Other members about Mae:

RM: "Mae is definitely like a sister to all of us. She joined the group last and is the only female making her a huge target to hate, but she manages to keep her head high. At least that's what it seems like most of the time, she's been known to keep her personal struggles to herself and even after being a group for such a long time, it takes her awhile to open up to us. We all hope one day she feels comfortable to share her thoughts with us."

Jin: "She even scares me when she upset or angry. I've seen her angry very few times and I hope I won't ever be on the receiving end of her anger. It's crazy how she can go from happy and outgoing to really quiet and shut off."

Suga: "Mae is like a little sister to me, she comes to me a lot when she's down about herself or just needs to talk. She tends to care more about our (the rest of BTS) health and wellness more then hers. She came to Seoul with our boss alone, that's a strain in of itself, and she was so young when she joined it was almost like the rest of us were raising her and watching her grow up is almost like watching your child grow older, I feel like a proud father."

J-Hope: "Mae is like the glue that holds us together. Whenever there's a disagrement, she listens to both sides of the situation and always is the one to come up with the solution that makes everyone happy."

Jimin: "Mae reminds me a lot of myself honestly. She was there when I was struggling with my self-consciousness, she's there for every one of the members (BTS) and is always the one who has helped us overcome and work out our differences. I just wish she'd come to us when she's having an issue instead of hiding it, we love Mae like a little sister and we all want to protect her from the harsh world."

V: "Mae reminds me a lot of myself and it's not just because we share a birthday just a six year difference. Mae is always laughing and joking around with me. I feel like I've raised her, watching her grow up with us and performing and practicing with us, she's really grown since our first meeting. Mae has a huge personality and is always making sure we're all well rested and fed, she cares about us so much we often question if she even cares about her health. Mae may be small but can probably make even the bravest man scared when she's angry, she's scarily calm and when she speaks she makes sure that eye contact is made. Once she gets her point across, it's like nothing ever happened, she's still the same Mae."

Jungkook: "Mae was even younger then me when she started, when I joined I thought I'd be the youngest out of all of them, even her, but when she said she was only 12, my mind was blown. She left her family to go forward on her passion at such a young age, it was almost like the day she agreed, she matured and grew up. We love Mae, it's like she's our little sister. She's so supportive of all of us and makes sure that we're in good health before she is. Mae and I are probably the closest in the group along with Taehyung, we're always doing something together, the three of us. Mae is what keeps us going, what makes us all happy about what we've accomplished.
