BTS 

BTS, also known as Bangtan Sonyeondan or Beyond the Scene, is a seven-member South Korean group formed by BigHit Entertainment (now HYBE) consisting of RM (Kim Namjoon), Jin (Kim Seokjin), Suga (Min Yoongi), J-Hope (Jung Hoseok), Jimin (Park Jimin), V (Kim Taehyung), and Jungkook (Jeon Jungkook). BTS debuted in 2013 with the single album 2 Cool 4 Skool, led by the title track “No More Dream,” and followed the School Trilogy with O!RUL8,2? (“N.O”) and 2 Cool 4 Skool promotions, then expanded into the Skool Luv Affair era (“Boy In Luv”) and Dark & Wild (“Danger”). Their career evolved through the HYYH (The Most Beautiful Moment in Life) series with Part 1 (“I Need U”), Part 2 (“Run”), and Young Forever (“Fire”), which marked a turning point in popularity. The Wings album (“Blood Sweat & Tears”) and its repackage You Never Walk Alone (“Spring Day”) explored personal growth, followed by the Love Yourself trilogy: Her (“DNA”), Tear (“Fake Love”), and Answer (“IDOL”). BTS continued with Map of the Soul: Persona (“Boy With Luv”), Map of the Soul: 7 (“ON”), and their English-language global hits “Dynamite,” “Butter,” and “Permission to Dance,” before releasing the anthology Proof with “Yet to Come.” Alongside music, BTS launched BT21, a character brand created with LINE FRIENDS, where each member designed a character reflecting their personality: RM’s Koya, Jin’s RJ, Suga’s Shooky, J-Hope’s Mang, Jimin’s Chimmy, V’s Tata, Jungkook’s Cooky, and the robot UNIVERSTAR BT21, which became a global merchandising and storytelling project. BTS are also known for special projects such as solo mixtapes and albums (RM’s mono and Indigo, Suga’s Agust D, D-2, and D-DAY, J-Hope’s Hope World and Jack In The Box, Jimin’s FACE, V’s Layover, Jungkook’s GOLDEN, and Jin’s single projects), the annual BTS Festa, Bon Voyage and In the SOOP reality series, the Love Myself campaign with UNICEF, virtual concerts, webtoons like Save Me, and extensive world tours, making BTS a cultural phenomenon that blends music, storytelling, and global social impact in one continuous artistic journey.
