RM
RM is the leader of the band who aspired to be a rich rapper by 2023. As it has been a decade since his debut, he has become a lot more than a wealthy rapper by producing music. He is also the brand ambassador of the Ministry Of National Defense’s excavation team.
Jimin
Jimin indeed achieved his dream, as all he wished to be in 2023 was a cool singer who enjoys the stage. He also released his own album, FACE, and received massive recognition for it.
Suga
In 2013, Suga said he wanted to dominate the world with his music and hoped that everybody could hear his songs. A decade later, the K-Pop idol is currently on a solo tour for his album D-DAY which has blown minds.
V
Kim Taehyung, who goes by V, hoped something entirely different from where he stands today. The singer had hoped he would be married with two kids by 2023 but is now a legendary K-Pop idol, happy with his pooch. He is also rumoured to be dating BLACKPINK’s Jennie.
Jungkook
As we all know Jungkook is a foodie, in 2013 he wished to open a duck meat restaurant in a decade and pursue his love for art by becoming a tattoo artist. Now, the BTS maknae is the member with the most number of tattoos in the band, but does not own a duck meat restaurant. Well, we never know what he might do next to fulfil his own dream.
J-Hope
Hobi thought of becoming globally famous and being in the army in a decade during his debut. In 2023, he is a global sensation and has even begun training for the country’s military services.
It is safe to say that the band has achieved a lot more than anyone could have ever imagined. It is truly inspiring.
