Tae has said that he almost didn’t make it into the group because his skills were not that good but the members helped him out and he debuted. so i think that was the reason why they came up with this “secret member/hidden weapon” or whatever because they weren’t sure about him.
and yes meanwhile they all were training and doing pre debut logs, he wasn’t allowed to be on the screen: “I was really sad when I couldn’t film any logs (videos that the Bangtan members take themselves and upload onto their blog). I followed the hyungs whenever they filmed a log, but couldn’t actually upload any of mine on the blog. I sat by myself and said “It’s this month and this date 2013, today I did this, this won’t go on the blog, right? I’m sad.” I was also there when they filmed their group log, it’s just that I wasn’t shown on screen - I was actually standing by the trashcan. When I was revealed as a Bangtan member, I received exactly one letter. I was so happy. I didn’t sleep until 4:00 am and read it about fifteen times. I kept showing it off to the hyungs. (this sweet boy т-т)” you can watch his first log here -> x he talks about pre debut stuff there too
