8th Place: VAN (President?)
BTS should have seven members, but for some reason, there are eight types of BT21 characters. The eighth type is this cute character named “VAN”. We don’t know for sure, but there are rumors among fans that VAN is the president of BT21.
VAN who knows all the knowledge of the world. A character with the motif of a space robot that always reliably protects BT21.
Origin of Name
It seems that the members are not involved in the production of VAN at all, and the origin of the name is also a mystery.
7th Place: COOKY (Jungkook)
With a cute appearance, COOKY is full of energy. He has a strong sense of justice and possesses a gap charm. He’s a pink rabbit with one eyebrow hanging up.
It’s interesting to see the exact opposite of Jungkook himself, who gets muscles just by typing on his smartphone.
Origin of Name
It has the same name as Jungkook’s own nickname, Cookie, but there is a difference in the spelling of Jungkook’s nickname as “Kookie” and the character’s name as “COOKY”.
6th Place: TATA (V)
Prince TATA from the BT planet. A heart-shaped four-dimensional character that can use various supernatural powers, such as being able to freely extend and retract his limbs. This heart character is a character V has been drawing for a long time, and it seems that it was made into a character almost as it was in the original plan.
According to V, the design emphasized individuality rather than cuteness, and the bright blue and yellow dot pattern on the body expresses V’s unique personality.
Origin of Name
The origin of the name TATA is said to be a transformation of V’s nickname, Tae Tae.
5th Place: CHIMMY (Jimin)
CHIMMY’s favorite yellow hooded Jacket. He is a passionate person who can strive to the end no matter what. He often sticks his tongue out, and when he took off his hoodie, there were suspicions that he was bald, but Jimin himself denies it.
He is a character with a puppy motif, and his cute visuals that resemble a Sanrio character are gaining tremendous support from girls. Also, the sexy setting in which he loves pink pants is also very Jimin-like.
Origin of Name
The name CHIMMY is said to be derived from Jimin’s own nickname, Chim Chim. His name alone makes him feel cute.

4th Place: KOYA (RM)
A cute character with a koala motif, KOYA was designed by BTS member leader RM. KOYA is clever and can handle anything flawlessly. He has a lot of thoughts and he sleeps a lot.
He is also often lost in thought, so he always looks like he is sleeping, but he often puffs up his nostrils, so he is often really asleep. While he is sleeping, he is also pranked by the members. By the way, his ears are removable.
Origin of Name
The origin of the name KOYA is not clear, but it is speculated that it simply took the “KO” of koala (KOARA) and arranged it cutely.
3rd Place: MANG (J-HOPE)
MANG is the coolest when he’s dancing. He always wears a mask and his true identity is shrouded in mystery. During production, MANG with a horse motif was severely disapproved by the members, such as “the illustration is disgusting” and “nobody will buy it”, but because of the setting of wearing a mask, it has become a mysterious character like no other.
Taking advantage of J-Hope’s characteristic that his mouth becomes heart-shaped when he smiles, his nose is shaped like a heart.
Origin of Name
It is read as “manggu” and is said to have been taken from “himan” (meaning hope in Korean), which has the same meaning as J-HOPE. However, it seems that the members are teasing that it is a man with a different meaning (meaning to perish with “death”).
2nd Place: SHOOKY (Suga)
SHOOKY with a small body full of mischievous desires. He likes joking around with his friends the most, and he hates milk the most. Compared to the other members who come up with ideas smoothly, Suga’s SHOOKY, which was finally born after a lot of trouble, has a name and eyebrows similar to Jungkook’s character and is set up as a good friend like a duo.
The only food character in BT21, the motif is a cookie.
Origin of Name
The origin of the name is said to be SHOOKY, a combination of SHOO from Suga and KY from Cookie.
1st Place: RJ (Jin)
RJ likes to eat and cook. It envelops everyone with its fluffy fur and warm consideration.
The motif is an alpaca, and it has become popular for the soft and fluffy image that makes you want to hug it. The reason why the alpaca is used as a motif is that Jin’s eating appearance was said to resemble an alpaca, and Jin has been drawing alpaca characters for a long time.
Origin of Name
The “R” in the name comes from the alpaca’s Al, which resembles the R sound, and the “J” is the first letter of Jin, so it became “RJ”.
