BTS, also known as Bangtan Sonyeondan (which translates to Bulletproof Boy Scouts), is a South Korean boy band that has taken the world by storm with their dynamic blend of K-pop, hip-hop, R&B, and electronic music. Formed in 2013 under Big Hit Entertainment (now HYBE Corporation), the group consists of seven members: RM (Kim Namjoon), Jin (Kim Seokjin), Suga (Min Yoongi), J-Hope (Jung Hoseok), Jimin (Park Jimin), V (Kim Taehyung), and Jungkook (Jeon Jungkook). BTS quickly became known for their socially conscious lyrics, tight choreography, and authentic engagement with fans, aptly called ARMY. Their music often discusses themes of mental health, the troubles of school-age youth, loss, the journey towards loving oneself, and individualism.

BTS's international breakout can be traced to their Wings album in 2016, and they have since maintained an unprecedented global influence in the music industry. The group has multiple chart-topping albums and singles, achieving significant success on Billboard and other international charts. Their recent works show a continued evolution in their sound and reach, with songs like "Angel Pt. 2" and "Dreamers" from the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Official Soundtrack exemplifying their global appeal. Not just musical artists, BTS members are also known for their impact in fashion, philanthropy, and diplomatic fields, including their participation as UNICEF ambassadors and addressing the United Nations General Assembly. The group's diversity in themes, relentless innovation, and the strong bond they share with their fans continue to propel them to unprecedented heights in the international music scene.
