| “ | Each of the BTS members has a distinct personality and this has allowed for the creation of highly refined characters called TinyTAN that are second to none in the famous character series. As well as the message of hope and comfort that BTS conveys, TinyTAN, his BTS persona, will also visit fans in various ways as healing content to support everyone's dreams. | ” |
TinyTAN (formerly known as BTS Character) are characters based on BTS and created by Big Hit Music. The brand was launched on October 13, 2019 via Big Hit Official Merch on Twitter as part of the exclusive merch of the BTS Pop-Up: House of BTS.[1]
TinyTAN are personalized to each individual in the group based on personality, distinct characteristic, and style.
The characters outfits and hairstyle was originally based on the "IDOL" music video, but in 2020 the characters were launched with the looks from the "MIC Drop" music video.[2]
A music video based on "MIC Drop" was released in the first half of 2020, and four short animated episodes in the second half.[2]
TinyTAN characters have been revamped to look a lot more realistic. Although they are animated, each character is intricately designed to mimic facial expressions and show a striking resemblance with our real BTS members.[3]
Big Hit Entertainment plans to introduce TinyTAN in various ways, including figures, other items and media content. Fan commerce platform Weverse Shop will reveal TinyTAN themed products and release a sequel containing new stories later this year. In addition to being chosen as a model for P&G Downey Adorable, TinyTAN will collaborate with several brands and licensing.[4]
