There is little doubt that it has been a long yet amazing journey for BTS. The idols that had debuted back in 2013 is now the biggest boy group in the world. However, that doesn't mean that RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook have forgotten all about their past. After all, they recently performed some of their older songs during the 2019 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) and the members reflected on what it was like to revisit the hits from the past.

A new video uploaded on the BangtanTV YouTube channel offered a behind-the-scenes look at BTS' preparations for MAMA 2019. Since the event took place on December 4, Jin kept joking about how his fellow members should surprise him with a cake for his birthday the following day. At one point, Kim Seokjin told J-Hope that he wanted a chocolate cake for his birthday. Jung Hoseok joked back that he will be getting the vocalist's favorite "creme fraiche" cake and Jin pointed out that he didn't like creme fraiche.

BTS would later take the red carpet with a little surprise for Jin. The other members brought in a special birthday hat for Kim Seokjin to wear on the red carpet and the vocalist proudly wore it as the idols were being interviewed.

In addition to sweeping the major awards at MAMA 2019, BTS also performed a medley that included some of their older songs as well as their newer ones from the album Map of the Soul: Persona. Interestingly, the members had different things to say about performing songs like 'N.O.' and 'We Are Bulletproof Pt. 2'. For instance, J-Hope stated that although he believes it was a treat for fans, he still felt that he could have done more during the performance.

V had an interesting perspective about revisiting their old choreographies. Kim Taehyung pointed out that when they first performed those songs in the past, the members were mostly concerned about delivering an "air-tight" performance. However, their recent performance was more about showing the fans the "Today's BTS" version of their songs.

BTS later made history at MAMA 2019 by taking home all four daesangs and were also the most awarded of the night with 9 awards. Their awards included Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, Album of the Year, Worldwide Icon of the Year, Best Male Group, Best Dance Performance - Male Group, Best Music Video, Worldwide Fans' Choice, and Qoo10 Favorite Male Artist.
