Dangerous Woman - BTS 8th Member

Big Hit Family

Bang Si-hyuk (Hitman Bang)

He was the first and only person that Grace auditioned for, even though she had gone to Big Hit as a would-be dancer and assistant as she was literally just out of school. He asked her to sing on the off chance which she said and she was hired on the spot as a background singer.

It was agreed in the beginning she wouldn't be an idol, but a trainee in case the opportunity arose (i.e the hip hop group that Bang wanted to create).

Her training covered many objects including hip-hop style of dancing and her singing lessons she took with Lee Hyun who was the first idol she had ever met.

The introduction to Namjoon happened with Bang, who explained what he was looking for in terms of a new hip hop group (which is what the second audition was originally about). There were no talks at that point in creating a co-ed group.

After BTS debuted and grew successful, Bang always kept the door open for Grace as she was the only female at Big Hit and the only female member of BTS so he told her if she was ever having any problems with anything, his door would be open

He was one of the main producers for her solo in WINGS - Dangerous Woman. He would later go on to be the main producer for all her mixtapes and solo album

He treats her like a daughter and often phones her to catch up, to ask how things are going.

When she started to win awards on her own, he was the first to congratulate her and would always send flowers.

Bang and her parents get on very well

He's often seen as more of a paternal figure to Grace, a substitute father during her early idol days when her own father couldn't be there for her

Lee Hyun

Grace's first tutor in being an idol and gave her vocal lessons as well

She often sees him as a big brother or another father figure, and has jokingly called him 'Big Hit's boss.'

If he has a song that he's written which he thinks would suit her vocals, he'll send it to her with notes. She'll often record it for fun then send it back if Lee wants to use it. Sometimes she'll do the same for him - write a song, send it over and he records it back for her

Grace was heartbroken when he had to go into the military and would often write him letters, keeping him updated on what was going on

Though it's not often on camera, they always work together behind the scenes. A brief glimpse of their relationship was captured on camera at the Big Hit Family photoshoot with TXT. Fans commented on how Lee made sure Grace was comfortable in her outfits and shoes

In his YouTube series, she was the one who did the first introduction for him and he'll often comment on her vocals with PD Dogg and her dance skills with Son Sungdeuk

Tomorrow X Together

Grace's babies. There's no point in denying that. Just like she is with Jungkook, Grace treats TXT like her babies.

In the early days, she often kept an eye on them and would secretly order food for them, knowing they had been training hard since day one.

TXT treat Grace like a big sister, often referring to her as 'Grace Noona' in videos when they happen to mention her. And MOA's know Yeonjun is her biggest fan

Since these challenge videos started coming out, Grace would always be the last one to do it with them but always made sure to appear in at least one of those videos with the boys, especially for their 'Good Boy Gone Bad' single.

At music award shows, Grace would always sing along to their songs

And at Music Bank, she's always trying to pull them in to sing along or dance along to whatever song they've won to

It's also on video that they have a large collection of Grace merchandise as well

If TXT has a concert, Grace will do her utmost to be there
