Kimchi

BTS members, especially J-Hope, appreciate traditional Korean cuisine and have a soft spot for kimchi, a spicy and tangy fermented side dish.

Korean Barbecue

Korean barbecue, with grilled meats like beef, pork, and chicken, is a favourite dining experience for BTS, enjoyed with side dishes like ssamjang and lettuce wraps.

Fried Chicken

Fried chicken, especially the Korean style with sweet-spicy sauce, is loved by all BTS members, and they even made an ASMR video dedicated to eating chicken.

Jajangmyeon

Jajangmyeon, a comforting Korean-Chinese noodle dish with a thick black bean sauce, is a go-to comfort food for BTS, especially for RM.

Lobster

Lobster is a seafood delicacy loved by some BTS members, including Jin, who famously ate 10 lobsters by himself. Although RM and Jimin aren't big fans of seafood.

Kalgaksu

RM enjoys Kalguksu, a soul-soothing Korean knife-cut noodle soup, a dish which is especially popular during the summer.

Japchae

Japchae, a stir-fried glass noodle dish, is enjoyed by BTS, particularly V, for its delightful taste and vibrant colours.

Naengmyeon

Jin finds solace in Naengmyeon, a refreshing cold noodle dish with a unique texture and tangy flavours, during hot summer days.

Fast Food

Despite their love for Korean cuisine, BTS members love to indulge in international flavours, especially when they travel, especially favourites like pizza and burgers.

Coffee

Several BTS members, including SUGA, J-Hope, Jimin, Jin, and RM, are self-confessed coffee addicts, with SUGA's love for iced Americano being particularly strong.
