BTS

BTS, an acronym for Bangtan Sonyeondan (or the Bangtan Boys), is a seven-member South Korean group that debuted in 2013 under Big Hit Entertainment. The septet—comprising RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook—is known for co-writing and producing much of their own material. While they began as a hip-hop-oriented group, their sound has expanded to include a wide range of genres, including pop, R&B, and EDM.

The group’s discography is noted for its focus on personal and social commentary. Their lyrics frequently explore themes such as mental health, the challenges of youth, loss, and the journey toward self-love. BTS often incorporates literary references and psychological concepts into their work, creating an intricate "alternative universe" storyline that connects their music videos and promotional materials. This conceptual depth, combined with high-energy live performances, has helped them build a massive global following.
