3. Taeyeon SNSD
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.

The meeting took place when BTS became background dancers for 8Eight’s concert before debut. He could see the members eagerly practicing in the basement rehearsal room at the time. Jimin even asked her how to do falsetto correctly. Similarly, V asked for advice on high notes.
