BTS' Jungkook joined Big Hit because of RM

Back in 2011, Jungkook participated in a popular singing competition. Although he did not make it onto the actual program, his 2AM's This Song performance grabbed the attention of many major music labels. He began by saying, "I participated in Superstar K3 and received calls from seven agencies after". Other BTS members who were listening to their fellow member's story, added that they saw the business cards that Jungkook received and they revealed that there were several agencies bigger than their own. They added, "It was a blessing that he came here". 

Despite the calls from several other big agencies, Jungkook chose Big Hit Entertainment specifically because of one of his fellow BTS members. He revealed, “I ended up [at Big Hit] because Rap Monster was so cool". The talk show continued to discuss Jungkook's talent prior to making his debut with BTS and also aired his audition clip from Superstar K3. Take a look below. 

Meanwhile, BTS is currently gearing up for the release of their upcoming second English single, Butter. The members have been treating their fans and followers with a number of teasers and posters on their social media handles.
