BTS is a K-POP boy group formed by Big Hit Entertainment. The members consist of 7 members: RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hoseok, V, Jimin, Jungkook.
The name BTS stands for Bangtan Sonyeondan. In English, it has a literal meaning of Bulletproof Boy Scouts.
It reflects the group’s aim to block out bullets of criticisms, stereotypes, and expectations that often hit young people.
Career
K-pop group BTS was first formed in 2010 with only 3 members: RM, Suga, and J-Hope. The 3 of them were supposed to form a hip hop group under Big Hit Entertainment.
The group was planned to have their debut in 2011 featuring songs by the like of 2AM and Lee Seung-gi.
The debut was postponed and BTS eventually went into the direction of a more traditional group instead. The group final lineup consists of RM, Suga, J-Hope, Jin, Jimin, V, and Jungkook.
As part of their new brand identity, as of July 2017 BTS also stand for Beyond the Scene. With this name, they are ready to go beyond the realities they are facing.
The 7 man group finally released their debut single album 2 Cool 4 Skool along with the lead single No More Dream on June 2013.
The release was not a major hit, selling only 24.000 copies in 2013. Even though it was not a very successful debut, critics could see the group’s potential especially with their stage presence.
BTS finally got their major breakthrough with the release of 2016 studio album Wings. It was a huge commercial success with more than 500.000 copies on first week.
Wings also became BTS first million seller album, with sales reaching over 1,5 million copies in South Korea that year.
On Billboard 200 chart, Wings debuted at number 26. BTS also topped the Billboard Social 50 chart that month, becoming the first Korean group to do so.
The lead single Blood Sweat & Tears also had massive success. It got a music chart all-kill in South Korea and earned BTS their first number one hit on weekly Gaon Digital Chart.
BTS reached new high of success with the release of Love Yourself series. The series began with EP Love Yourself: Her on September 2017.
They followed it up with the released of Love Yourself: Tear. The studio album is one of their most successful albums.
Love Yourself: Tear debuted on top of the Billboard 200 with 135.000 album-equivalent units, including 100.000 pure sales.
The single Fake Love also reached number 10 on Billboard Hot 100, becoming BTS’ first top ten hit.
Over the year, BTS continues to break new records both domestically and internationally.
They had released several EP and studio albums, such as Map of the Soul: Persona (2019), Map of the Soul: 7 (2020), and Be (2020).
To reach more international audience, the group had also released two English language singles titled Dynamite (2020) and Butter (2021).
Both songs managed to debut at number 1 on Billboard Hot 100.
BTS came back with an album on June 2022, Proof. The album became an anthology album to look back in honor of the group’s 9-year career.
In October 2022, it was announced that the group will go on an indefinite hiatus due to military service.
Jin enlisted as an active duty soldier on December 13, 2022.
