When the videos were posted online, netizens couldn’t hide their emotions at the nostalgic clips. For many, it was the first they’d seen clips, and ARMYs couldn’t hide their shock at how high-quality the clips were but the fact that the company had been recording the members’ lives long before they debuted.

For ARMYs, seeing new clips from the members’ pre-debut days showcases how far they’ve come but also that they have been a family for longer than fans could ever expect. Many also believe BigHit must’ve seen the potential in BTS to be worldwide stars to document them from so early, especially during a time when it wouldn’t have been common.
“They knew something we didn’t…”
