Whenever we see BTS, either on the stage or off the stage, we can’t help being blown away by their charisma. Anyone can agree that no matter what they wear or how they move, it always makes us be like woaaahhhhh. Before we go further, you might be curious as to the meaning of charisma – and does BTS really have it?
A definition of charisma itself, based on the Merriam-Webster dictionary, is a special magnetic charm or appeal. Then, according to Psychology Today, a personal charisma allows individuals to affect and influence others at a deep emotional level; so one who is charismatic can communicate effectively and make strong interpersonal connections.
Now that we know what the definition of charisma is, let's check out what kind of charisma BTS has, both as individuals and as a group.
RM is indeed a great leader for BTS. Even all the way back when Bang Si-Hyuk first asked Namjoon to be a soloist or stay with BTS, he chose to stay with the boys without hesitation. He knows what he should do to make sure that BTS work collectively as one rather than acting as 7 different people with 7 different agendas. His language skills also leave us speechless, the way he composes music and lyrics is just perfect. Also, his English skills that help the members to understand what people say, as well as translating English into Korean, have been steadily improving over the years.
We can all agree that Jin is the one that has tons of jokes to melt the situation whenever it is needed. He knows when to tell a joke, to make everyone laugh, and cause an intense atmosphere to be gone in a matter of seconds. However, he also knows when to be serious. Although, it might seem like he would tend to be goofing around, when it comes to work ethic, he also has one of the best ones. He was the one that did not have any background in dancing or singing back then before their debut, but look at him now versus then; he continually amazes us, because he keeps learning about dance and always tries to give the best version of himself – just like the others.
Besides RM, we also have Suga who has the ability to create beautiful songs and music. He is also one of the most influential people in making BTS’ albums. Despite his (sometimes) cold expression, he is a warm person inside. As is evidenced by the one time on his birthday when he bought, hand-wrote, and hand-wrapped 300 letters and gifts to give to ARMY.
J-Hope is often called the sunshine of the group for a reason. His smile never leaves his face wherever he goes. He is also a great dance leader in the group, making sure that the members understand what to do, and ensuring that everyone corrects wrong moves during dance practices. The members said that J-Hope puts everyone first before himself, so he makes sure everyone has a good time first before he looks after himself.
Jimin is the person that always sets his standard high. In order to achieve that, he has a great work ethic and is very ambitious. Many fans would say yes if asked about whether we ever feel swept away by his beautiful angelic voice and graceful moves when he dances. He is also known to encourage the people around him, especially his other BTS members. Once Jimin said to V that while he might not be able to help V, he can be a strength for him. V has said that the sentiment has stayed in his mind, and helped him to grow as a person.
V is known as a social butterfly for a reason, his range of circles of friendship is very wide. It is all because of his effort to be friendly to others no matter who they are. He is also often perceived as a carefree and innocent individual; whenever he smiles, we just love him more and more. V excels when it comes to showing the expression of a song – when he sings Singularity, we can see his emotions clearly while he sings, his face, the lyrics, his voice, and moves are a perfect combo. Don’t you agree?
Last but not least, we have our golden maknae, Jungkook. We all fall for him, because he can do anything and everything, though he will often say otherwise. Despite his fear of microwaves, there is nothing that he cannot do – he paints very well, he can cook yummy ramen, his dance moves are smooth, and so much more. Jungkook's skills of videography also amaze everyone, he uploads infrequent videos to BANGTANTV under the title GCF – meaning Golden Closet Film.
Now let’s talk about their charisma as a group. It is undeniable that their hard work led them to become the biggest boyband today. They never stop evaluating and improving their abilities, in order to show the best they can do for their ARMYs around the world. They show us the purity of their love for music. Through their songs they share stories that are relatable to everyone who listens to them. They also never try to hide their feelings for us. They show us when they are happy or sad and have included ARMYs in many special moments throughout their career. Their big hearts also help other people too, because they support charities that are also followed by the fans, using their charisma and following to make the world a better place.
As bright as their career, their shining charisma as individuals and as a group will never cease to amaze us. It’s not surprising that over time, we have grown to love them more and more.
