Kpop group BTS is taking over the world music industry, breaking barriers and stereotypes. The music market, which was so far dominated by western artists are forced to make space as the Korean wave is washing over. From topping different music charts to winning awards after awards, BTS is here to say.
The seven member boy group from South Korea is the most hyped up topic in the recent years. The band, which was formed under Bight entertainment, is smashing records after records. The group debuted in 2013 with their album Dark and Wild. Coming from a comparatively small company back them, BTS took time to be recognized even by the Korean citizen. The seven members consist of the group leader Kim Namjoon, Kim Seokjin, Min Yoonki, Jung Hoseok, Park Jimin, Kim Taehyung and Jeon Jungkook. What makes Kpop distinct is a number of elements which makes a performance worthwhile for the fans. Be it singing, rapping, dancing or visuals, a single performance has it all. BTS consists of four singers- Seokjin (Jin), Jimin, Taehyung (v) and Jungkook and three rappers- Namjoon (RM), Yoonki (Suga) and Hoseok (Jhope). Heartfelt singing, breathless rapping and stunning choreography together make the group stand out from the crowd.
What makes BTS even more special among their fans, also known as army, are the message they give out through their music. BTS has become the icon for the struggling youth. with the love yourself series, the band launched the love yourself campaign which not only got them names on the top charts around the world but also put them at the center of attention around the worldwide communities. In 2018, BTS became the first Kpop group to speak at the UN. The group also became the first Kpop group to win multiple awards at the billboards music award and other different awards around the world, and also winning a number of awards in their home country. BTS hold the highest number of Daesangs and also became the youngest recipients of civilian awards from the president of South Korea. In 2019, BTS achieved another milestone, becoming the first Korean act to present an award at the Grammys.
BTS collaborated with a number of artists like Steve Aoki, Ed Sheeran, Nikki Minaj and Halsey while they continue to sell out stadiums in a matter of minutes as a part of their tours. Even though BTS says that their impressive fan base is the reason for their success, many insist that they are the product of their success, while they continue to climb even more heights.
