Secretaries/Team-Coordinators:

bettina SECRETARY

bettina
SECRETARY

Hi there!! I'm Bettina, a ’98 liner from Germany and as of April 2021, I’m one of the secretaries of the team. From the beginning, BangtanSubs has been crucial for me to get to know our amazing boys and their message, and it’s an honor and pleasure to be part of the team now!

When I’m not watching In The Soop or the Spring Day MV for the nth time or working at a bookstore, I’m most likely somewhere reading (make your passion your job, they said, and I did!), going down a Youtube documentary rabbit hole, listening to a podcast or audio book while cooking, or practicing my Korean.

hong-nhu
ADMIN / SECRETARY

Hi, I’m Hong-Nhu! I’m an ’84 liner from Washington DC (hooray for ARMY of all ages!) and a secretary for the team. One of the best things about joining this fandom is that I’ve learned that there is no age limit to loving BTS and being an ARMY.

When I’m not helping keep things organized for BangtanSubs, I’m busy adulting as a technology consultant. I really love cooking, arts & crafts, enjoying life in the city, and travel. I try to live each day like it’s an adventure ヾ(^-^)ノ

I love making new friends, so feel free to send me a message anytime!

melissa
TEAM COORDINATOR

Hello! My name is Melissa and I’m a Team Coordinator for BangtanSubs~

A friend of mine asked me to check out Blood, Sweat & Tears one fateful day in October 2016 and the rest, as they say, is history… [sigh]

BangtanSubs was crucial in helping me understand all things BTS, so I’m really glad to be a part of the team now and explore another way of expressing my love for Bangtan! 💜3💜

When I’m not fangirling over these 7 talented and lovely men, I’m a working ARMY who loves listening to new k-pop releases, going for concerts, watching endless amounts of late-night talk shows and food videos on YouTube.

TEAM COORDINATOR

Hello! I'm Sanjana, a ’00 liner from India! I've been an ARMY since 2017 and BangtanSubs played an important role in my journey with BTS, so I'm excited to have joined the team as a coordinator and to help in supporting our 7 lovely boys ♡

When I'm not gushing over BTS’ music and lyricism, you can find me reading novels, capturing moments in photographs, learning sign language, or petting stray cats!
XPXOXD ADMIN / SECRETARY

xpxoxd
ADMIN / SECRETARY / IMAGE TYPESETTER

Hello~! I’m Michelle, or XPXOXD on the internet, and I wear many different hats on the team! Bangtansubs has always been amazing at effectively sharing BTS' words and intentions, and I am grateful that I was able to join them in 2018 to help continue that goal.

I like answering questions, making art, and laying out text in pretty ways. My bias is BTS’ artistic direction.

Say hi on Twitter anytime! If you tell us you like this website, it adds days to my life. Let’s all keep doing our best!

aditi
KOREAN TRANSLATOR

Hello! I’m Aditi! I’ve been a fan since late 2015 but I joined the team in 2019 as a K-E translator.

Bangtan are my babies and I want to do whatever I can to support them, which is kinda why I joined the team- that and the fact that I wanted a way to keep in touch with my Korean.

I’m from India but I’m currently studying in Australia, before which I was also in Korea for a bit studying Korean. I’ve always loved languages and can speak around 5/6 of them and hopefully that number will increase in the future!

ali
KOREAN TRANSLATOR

Hello ^^ I’m Ali! I’ve been an ARMY since 2017 (YNWA era ㅠㅠ) and I joined the team as a k-e translator in 2022. I studied Korean for 5 years and love being able to use my skills to help bring ARMYs even closer to our boys! (Also now being able to watch their lives without subtitles is a big plus :D)

Hello! I’m Shookst (all the time, literally) and I’m from Malaysia!! I’m a M-E translator here at the wonderful BTS-trans team. ~\(≧▽≦)/~

I enjoy reading, writing, drawing and listening to music during my free time, and I am a certified couch potato. I would go out and walk around but I blame it all on the Malaysian heat (^∇^)I’m also OT7 all the way~ yay~~
yein KOREAN TRANSLATOR / TIMER

yein
KOREAN TRANSLATOR / TIMER

Hi~ my name is Yein and I’m a K-E translator at BTS-Trans! I’m a 97 liner and I joined the team in June 2017 because I wanted to help international fans understand BTS’ lyrics and messages better. I also recently became an admin for this wonderful team^^

My bias is either Suga or Jimin, depending on how I’m feeling! I’m Korean but I live in Switzerland, which means I’m fluent in French and German as well (and a bit of Spanish haha).

Music and books are the two things I cannot live without, and I want to publish my own book later on. I also enjoy sports (long walks, jogging, pilates), singing, and dancing (swing dance!!).

My favorite K-Pop artists are BTS (obviously), BtoB and BigBang (the three Bs!!!) and honestly I love every single member of BTS, so I keep getting bias-wrecked all the time. :'(

Hiya! My name is Brandy and a ‘95 liner from California! I recently joined the team as a timer. As soon as I joined, I felt like I was a part of something really great with the nicest and most hardworking team. I love that I can be a small piece of the 7 wonders of the world, BTS. Hehe. They are one of the only groups that I can honestly say that I love each and every member equally. I mean, how could I not?!

I enjoy taking photos, going to concerts, cooking, and getting emotional about every little thing Bangtan accomplishes.

TIMER / TYPESETTER

Hello! My name is Kel! Joined bts-trans/bangtansubs on Sept 2016. Position: Timer!

I don't really talk much (except when I rant on Twitter) but I do lurk a lot so don't be surprised if you see me somewhere I'm not usually supposed to be.

Been in this K-pop scene since 2007 and I warn everyone else that there is no way out so beware when entering! Became a BTS stan mid 2015, around Dope era.

My bias? Uhh... What is a bias list? ㅋㅋㅋ

Hey there! I’m Laura. I joined this team as a secretary in 2016, and picked up all kinds of other fun tasks along the way. ^^

Besides fangirling over BTS, I enjoy listening to and making music, playing video games, taking care of my plant jungle, and wandering around in nature with my cute doggo!

If you’re ever looking for someone to talk to, feel free to message me. I love meeting random strangers!~

TIMER / TYPESETTER

Hey all! I'm Lauren, a California girl with a deep love of tteokbokki, travel, and all things BTS. Like it was for so many people, BangtanSubs was my gateway into the world of these seven talented, hardworking men; after years of being a fan of their work, I was thrilled to join the team as a typesetter in 2019.

In my non-subbing time, I love video games, going to concerts, photography, and a good old-fashioned Netflix binge. I'm currently working on my Korean, and I'm also a pediatric nurse.

I'll always be thankful to Bangtan for the happiness and hope that they've brought into my life. If you feel the same, hit me up on Twitter; I love meeting other ARMY!💜
