During a showcase in 2014, it was revealed that BTS chose the title track of the Skool Luv Affair album title track thanks to Taeyeon. The title track titled “Boy In Luv” has the title “Manly Man” in Korea. Therefore, they felt burdened because they thought the title might not be appropriate.
Moreover, Bang Si Hyuk asked the reason why they chose that title. The agency founder seemed skeptical of BTS’ decision. However, those doubts were dispelled when SNSD’s Taeyeon mentioned about manly men which is the meaning of “Manly Man” in an event.
The phrase refers to Taeyeon’s statement at the Golden Disc Awards. While MCing the show, Taeyeon connected BTS with the words, “I like manly men” to introduce their performance. This is what gave BTS the confidence to set the song title.
BTS had also officially greeted Taeyeon while promoting the song. They were happy to meet the senior backstage at Music Bank. They also mentioned Taeyeon again as the person who made them confident in setting the song title on Twitter.
