BTS, Free Fire: characters of Bangtan members
On March 23, Garena Free Fire Global posted a video of the BTS Show Series, a series of episodes in which the Bangtan Boys played the video game in front of all their fans in preparation for the special collaboration.
BTS idols customized their Free Fire character with outfits and emotes. Namjoon chose Antonio because he seemed to be the strongest of them all, while Jin chose Joseph because his old-age looks gave him dexterity. Although Suga did not mention the name of her character, she explained that she liked her mysterious aura and J-Hope preferred to be D-Bee because of her natural outfit.

Jungkook chose his character for his clothing and the katana he uses, as he wanted to mix a modern and retro style at the same time. Taehyung preferred to be Álvaro, since he gave him a villainous aura and stressed that he prefers villains over protagonists. Ultimately, Jimin chose his character because he looked like a king.
