The seven members ofBTShave five chart-topping albums, millions of adoring fans and this year’slongest-reigning No. 1 song, but there’s one thing they value even more: humility.
The K-pop superstars opened up toBillboardin a new cover story about their whirlwind success, and explained that in all they do, a sense of karma stays at the forefront.
“We’ve been avoiding blowing our own horn since 2017 because we’re afraid of payback someday,” RM, 26, told the outlet. “We constantly think about karma.”
Suga, 28, added that since they debuted through “such a small company,” it’s been “tough from day one” as the band has exploded into an international phenomenon.
“We are not exceptional people — our plate is small. We’re these rice-bowl-size guys getting so much poured into. It’s overflowing,” he said, adding, “My dream was never huge.”
“The road up to here has been arduous,” Jungkook toldBillboard. “It’s taken a toll on my health, and I think we’ve put in every bit of our youth and more.”

“It sapped our energy and killed our morale,” RM said.
