Since their debut in 2013, K-pop boy band BTS has taken the world by storm. With their innovative music and dynamic performances, they have transcended language barriers and captured the hearts of millions. The group, comprised of RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook, has released nine albums and sold over 20 million copies. BTS made history as the first South Korean group to reach the top of Billboard's Global 200 and U.S. Hot 100 lists, achieving four number-one albums in less than two years, a feat not seen since the Beatles.
The members of BTS are not just talented performers; they are also songwriters and producers, often contributing to their own music. Their songs tackle important themes such as mental health, grief, and self-acceptance. With their 2020 album Be, they addressed the challenges of life during the COVID-19 pandemic. Their rise to fame was marked by their groundbreaking performance on Saturday Night Live in 2019, which introduced them to an even broader audience.
