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.

Wassup!
Supreme Boi on this track, dick
You know what it is, ugh
It's the prime time homies
Yeah, what you know about my fam'?
We beat the prejudice and just doin' my thing, boy
People, you can holla at my B.T.S (get it)
누구 때문에? 제이홉 때문에
누구 때문에? 랩몬 때문에
다시 누구 때문에? 슈가 때문에
모든 스타일과 흐름은 다 방탄 때문에
21세기 한류를 이끌 애들의 또 시작된 놀이
우린 일곱 마리 늑대, 함성이란 양들을 몰이
지금부터 보이는 고장 난 랩들 견인
해가지 우린 계속 진격, 비트 위의 거인
방탄 싸이퍼 right here, 싸이코 right here
링에 누가 있건 우린 다 이겨, rap fighter right here
난 hi여 넌 bye여 불난 타이어 우린 달려
Fire, hot choir, 대중가요 잡을 싸이여
내 랩 거대한 떡대 니 귀에다가 대놓고 bug that
역대로 격해진 우리만의 폭행
긴 말 필요 없이 랩으로 설명해
BTS, follow the leader 지금부터 go해
What
Ri-ri-ri-ride
Are you? 안으로 와
난 랩 와이퍼, 완전 싸이코
내가 다이서라면 임마 난 다이스 다 있어
싸이퍼, 니가 nice면 임마 난 nicer
니가 프라이드면 임마 난 크라이슬러 that mean I'ma priceless
니들이 뭔데 내 랩에 니들의 식견으로 점수를 매겨, rapper?
여긴 원피스, 난 흰수염 너넨 그냥 긴수염, 한 마디로 메기여 bucket
히히하하 뛰뛰빵빵 시속 300 나가
절차탁마의 절차 밟았으
안 가리고 싹다 잡아 툼스톤, knock knock knock out
Fire in the hole beat, bing bing pow pow
넌 울며 찾아가지 니네 아빠
시시각각 랩 민짜들의 목을 죄여오는 내 voice, PC방 마감
여긴 왕국, 나는 킹 너는 덤
짝 씹어 삼켜 넌 버블껌
뛰는 놈 위에 나는 놈 위에 타는 놈
그게 나야 beat 비보다 나쁜 놈
난 걸레처럼 널기만 해 갖고 논 다음 니 고막을 찢어 단번에 boom boom boom
이건 내 새벽의 저주, 악몽, 폭행, 연쇄살인, 강도, doom doom doom
넌 친구 없는 카톡, 볼 일 없어
벌써 지렸니? 미안 화장실 없어
내가 지금 명령해 Mic 놓고 일어서
넌 그냥 천 해, 왜냐하면 넌 실 없어
난 널 밀쳐내 니가 너무 싫어서
나는 바느질 좀 잘해, 실 천해
나 지금 으르렁대, 너 좀 위험해
넌 그냥 연 해 말했잖아 실 없어
하늘로 올라가 올라가 찢어져, bucket 주석, 난 널 잊었어
나의 목소리, 나의 헤게모니 일부터 십까지 싹 다 내가 키웠어
나 온 세상을 내 혀 위에 올려다 놓지
큰 데서 놀아, I ain't spittin low sh
On the CD, 아님 TV, you can see me, envy me, it's a pity, gee gee
Beat I'ma monster I rap with a prospect
Yeah I rap with a mindset, I'm a suspect
Sucka where yo rhymes at where you lines at?
I'm da king, I'm the God so where ma emperors at?
I parachute on my Neverland, I'ma Peter Pan
So this will never end
You know when I ride on my G5
You sit first class and satisfy and I keep giggling
Keep gigglin, keep jigglin, bring yo booking mic beat 한판 붙어볼래?
자부심과 이상한 신념뿐인 신병 걸린 형들은 8마디면 헤벌레
늙은 애벌레, 더 더 더 더러 이 beat 줄게 한 번 해봐 버 버 버러
지들아 랩이나 좀 잘하고 떠들어
니넨 랩 못하게 해야 돼, 법으로
Pow, pow 누구 때문에? 제이홉 때문에
누구 때문에? 랩몬 때문에
다시 누구 때문에 슈가 때문에
우리 셋이 모여서 새 시대를 외쳐
제이홉 때문에
누구 때문에? 랩몬 때문에
다시 누구 때문에 슈가 때문에
이 beat 위에 다음 타자가 랩을 해
내 도메인 Dopeman.com 마이크로 여럿 혼냈지
언행은 족쇄 같어 내 죄명은 혀로 폭행
신앙심이 가득한 덕에 넌 태생부터 겁나 모태
이 비트 위에서 엄살 부리면 넌 그냥 조퇴해
힙합 꼰대들 목에 힘들어 간 것 좀 보세
니가 지하에서 놀 때 BTS 지상에서 노네
밤새 잠 퍼질러 잔 너에 비해 I'm workerholic shopperholic
니 fen 보다 많은 pen 과소비 하며 all in 차면 goal in
Goal in, I'm ballin 니 랩 들으면 토 쏠림
니 여친도 홀리는 내 목소린 좀 꼴림
작업실 내 놀이터고 파트너는 펜 종이
호위가 권리인 줄 아는 너흰 속히 마이크를 내려 놓길
내가 해라면 너는 달 내가 뜰 때면 지니까
힙합 진품명품 새끼들아 거품 위에서 내려와
야 이 개구쟁이들아 개구진 니 랩은 그냥 신세 타령
니가 기다려온 시간 쉬다 오렴 니가 가라 하와이 집에 가렴
내가 어디까지 가나 봐라 썩은 뿌릴 싹 다 갈아
엎어 모두 한판 예상하지 못한 파란
노력 없이 한탄만 해대며 막상
꼴에 음악 한답시고 놀 때 알바 자리나 더 알아봐라
너의 짧고 가느다란 커리어로는 하나 마나 겠지만 꼭 살아남아
꾸준히 쭉 썩어 아마 니들 꼬리표는 아마
추어 같은 인생 너희 랩은 아나바다
아껴 쓰고 나눠 쓴 flow를 받아쓰고 또 그걸 다시 쓰는 너
Hey beat 쪽 팔린 줄 알어 너 24마디에 너는 자리 펴고 앓아 누워
니 덩치에 비해 랩은 가냘퍼
니 부모처럼 널 볼 때 마다 맘 아퍼
난 니 음악의 커리어 동맥에 마침표를 그어
Ha ha ha ya!
The lyrics of BTS Cypher PT.2: Triptych are all about expressing the identity of BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan) and confronting the prejudice they have faced. The song is structured as a "cypher," which is a freestyle rap exchange between multiple artists. The verses are filled with metaphors and wordplay, boasting about their skills and success in the music industry. The chorus repeats the phrase "Who's responsible? J-Hope is responsible. Who's responsible? Rap Monster is responsible. Who's responsible again? Suga is responsible. All the styles and flows are because of BTS." This line emphasizes the unity and synergy of the group through their unique individual talents.
The song also contains a lot of cultural references, such as to One Piece (a popular manga and anime series), Peter Pan, and various Korean rap and hip-hop artists. The lyrics also criticize the Korean music industry and its treatment of underground rappers. The phrase "PC방 마감" refers to Korean internet cafes where people spend hours playing games, but it also suggests that the rappers in question are stuck in a certain place and unable to escape their situation.
Overall, BTS Cypher PT.2: Triptych is a powerful statement about BTS's identity and their determination to succeed regardless of prejudice or obstacles. The song reflects the group's drive and creative energy as they strive to make their mark in the music industry.

Take a break, the time you've been waiting for has come, go to your Hawaii house
내가 어디까지 가나 봐라 썩은 뿌릴 싹 다 갈아
Watch how far I can go, I'll completely change the rotten seed
엎어 모두 한판 예상하지 못한 파란
Overturn everything, a blue that no one expected
노력 없이 한탄만 해대며 막상
You just complain without putting in any effort, but in the end
꼴에 음악 한답시고 놀 때 알바 자리나 더 알아봐라
When you just fool around with music, you should know your part-time job position
너의 짧고 가느다란 커리어로는 하나 마나 겠지만 꼭 살아남아
Your short and narrow career might seem insignificant, but make sure to survive
꾸준히 쭉 썩어 아마 니들 꼬리표는 아마
Keep rotting consistently, maybe your labels, maybe
추어 같은 인생 너희 랩은 아나바다
Your rap is garbage like your life, an abyss
아껴 쓰고 나눠 쓴 flow를 받아쓰고 또 그걸 다시 쓰는 너
You take and use the flow that has been used carefully and shared, and then use it again
Hey beat 쪽 팔린 줄 알어 너 24마디에 너는 자리 펴고 앓아 누워
Hey beat, you know you got sold out, you spread your wings in 24 bars and lie sick
니 덩치에 비해 랩은 가냘퍼
Your rap is too weak compared to your physique
니 부모처럼 널 볼 때 마다 맘 아퍼
Every time I see you like your parents, it hurts my heart
난 니 음악의 커리어 동맥에 마침표를 그어
I draw a period on the artery of your music career
Ha ha ha ya!
Ha ha ha ya!
