Introduction
In June 2013, a South Korean boy band by the name of BTS debuted under the entertainment company Big Hit Entertainment.

As the anniversary of their debut approaches, it is a perfect time to reflect on the journey of this extraordinary group and the impact they have made on the music industry.
The Genesis of BTS
BTS, short for Bangtan Sonyeondan or “Bulletproof Boy Scouts,” was formed by Big Hit Entertainment with a vision of creating a group that would challenge the conventional norms of the K-pop industry. Comprised of seven members – RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook – each member brought a unique skill set, personality, and style to the group. From the start, BTS set out to address social issues, share personal stories, and connect authentically with their audience.
The Debut
On June 12, 2013, BTS released their debut single album “2 Cool 4 Skool” along with the title track “No More Dream.” Although they initially faced skepticism and minimal attention, the group’s energy, talent, and infectious enthusiasm caught the attention of a rapidly growing fan base. They soon gained recognition for their powerful stage presence, impressive rap verses, impeccable dance moves, and emotionally charged performances that resonated with fans on a deeper level.
Meteoric Rise to Worldwide Stardom
With each subsequent album release, BTS gained more international attention and acclaim. Their breakthrough came in 2016 with the release of “The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Pt. 2” and its lead single “Blood Sweat & Tears.” The album topped charts in Korea, while also making waves in the United States and other countries. This success continued with subsequent releases like “Wings,” “Love Yourself: Tear,” and “Map of the Soul: Persona.”
Breaking Barriers and Making History
BTS shattered several records, becoming the first K-pop group to top the Billboard 200 chart with their album “Love Yourself: Tear” in 2018. They also became the first Korean act to sell out stadiums and arenas around the world and were the first South Korean artists to win a Billboard Music Award. Their impact extended beyond music, as they actively engaged with social issues, frequently advocate for mental health, and partnered with organizations like UNICEF to create positive change.
A Global ARMY
One of the driving forces behind BTS’s success is their dedicated and passionate fanbase, known as the ARMY (Adorable Representative MC for Youth). The ARMY supports BTS wholeheartedly, organizing countless events, streaming their music, and spreading their message of love, acceptance, and self-worth. Through social media platforms, ARMY members from different countries connect, share their experiences, and express their gratitude towards the group.
