-Introduction-
BTS, also known as Bangtan Boys (Hangul: 방탄소년단; RR: Bangtan Sonyeondan; lit. Bulletproof Boy Scouts), is a seven-member South Korean boy group formed by Big Hit Entertainment.
They debuted on June 13, 2013, with the song "No More Dream" from their first album, 2 Cool 4 Skool, for which they won several "New Artist of the Year" awards including those at the 2013 MelOn Music Awards and Golden Disk Awards, and the 2014 Seoul Music Awards. A year after their debut, they received major bonsang awards for their subsequent albums Dark & Wild and The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Part 1.
Known for their large international fanbase, having performed in Asia, Europe, Australia, North America, and South America, their outstanding performances won them the Best World Performer award in the 2015 Mnet Asian Music Awards. Their 2015 album The Most Beautiful Moment In Life, Part 2 charted at number one on the Billboard World Albums Chart and remained there for multiple weeks, becoming the first K-Pop act to achieve that feat.
BTS are known for their large social media presence, and were named by Forbes as the most retweeted artist on Twitter in March 2016. Following that, Twitter launched its first ever K-Pop Twitter emoji featuring BTS.
-Artistry and Musical Influences-
The group's musical style and image ranges from a tough, "bad boy" image to a more youthful image, nevertheless mainly influenced by hip hop and R&B. MTV's Corynn Smith stated that BTS has incorporated hip hop beats and rock-inspired elements for their singles: "Danger" and "Boy in Luv (상남자)". BTS has been labelled as "K-pop's Social Conscience" by Jeff Benjamin from Fuse, who wrote that the group has found "a way to speak honestly about topics they deem important, even in a conservative society."
Through their many releases, BTS has tackled school bullying, the pursuit of happiness and rejecting society's ideals in their lyrics. They play an active role producing their music, and all members participate in the musical and lyrical composition of their songs.
