South Korean boy band BTS (RR: Bangtan Sonyeondan), popularly known as Bangtan Boys, was formed in 2010 and released their debut album, “Bangtan Boys,” in 2013.

Originally a hip-hop group, they’ve expanded their sound to include a variety of other styles. A common topic in their lyrics is a personal and social reflection on issues such as mental health in school-age children and adolescent transitions. In addition, they usually make literary and psychological allusions in their work and incorporate an alternate universe plot line.
It was in 2014 that BTS launched their first studio albums in Korean and Japanese after making their 2013 debut with the single album 2 Cool 4 Skool. It was the group’s second studio album, Wings (2016), that sold one million copies in South Korea for the first time. 2017 marked the year in which BTS broke multiple sales records and became a household name throughout the world’s music industry.
