continued working on his singing and dancing but also in his charisma gestures and even mental health he has a positive attitude for everything he does and is one of the members that communicates about loving yourself the most his looks have stayed as handsome as ever and he actually seems to never age i will say the main difference in him is his confidence on a stage of course he had changed things like the hairstyle and makeup but overall he looks the same he has kept his genuine and goofy personality intact and that deserves praise on its own his glow-up had more to do with his abilities on stage he just learned how to shine more brightly in every new performance the golden magnet of the group he was really young when he debuted you can see it in his photos he still had a baby face he was a very shy and quiet boy to the point that he was asked whether he could debut because of how introverted he was you can see his struggle when showing his talent in his audition for kstar 3. during the first years of the group he focused on showing the best performance he could do and improving his abilities to the point that he's known to exhaust himself quite regularly also because he was really young when he started his journey as an idol he has said that he has a difficult time interacting with new people and showing his true self he has a lot of pressure to keep being perfect in all areas he is after all the center in many of the songs there has also been quite a lot of backlash whenever he had made a mistake or he didn't follow what people expected from him it's no wonder he has become even more reserved he's very artistic and hopefully we can see him express more of himself in the future the shy boy is turning into an amazing man that although he has a lot of pressure and stress is one of the strongest people out there [Music] from pretty view jacob's strength has always been his dancing while he was immersed in the idol training he discovered that he lacked in a lot of areas he didn't know much about producing music or rapping for example and he also was one of the members that was criticized the most over his looks he doesn't cover all the korean beauty standards but he knows how to use his qualities to look better on stage there has been a progression in his confidence over his music abilities he is now confident enough to release solo music and contribute to the song writing for the group it is said that he had a low energy personality before he decided to use the name j hope and since then he has been full of joy and hope you can see that he has grown to become an essential member of the group with his full energy on and outside the stage everything about him has become bolder and brighter he loves having the strong colors on his hair and sometimes using some flamboyant outfits he went from a boy who only trusted his dancing to a confident performer an artist that isn't afraid of trying new things no matter how extravagant or outgoing they may seem hope you like watching all of them grow and grow up even more
