As a lifelong ARMY, I’ve always imagined what BTS would look like as anime characters. Jungkook with those big sparkly eyes? Taehyung with his ethereal visuals drawn in full anime glory? The thought alone makes my heart flutter.
So when I discovered that Drawever gives you 10 free credits just for signing up — and converting one photo costs only 1 credit — I immediately knew what I had to do. Seven members, seven credits. I had three credits to spare.
Here’s how every single member turned out, and honestly? I’m still not over it.
How I Did It
The whole process took me less than 10 minutes for all seven members:
- Opened Drawever’s Photo to Anime tool
- Uploaded each member’s photo one at a time
- Selected the Anime style
- Downloaded each result
No app to install, no complicated settings to tweak. Just upload, convert, and scream at how good it looks.
Total cost: 7 credits out of the 10 free ones. I still have 3 left for my own selfie (and maybe my cat).
1. Jung Kook — The Golden Maknae Goes Full Anime Protagonist
Of course I started with Jungkook. The man already looks like he stepped out of an anime, so I had high expectations — and Drawever absolutely delivered.
His sharp jawline, those doe eyes, the effortlessly cool expression — everything translated perfectly into anime style. He genuinely looks like the main character of a shonen series who’d have the entire fandom in a chokehold (so… exactly like real life, then).
2. V — Taehyung Was Born to Be an Anime Character
If anyone in BTS was destined for the anime treatment, it’s Kim Taehyung. His duality — soft and ethereal one moment, intense and smouldering the next — is exactly the kind of energy anime characters are built on.
The AI captured his distinctive features beautifully — those deep, expressive eyes and that sculpted face structure. He looks like a character from a high-budget anime film. Miyazaki himself couldn’t have designed a more stunning face. I may have set this as my phone wallpaper immediately. No regrets.
3. Jimin — Anime Jimin Is Everything I Dreamed Of
Park Jimin’s delicate features and graceful energy are a perfect match for anime art. His softer facial structure, crescent-moon eyes, and overall elegance? Chef’s kiss in anime form.
The conversion brought out that angelic quality Jimin carries so naturally. He looks like a character who’d be both the most beloved and the most powerful in any anime universe. The kind of character that gets a million fan edits — which, come to think of it, is already the case in real life.
4. Suga — Min Yoongi Hits Different in Anime
Yoongi’s cool, unbothered aura translates into anime in the best way possible. He already gives off cat-like, mysterious anime character energy on a daily basis, and the AI just made it official.
That sharp gaze, the slightly intense expression — anime Yoongi looks like the genius strategist character who barely speaks but drops the most devastating lines. Absolutely on brand. This one felt almost unfair because the source material was already so close to being anime.
5. RM — Leader Line Never Looked So Good
Kim Namjoon’s intelligent, thoughtful presence comes through even in anime form. There’s a depth in the eyes and a quiet confidence in the expression that Drawever’s AI picked up on perfectly.
Anime Namjoon looks like the leader of an elite squad in a sci-fi anime — the one who always has a plan and delivers monologues that make you cry at 2 AM. His strong features and dimples survived the anime-fication beautifully. The intellectual energy is fully intact.
6. Jin — Worldwide Handsome, Now in Anime
Kim Seokjin’s visuals are legendary even in real life, so naturally I was curious how the anime conversion would handle actual perfection. Spoiler: it handled it just fine.
Anime Jin looks like the princely love interest in a romance anime that would break viewing records. Those broad shoulders, that perfectly proportioned face — the AI preserved the “worldwide handsome” energy in full. He’d be the character everyone writes fan fiction about (again, just like real life).
7. j-hope — Jung Hoseok’s Sunshine Energy in Anime Form
Saving our sunshine for last. Hoseok’s bright, radiant energy is something I wasn’t sure anime style could fully capture — but I was so wrong.
The warmth in his expression, the sharp jawline, the overall vibe — anime Hoseok radiates main character energy. He looks like the type of anime character who starts as the comic relief but ends up being the most powerful fighter on the team. Which is basically j-hope’s entire career arc.
Why This Worked So Well
A few things made these conversions turn out as clean as they did:
- High-quality source photos — I picked clear, well-lit photos of each member where their face was the main focus
- Drawever’s anime style is specifically trained for this kind of portrait-to-anime conversion — it preserves likeness while genuinely transforming the art style
- Each conversion used just 1 credit — with 10 free credits on signup, I had more than enough for all 7 members
Try It Yourself, ARMY
If you’ve ever wanted to see your bias (or the whole group) in anime form, Drawever’s Photo to Anime tool makes it ridiculously easy. You get 10 free credits the moment you open the tool — that’s enough for all 7 members with 3 to spare for your own photo.
The whole process takes seconds per photo. No downloads, no complicated setup, no watermarks.
Go turn your bias into an anime protagonist. You know you want to. 💜
