It's no secret that BTS has a close relationship with their boss Bang Shi Hyuk. After all, the CEO of Big Hit Entertainment has mentored the biggest boy band in the world for almost a decade. Interestingly, RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook are so comfortable with Bang PD-nim that they sometimes poke fun at their boss. Amazingly, it's a trait that the boys have passed on to TXT's Yeonjun, who decided to troll Hitman Bang with a famous BTS meme.
First, let's explain the origins of the meme. Back in 2011, Bang Shi Hyuk recorded a Hit It audition ment that was uploaded to the official Big Hit Entertainment YouTube channel. The ment would eventually draw in the future members of BTS, who in turn were so amused with Hitman Bang's message that they would copy his speech at almost any given moment. Eventually, the whole "Ayo Hitman Bang" spiel became a long-running gag for Bangtan Sonyeondan.
Not surprisingly, BTS fans would eventually pick up on the joke and adopt it to become one of the most popular memes in the fandom. Although Armys might sometimes forget about the joke, there are times when it is brought up in the internet. Amazingly, the "Ayo Hitman Bang" spiel has been resurrected once again but it isn't because of BTS. This time, the guilty party is Yeonjun of TXT.
TXT recently joined labelmates BTS and Lee Hyun for a photoshoot celebrating the 15th anniversary of Big Hit Entertainment. A behind-the-scenes look at the photoshoot has been shared on the the official Big Hit YouTube channel and it features the idols happily interacting with one another. There are interviews and jokes between the men, who are clearly enjoying their time with each other. In the end of the video, each artist shared their thoughts on the photoshoot but Yeonjun had other things in mind.
At first, Yeonjun spoke about having a great time working with his seniors BTS and Lee Hyun. He then stated that he hopes that the artists of Big Hit Entertainment will enjoy continued success in 2020. After a few moments, the TXT fake maknae began running out of things to say so he started reciting the "Ayo Hitman Bang" spiel. His hilarious speech starts at the 20:40 mark in the video below.
TXT are expected to embark on their first world tour later in 2020.
