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.

심장이 뛰는 소리 낯설 때
마주 본다 거울 속 너
겁먹은 눈빛, 해묵은 질문
어쩌면 누군가를 사랑하는 것보다
더 어려운 게 나 자신을 사랑하는 거야
솔직히 인정할 건 인정하자
니 삶 속의 굵은 나이테
그 또한 너의 일부, 너이기에
이제는 나 자신을 용서하자
버리기엔 우리 인생은 길어
미로 속에선 날 믿어
겨울이 지나면 다시 봄은 오는 거야
차가운 밤의 시선
초라한 날 감추려
몹시 뒤척였지만
Eh
저 수많은 별을 맞기 위해
난 떨어졌던가? (Hey-eh)
저 수천 개 찬란한 화살의 과녁은 나 하나
Eh
You've shown me I have reasons
I should love myself (oh, huh)
내 숨, 내 걸어온 길 전부로 답해
어제의 나, 오늘의 나, 내일의 나
(I'm learning how to love myself)
빠짐없이, 남김없이 모두 다 나
정답은 없을지도 몰라 (yeah, yeah)
어쩜 이것도 답은 아닌 거야 (yeah, right?)
그저 날 사랑하는 일조차
누구의 허락이 필요했던 거야 (so real)
난 지금도 나를 또 찾고 있어
But 더는 죽고 싶지가 않은 걸
슬프던 me, 아프던 me
더 아름다울 미
그래, 그 아름다움이 (ah-hah)
있다고, 아는 마음이 (alright)
나의 사랑으로 가는 길 (no way)
가장 필요한 나다운 일 eh
Uh 지금 날 위한 행보는 바로 날 위한 행동
날 위한 태도, 그게 날 위한 행복
I'll show you what I got
두렵진 않아, 그건 내 존재니까
Love myself
시작의 처음부터
끝의 마지막까지
해답은 오직 하나
Eh
왜 자꾸만 감추려고만 해
니 가면 속으로? (Hey-eh)
내 실수로 생긴 흉터까지 다 내 별자린데 yeah
Eh
You've shown me I have reasons
I should love myself, oh-uh-huh
내 숨, 내 걸어온 길 전부로 답해
내 안에는 여전히 oh
서툰 내가 있지만 whoa-whoa-whoa
You've shown me I have reasons
I should love myself
(I'm learning how to love myself) oh-oh
내 숨, 내 걸어온 길 전부로 답해 oh-whoa
어제의 나, 오늘의 나, 내일의 나
(I'm learning how to love myself)
빠짐없이, 남김없이 모두 다 나
The lyrics to BTS's song Answer: Love Myself focus on the importance of self-love and acceptance. The opening lines describe a sense of unfamiliarity and fear when confronting one's own reflection, suggesting that loving oneself can be a difficult journey. The lyrics go on to state that it can be even harder to love oneself than it is to love someone else, as we tend to be more critical and hard on ourselves. The song encourages listeners to be honest with themselves and acknowledge the high standards they hold themselves to, while also suggesting that forgiving oneself is a crucial step in learning to love oneself.
The lyrics use metaphors to describe the journey of self-love. The line "our lives are long, trust yourself in the maze" suggests that life can be like a maze, but it is important to have faith in oneself to find a way out. The lyrics also reference "shooting stars" and "target practice," hinting at the idea that self-love is a goal to aim for and something that can be achieved through practice and patience. The song concludes with the repetition of the phrase "I'm learning how to love myself," emphasizing that self-love is an ongoing process and that it is never too late to start working towards it.
Overall, "Answer: Love Myself" is a powerful song that encourages listeners to reflect on their own relationship with themselves. The lyrics are relatable and moving, reminding us of the importance of self-love and acceptance in our lives.
