KIM TAEHYUNG, 김태형, 金泰亨 (Jin Tai Heng)
金 is the same as RM and Jin’s, means gold.
泰 means peace, stability, usually. It can also mean, when used in a different word such as 泰運, means lucky, or happiness. 泰國 is Thailand in Chinese, so as you can see it’s a very lucky word to even be used in a country’s name.
亨 means that something will go well, will be successful.
Taehyung’s name is more traditionally phrased. It connotes lots of luck and success, first with money, then with stability and happiness, as well as ensuring that everything one does will work out well in the end! Taehyung’s Sweet Night (which you should go stream) has just broken a lot of records, and Tae himself has as well, so this name is perfect for him!

JEON JUNGKOOK, 전정국, 田柾國 (Tian Jiu Guo)
田 literally means field or farm. Although it may seem simple this surname is quite important as farmers used to be the most important demographic in most countries.
柾 literally means straight grain. Another agriculture reference!
國 means country.
Jungkook’s name is a bit hard to decipher, but going with the historical context of agriculture and farming and the reference to “country”, this may refer to a person that is extremely important to a country. Someone that is necessary to a country’s growth and development. Which is fitting, because he’s the golden maknae of BTS! Reminds me of the time he called himself the prince of Busan.
