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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
시선을 낮추고 어디든 막 zoom
지금 나와 let me fly to my
Get me outta my blues
And now I'm feelin' brand new
Everyday
답답해 미치겠어
누가 저 시계를 좀 돌려줘
올해 다 뺏겼어
아직 난 침대 속
거북해 속이
It's killin' me slowly nah
Anyway
떠나고파 any way
뭐 방법이 없어
이 방이 내 전부
그럼 뭐 여길
내 세상으로 바꿔보지 뭐 yeah
떠나볼까 let me fly to my room
시선을 낮추고 어디든 막 zoom
지금 나와 let me fly to my room
Get me outta my blues
And now I'm feelin' brand new
Everywhere
여기가 이랬나 싶어
갑자기 낯선 이 풍경
괜히 추억에 잠겨
오래된 책상도 달라진 햇빛도
특별해 보이네
I'm little less lonely nah
Better way
I just found a better way
Sometimes we get to know (get to know)
Broken is beautiful
가벼워 몸이
날아가 멀리
This thing so surreal, yeah
떠나볼까 let me fly to my room
시선을 낮추고 어디든 막 zoom
지금 나와 let me fly to my room
Get me outta my blues
And now I'm feelin' brand new
이 방은 너무 작지
그래 나의 꿈을 담기에 (ya ya ya ya)
침대 그 위로 착지
여기가 제일 안전해
어쩜 기쁨도 슬픔도 어떤 감정도
여긴 그저 받아주네 (ya ya ya ya)
때론 이 방이 감정의 쓰레기통이 돼도
날 안아주네
또 나를 반겨주네
사람들 같은 내방 toy들
마치 시내를 나온 듯이 북적여 TV 소리는
생각은 생각이 바꾸면 돼
여긴 나만 즐길 수 있는 travel
배달음식은 three star
낙관적으로 채워봐, I'm full
떠나볼까 let me fly to my
시선을 낮추고 어디든 막 zoom
지금 나와 let me fly to my
Get me outta my blues
And now I'm feelin' brand new, ah whoa

지금 나와 let me fly to my room
Get me outta my blues
And now I'm feelin' brand new

Get me outta my blues

The song 내 방을 여행하는 법, or "Fly to My Room" in English, by BTS talks about feeling trapped in one's own space and wanting to escape. The lyrics talk about feeling stuck and suffocated, seeking respite by dreaming of travel and adventure. The chorus speaks to the desire to break free from the confines of daily life and the mental struggles that come with it. The song encourages the listener to find creative ways to escape these feelings and to find beauty even in the brokenness.
In the first verse, the lyrics suggest that the only way to escape these feelings is to lower one's gaze, look inward, and find a way to "zoom" away to a new world. The second verse highlights the change in perspective that can come with travel, even if it's just through the eyes of the mind. The last verse talks about finding comfort in one's own space and the freedom to feel all emotions, even if they are uncomfortable.
Overall, "Fly to My Room" is a powerful anthem for anyone feeling stuck in their own life, struggling with mental health, or desiring a change of scenery. It encourages the listener to find creative ways to break free and see the beauty in the world, even when it feels impossible.

This is it. This is the moment I get it.
I’ve been slowly falling for this group over the last couple months - learning more about and loving their older stuff and being amazed and delighted with each new song they release - seeing how hard-working and brilliant and talented each of these seven men are and how they each have a unique and beautiful voice and story and style
But then I happened to stumble across this song and…… just…..
I don’t have words.
No one has ever put into words the way I feel about running away to my room before.
All the little details and the melancholy delight of it…
Traveling anywhere I want to in this tiny attic room - how it’s a magic carpet and a michelin star restaurant and a shoulder to cry on and a big hug whenever I need it.
How did they capture that in a song????
All the love in the world for BTS <3<3<3<3<3
@minfiresmanyeah
I feel like this is a song about how we all are just stuck in our rooms in this pandemic but we turned it into a haven, a safe place just for us. Our rooms give us the comfort nothing else can.
