However, Bang Si Hyuk mentioned that while many people think that BTS wasn't successful due to the circumstances, he claimed that it was indeed the opposite.
The HYBE founder proudly stated that BTS was successful from the start since they also received rookie awards in their early days.
Bang Si Hyuk: "I thought I should do it, so I did, and BTS was good at that time. People keep thinking that BTS didn't do well in the beginning, but that's not true. They did very well from the beginning."
Yoo Jae Suk: "Ah, as far as we know, it was actually like that from the start."
Bang Si Hyuk: "It sounds good to say that they didn't do well from the beginning, but they got successful when they returned from the US, but that's not it at all. They received rookie awards in their first year (together) and were very successful that time."
