With the moves that all members of BTS sport during their live shows, there is not a doubt in anyone's mind that BTS is coordinated and athletic. But do you know what sports different members participated in during their younger years in school? Here, we take a look at the unique sports hobbies that five of the different members played.

They're all so talented in their own ways- then and now!!

Suga

While Suga was still in school, he played on the basketball team positioned as a shooting guard. There is even a rumor that that may have been how he got the name Suga- "Shoo"ting "Gua"rd (editor's note: in Korean, Suga is spelt the same as the first syllables from "Shooting" and "Guard," but please understand that the English spelling is slightly different).

J-Hope

J-Hope played tennis during his schooling, but probably not for a reason you would expect. Apparently, the teacher asked if there were any students who would like to play tennis, and J-Hope was stretching at the time. The teacher interpreted that as a raised hand signaling he would like to play tennis, and thus it began!
