It was inspired by interviews with BTS about what kind of characters they wanted to create with LINE. ![]() The grey and white character Van – created by LINE Friends’ designers – is a space robot that protects BT21, and it’s said to represent ARMY. The LINE designers created Shooky’s character from these idea.

It can translate as ‘a pony’, ‘to fail’, and it’s the latter part of the word ‘hope’ (huimang).Ĭhimmy, the playful puppy in yellow represents the band’s overall image, according to Jimin. There are several meanings to ‘mang’ in Korean. His nose is heart-shaped, because J-Hope’s lips form a heart when he laughs.
