The group initially formed as teenagers under Big Hit Entertainment and released their debut single album, 2 Cool 4 Skool (2013). Subsequent work such as their first U.S. Billboard 200 entries The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Part 2 (2015), The Most Beautiful Moment in Life: Young Forever (2016), and Wings (2016) helped establish BTS' reputation as a socially conscious group. Wings became BTS' first album to sell one million copies in South Korea. By 2017, BTS crossed into the international music market, leading the Korean Wave into the United States and breaking numerous sales records, becoming the first Korean group to receive a certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) with their single "Mic Drop". The band is the first Korean act to top the U.S. Billboard 200 with their studio album Love Yourself: Tear (2018) and have since hit the top of the U.S. charts with their albums Love Yourself: Answer (2018) and Map of the Soul: Persona (2019), making BTS the first group since The Beatles to earn three number one albums in less than a year, and the fastest to earn three number one albums since The Monkees in 1967. Love Yourself: Answer also broke South Korea's Gaon Album Chart's all-time monthly record previously set by Love Yourself: Tear and became the first Korean album certified Gold in the United States.
According to Gaon Music Chart, BTS has sold fifteen million albums domestically and is the best-selling artist to debut in the 2010s. They hold the best-selling album in Korean history with Map of the Soul: Persona. BTS were the second best-selling artists of 2018 worldwide according to the IFPI's Global Artist Chart, as well as the only non-English speaking artist to enter the chart. The group has won Top Social Artist three years in a row and Top Duo/Group at the 26th Billboard Music Awards. Featured on Time's international cover as "Next Generation Leaders", BTS has appeared in the magazine's 25 most influential people on the internet (2017–2019) and Time's 100 most influential people in the world (2019), with the outlet giving them the nickname 'Princes of Pop'. Forbes Korea named BTS the most influential celebrities of Korea in 2018, and BTS ranked 43rd in the Forbes Celebrity 100 (2019) as one of the world's top-earning celebrities. During their 2019 Love Yourself World Tour, BTS became the first Asian artist ever to headline and sell out Wembley Stadium and broke the record for the single highest-grossing engagement in Rose Bowl Stadium history. BTS are worth more than $4.65 billion to South Korea's economy each year, attracting one in every 13 foreign tourists that visit the country, and are cited as one of the key acts boosting global music sales to $19 billion in 2018, a figure not seen since 2006 after digital purchases gained momentum.
Following the establishment of their Love Myself anti-violence campaign in partnership with UNICEF, BTS addressed the United Nations 73rd General Assembly and became the youngest ever recipients of the Order of Cultural Merit from the President of South Korea due to their contributions in spreading Korean culture and language.

주위를 둘러 볼 틈 없이
어느새 나는 가족의 자랑이 됐고
어느 정도 성공을 했어
사춘기라 말하는 그쯤
생각이 나네 문득
그 당시 나는 어렸고 무서울 게 없었지
몇 번의 좌절 그건 아무것도 아녀
달라진 거라곤 그때에 비해 조금 커진 키와
동 나이대에 비해 조금 성숙해진 시야
남산동의 지하 작업실에서부터
압구정까지 깔아 놓은 내 beat 청춘의 출처
주위 모두 말했지 오버하지마
음악 한답시고 깝치면 집안 거덜내니까
그때부터 신경 안 썼지 누가 뭐라든지
그저 내 꼴린대로 내 소신대로 살아갈 뿐
니가 보기엔 지금 난 어떨 것 같냐
내가 보기엔 어떨 것 같아?
내가 망하길 기도했던 몇몇 놈에게 물을게
집안 거덜 낸 것 같냐 새꺄
I don't give a shit, I don't give a fuck
하루 수백 번 입버릇처럼 말했던 '내게서 신경 꺼'
실패나 좌절 맛보고 고개 숙여도 돼
우리는 아직 젊고 어려 걱정 붙들어매
구르지 않는 돌에는
필시 끼기 마련이거든 이끼
돌아갈 수 없다면 직진
실수 따윈 모두 다 잊길
Never mind
쉽진 않지만 가슴에 새겨놔
부딪힐 것 같으면 더 세게 밟아 임마
Never mind, never mind
그 어떤 가시밭 길이라도 뛰어가
Never mind, never mind
세상엔 니가 어쩔 수 없는 일도 많아
You better
Never mind, never mind
부딪힐 것 같으면 더 세게 밟아 임마
Never mind, never mind
포기하기에는 우린 아직 젊고 어려 임마
Never mind
부딪힐 것 같으면 더 세게 밟아 임마
부딪힐 것 같으면 더 세게 밟아 임마
Never mind
The song 'INTRO: Never Mind' by BTS is a motivational anthem about perseverance and never giving up. The lyrics describe the struggles and challenges faced by the members in their youth, as they pursued their dreams of becoming successful musicians. The opening lines "I ran forward only looking ahead / without looking around, I became my family's pride and somewhat successful" suggests the members' determination to succeed and how they focused solely on their goals, without getting distracted by their surroundings.
The chorus 'Never Mind' is a reminder to never give up, even when faced with obstacles or failures. The lines "If you can't return, go straight / Forget all your mistakes, Never Mind" encourages listeners to keep pushing forward and not dwell on past failures. The powerful message of the song is reinforced through the strong beat and the repetition of the phrase 'never mind.' The lyrics also touch upon how, in pursuing their dreams, the members faced criticism and skepticism from those around them, but they learned to ignore the naysayers and stay true to themselves.
Overall, 'INTRO: Never Mind' serves as a testament to BTS's journey and the hardships they overcame to achieve their success. It is also a source of inspiration for listeners who may be going through similar struggles and need a reminder to never give up on their dreams.

앞만 보고 달렸지
I ran forward without looking around
주위를 둘러 볼 틈 없이
Without any chance to look around me
어느새 나는 가족의 자랑이 됐고
Suddenly, I became a source of pride for my family
어느 정도 성공을 했어
I achieved a certain level of success
사춘기라 말하는 그쯤
Around the time when people called it puberty
생각이 나네 문득
I suddenly recalled
그 당시 나는 어렸고 무서울 게 없었지
At that time, I was young and fearless
몇 번의 좌절 그건 아무것도 아녀
A few failures mean nothing
달라진 거라곤 그때에 비해 조금 커진 키와
The only thing that's changed is that I've grown a bit taller than back then
동 나이대에 비해 조금 성숙해진 시야
My perspective has matured a bit compared to my peers
남산동의 지하 작업실에서부터
From the underground studio in Namsan-dong
압구정까지 깔아 놓은 내 beat 청춘의 출처
My beats, which I've laid out all the way to Apgujeong, the source of my youth
주위 모두 말했지 오버하지마
Everyone around me said, don't go overboard
음악 한답시고 깝치면 집안 거덜내니까
If you act like music is everything, you'll cause trouble at home
그때부터 신경 안 썼지 누가 뭐라든지
Since then, I haven't cared what anyone says
그저 내 꼴린대로 내 소신대로 살아갈 뿐
I just live according to my own convictions
니가 보기엔 지금 난 어떨 것 같냐
What do you think of me now?
내가 보기엔 어떨 것 같아?
What do I think of myself?
내가 망하길 기도했던 몇몇 놈에게 물을게
I'll ask those who prayed for my failure
집안 거덜 낸 것 같냐 새꺄
Does it seem like I caused trouble at home?
I don't give a shit, I don't give a fuck
I don't care at all
하루 수백 번 입버릇처럼 말했던 '내게서 신경 꺼'
'Turn off your concern for me,' a phrase I repeated hundreds of times a day
실패나 좌절 맛보고 고개 숙여도 돼
Even if I taste failure or setbacks and hang my head, it's okay
우리는 아직 젊고 어려 걱정 붙들어매
We're still young, so don't worry and be held back
구르지 않는 돌에는 필시 끼기 마련이거든 이끼
Moss inevitably grows on a stone that doesn't roll
돌아갈 수 없다면 직진
If we can't go back, then move forward
실수 따윈 모두 다 잊길
Forget all the mistakes
Never mind
Never mind
쉽진 않지만 가슴에 새겨놔
It's not easy, but engrave it in your heart
부딪힐 것 같으면 더 세게 밟아 임마
If you feel like you're going to crash, step on it harder
Never mind, never mind
Never mind, never mind
그 어떤 가시밭 길이라도 뛰어가
Jump over any thorny path
세상엔 니가 어쩔 수 없는 일도 많아
In this world, there are things you can't control
You better
You better
포기하기에는 우린 아직 젊고 어려 임마
We're still young and lively to give up
Never mind
Never mind
부딪힐 것 같으면 더 세게 밟아 임마
If you feel like you're going to crash, step on it harder
Never mind, never mind
Never mind, never mind
