A decade ago, BTS sat down with The Star magazine and envisioned their future. While some predictions turned out eerily accurate, others are still waiting to unfold. Let’s take a look at what each member foresaw and how it aligns with reality today.
RM:
When RM imagined his future, he saw himself as a successful rapper—and he wasn’t wrong. As BTS’s leader, he has not only established himself as a lyrical genius but also a global artist with a thriving solo career. With chart-topping albums and brand endorsements, he has certainly checked the "rich" and "rap star" boxes.

Jin
Jin predicted that by this time, he would have completed his military service and become “Sergeant Kim Seokjin.” He also envisioned himself as someone mothers enjoy watching on TV. True to his words, he fulfilled his military duty and remains a beloved figure, known for his warm, family-friendly personality and TV appearances.

Jhope:
Jhope saw himself as part of a world-famous BTS and there’s no denying he nailed it. With a successful solo career and historic performances, including at Lollapalooza, his prophecy was spot on. He also mentioned military service, and true to his words, he enlisted and is now serving.

Jimin:
Jimin’s dream was to become a singer who truly enjoys performing and that has come true in the most spectacular way. Whether with BTS or as a soloist, his stage presence is magnetic and he continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
V:
V had a rather unique vision for his future—taking his (fictional) kids, Taekwon and Taegeuk, to the zoo while feeding shrimp chips to pigeons. While this hasn’t happened yet, fans still hold out hope that one day, V will embrace his "cool autumn man" persona.

Jungkook
Jungkook saw himself owning a duck restaurant or becoming a tattooist. While neither has materialized yet, he has expressed a deep passion for tattoos, covering his arm in ink over the years. Who knows? Maybe the restaurant dream isn’t too far off!

It’s fascinating to see how BTS’s dreams have unfolded over the years. Some predictions were strikingly accurate, while others still have time to come true. But one thing is certain—each member has carved a remarkable path beyond what even they might have imagined. ARMYs are excited to see how the next 10 years will unfold for BTS as the group reunites later this year after RM, Suga, Jimin, Jungkook and V's military discharge.
