No, it's not normal trainee life. PD had them all living this way because it feeds that underdog narrative. Most of BTS grew up wealthy and/or decently. SG was the only one who lived in poverty for most of his life. SJ could have paid for everyone's meals, but probably wasn't allowed to. SJ is the only one who I think doesn't have an eating disorder, cause he's never been crazy thin, and he seems to eat what he wants, when he wants. The other BTS members talk very openly about dieting and starving themselves.
Additionally, according to sasaengs, JM was diagnosed with anorexia nervosa years ago. He's iron deficient, apparently and has to be on supplements to this day. Now, sasaengs say all kinds of stuff that isn't true, so who knows how legit this is. Especially since what I read was posted by a leaker (someone who buys sasaeng info and leaks it, or posts bogus info and claims it is a leak when it's not). But the only evidence it could be true is how severely underweight he used to be.
