Which member motivated Bang Si Hyuk to create the group BTS?

In an interview withXports Newson November 17, Bang PD revealed why and how he came to create the hit K-pop group. He explained,"The first thing that motivated me to create BTS was leaderRap Monster. I began thinking that I need to make a hip-hop group after listening to Rap Monster's rap, and then I gathered the members. I also believed that this group would not simply become an idol group who does hip-hop, but a group where each member can tell their individual stories. This thought of mine was reflected in the music of BTS and it still does today."
