Who were the most popular BTS members in 2013-2015?

I distinctly remember it was Jimin.

Since debut it has always been jungkok.

I actually followed their music sincd debut (during BTS and BAP days)

He wasnt the golden maknae for nothing

He was having many lines - both sing and rap lines. He looked good,and now even more handsome

Oh. I thought V was the most popular member.

I was watching WIN in 2013. I participated in WIN War. It was Jimin. idk if V became more popular 2014-5 though.

From what I heard, BTS's pre debut fans were mostly fans of J-hope's dance group, Neutron.

WIN is Winner/ikon survival show?

Yes

It's V & Jungkook. Korean call bts as 뷔국소년탄 during their early days

When I look at old BTS videos, bangtan bombs, Jungkook is very shy and Jin is rather quiet. RM and V seems like the most popular in BTS rookie era. Was Jimin popular then? He was iconic in 2014 MAma but until 2015 year end award shows, was not as popular as he is now.

It's different within the fandom and outside of it. RM had always gotten vocal props for his rapping and skills outside of the fandom, quite similar to how many nonfans have respect for Soyeon. (not really the best comparison but it's the closest example in 4th gen kpop)

Kinda similar w Jhope, people who saw BTS live (debut stage..etc) always came out a fan of Jhope.

It was overall always maknae line though. V was probably the most popular in the usual kpop stan demographic and Jimin/JK were known in other areas. I'd say JK blew up a bit after debut as he was really young when he debuted so some older people were slightly uncomfortable stanning him.

Based on what I heard, it's Jimin and then Jungkook. But overall, the maknae line was the most popular similar to now.

jimin and jungkook but for a period of time it was definitely V

I think it's Jimin, then V and Jungkook. Since Jungkook was only 16 years old, many people only liked him as the baby of the group. But after he grew taller and puberty hit with full force, he soon caught up with the others.

Also depends on the country, I think.

Seems to me Jimin is most popular in South Korea, but the other two of the maknae line are most popular in other places.

Seems to me Jungkook is most popular in the west now.
