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.

하루의 끝을 드리운
Someone come and save me, please
지친 하루의 한숨뿐
사람들은 다 행복한가 봐
Can you look at me? 'Cause I am blue and grey
거울에 비친 눈물의 의미는
어디서부터 (어디서부터) 잘못됐는지 잘 모르겠어
나 어려서부터 (어려서) 머릿속엔 파란색 물음표
어쩜 그래서 (어쩜 그래서) 치열하게 살았는지 모르지
But 뒤를 돌아보니 여기 우두커니 서니
나를 집어삼켜버리는 저 서슬 퍼런 그림자
여전히도 파란색 물음표는
과연 불안인지 우울인지
어쩜 정말 후회의 동물인지
아니면은 외로움이 낳은 나일지
여전히 모르겠어 서슬 퍼런 블루
잠식되지 않길 바래 찾을 거야 출구
I just wanna be happier
차가운 날 녹여줘
수없이 내민 나의 손
색깔 없는 메아리
Oh this ground feels so heavier
I am singing by myself
I just wanna be happier
이것도 큰 욕심일까
추운 겨울 거리를 걸을 때 느낀
빨라진 심장의 호흡 소릴
지금도 느끼곤 해
괜찮다고 하지 마
괜찮지 않으니까
제발 혼자 두지 말아 줘 너무 아파 (oh)
늘 걷는 길과 늘 받는 빛
But 오늘은 왠지 낯선 scene
무뎌진 걸까 무너진 걸까
근데 무겁긴 하다 이 쇳덩인
다가오는 회색 코뿔소
초점 없이 난 덩그러니 서있어
나답지 않아 이 순간
그냥 무섭지가 않아
난 확신이란 신 따위 안 믿어
색채 같은 말은 간지러워
넓은 회색지대가 편해
여기 수억 가지 표정의 grey
비가 오면 내 세상 (oh)
이 도시 위로 춤춘다
맑은 날엔 안개를
젖은 날엔 함께 늘
여기 모든 먼지들
위해 축배를
I just wanna be happier
내 손의 온길 느껴줘
따뜻하지가 않아서 네가 더욱 필요해
Oh this ground feels so heavier
I am singing by myself
먼 훗날 내가 웃게 되면
말할게 그랬었다고
허공에 떠도는 말을
몰래 주워 담고 나니
이제 새벽잠이 드네 good night
The lyrics of BTS's song Blue & Grey are about feeling lost and disconnected from the world. The singer is asking for help and hoping someone will save them from their exhaustion, represented by a sigh at the end of a long day. They feel like everyone else is happy but they are not, and they are struggling to understand why. The tears in their eyes are a reflection of their uncertainty about who they are and what they feel. The blue and grey colors represent their sadness and confusion, which are hidden behind a mask of laughter.
The singer reflects on their childhood and the blue question mark that has been in their mind since then. They wonder why they have been so intense in their pursuit of happiness, and yet they are standing here alone, trapped by their own fears and doubts. The shadow of the sharp purple claws symbolizes the anxiety that is always lurking in the background. The singer is still not sure if they are anxious or depressed or just lonely, but they hope to find a way out of this dark place. They long to be happy, and they know it may be a lofty goal, but they can't help but want it.
