“American Hustle Life” wasn’t exactly a fond memory.
Koreaboo
BTS‘S Jin guest in the last episode of KStarNextDoor4, hosted by Jonathan.
Jonathan took Jin on a trip down memory lane, reminding him of the time BTS made flyers to promote their performance. Jin remembered that it had been about two years since BTS debuted.
Jin mused, “Two years? I was scammed” shocking Jonathan. He referred Mnet as a “conman”, revealing that he was told the group was only visiting the US to work on music, not to film the reality show Busy American life.
I was told we would be working on music in the US. Then suddenly, Mnet… Right. It was this place. The scammer. I went there with Mnet. All right. Suddenly, they said it was the beginning of Busy American life.

Jonathan initially brought this up only to point out that while BTS may be world famous now, they started from the bottom.
Busy American life it’s an iconic part of BTS’ history. The members traveled to Los Angeles to learn more about hip-hop, but, in true variety show style, they were “kidnapped” before it was revealed to be a prank.
BTS American Busy Life (BTS’s American Hustle Life) is a BTS reality show broadcast on Mnet. It premiered on July 24, 2014 at 8 PM KST.
The show features members of BTS, who thought they were going to the United States to travel for a new album, but found that they were training with their new hip-hop tutors, Coolio, Tony Jones and Warren G.
