According to the members, the band’s hair dressers, makeup team and managers did not join them on the trip.

Though the members faced language barriers and trouble between camera staff in the middle of the trip, BTS members said they had fun on their first trip together.

“BTS Bon Voyage” will be available through the premium online streaming service provider V Live + in July.

The clip involving a 10-minute lesson from Suwoong featured bandmates Sungjun and Onejunn, not frequent selfie-takers,
Suwoong said the first tip for a good selfie was “never to adjust the original selfie with an app.” Instead, Suwoong uses the filter function of Camera 360. His favorite is the “rosy” filter.

Also, Suwoong stressed the importance of taking advantage of abundant light. Also, keeping enough distance between yourself and the camera was vital for a good selfie, he said.

At the end of the lesson, Sungjun and Onejunn promised Suwoong that he would take at least one selfie a week and upload it to his social networking accounts.
