Some fans, however, may not know that BTS have already had two official webtoons. The first was BTS’s Hip Hop Monster. These lovable “monsters” are seen as the spiritual predecessors of BT21, and were also merchandised as plush dolls.

 

The second webtoon, WE ON: BE THE SHIELD, took place during BTS’s “Danger” era and was released from 2014 to 2015.

In this fantasy/action webtoon, BTS are high school students with supernatural powers that they must use to protect others and become Guardians of Earth. RM‘s role was the “scientist”, a genius character with supernatural brain power.

 

Jin was the “archer”…

 

was the “dark summoner”…

 

Jungkook was the “tanker”…

 

Jimin was “nature’s summoner”…

 

J-Hope was the “pilot”…

 

…and Suga was the “gladiator”.

 

Many fans had no idea this gem existed, and it’s taking them totally by surprise.

 

It’s been a long time since those who read WE ON: THE SHIELD have thought about it, but its reappearance is getting everyone hyped for whatever surprise “Smeraldo Books” has in store.
