BTS

TS, also known as Bangtan Sonyeondan ("Bulletproof Boy Scouts") and Beyond The Scene, is a South Korean music group formed by RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook. Debuting on June 13, 2013, under HYBE Corporation (formerly Big Hit Entertainment), BTS transformed from an emerging hip-hop group into one of the most successful and influential music acts in history.

Known for blending pop, hip-hop, R&B, EDM, and alternative influences, BTS built a global fanbase through deeply personal lyrics addressing youth, mental health, self-love, ambition, and social issues. Their groundbreaking success helped propel Korean popular music onto the global stage, leading to sold-out stadium tours, multiple chart-topping albums, and unprecedented international recognition.

The group became the first Korean act to achieve numerous milestones on the U.S. music charts, including multiple No. 1 albums and singles on the Billboard charts. Their worldwide influence extends beyond music through philanthropy, cultural diplomacy, and partnerships with major global organizations, including United Nations. BTS has received countless awards and honors while inspiring millions of fans known as ARMY across the world.

Widely regarded as one of the defining music groups of the 21st century, BTS continues to leave an enduring legacy through their artistry, innovation, cultural impact, and message of hope, resilience, and self-acceptance.
