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 ↴
넌 아무 말도 꺼내지도 마
그냥 내게 웃어줘
난 아직도 믿기지가 않아
이 모든 게 다 꿈인 것 같아
사라지려 하지마
Is it true? Is it true?
Untrue, untrue, you, you, you
곁에 머물러줄래 (줄래)
내게 약속해줄래 (줄래)
손 대면 날아갈까 부서질까 겁나 겁나 겁나
시간을 멈출래 (줄래)
이 순간이 지나면 (지나면)
없었던 일이 될까 널 잃을까 겁나 겁나 겁나
Butterfly, like a butterfly
마치 butterfly, bu butterfly 처럼
Butterfly, like a butterfly
마치 butterfly, bu butterfly 처럼
넌 마치 butterfly (butterfly, butterfly)
멀리서 훔쳐봐 손 닿으면 널 잃을까
이 칠흑 같은 어둠 속 날 밝히는 나비효과
니 작은 손짓 한 번에 현실을 잊어 난
살며시 쓰다듬는 바람 같아
살포시 표류하는 먼지 같아
넌 거기 있지만 왠지 닿지 않아 stop
꿈 같은 넌 내게 butterfly, high
Untrue, untrue, you, you, you
곁에 머물러줄래 (줄래)
내게 약속해줄래 (줄래)
손 대면 날아갈까 부서질까 겁나 겁나 겁나
시간을 멈출래 (줄래)
이 순간이 지나면 (지나면)
없었던 일이 될까 널 잃을까 겁나 겁나 겁나
심장은 메마른 소리를 내
꿈인지 현실인지 알 수 없네
나의 해변의 카프카여
저기 숲으로 가진 말아줘
내 마음은 아직 너 위에 부서져 조각조각 까맣게 녹아 흘러
(난 그냥 이대로 증발하고 싶어)
내 사랑은 영원인 걸
It's all free for you baby
네 곁에 머물러줄래 (줄래)
내게 약속해줄래 (줄래)
손 대면 날아갈까 부서질까 겁나 겁나 겁나
시간을 멈출래 (줄래)
이 순간이 지나면 (지나면)
없었던 일이 될까 널 잃을까 겁나 겁나 겁나

The song "Butterfly" by BTS is an emotional ballad that represents the inner struggle of a person who is hesitant to believe in the beauty of life. The lyrics encourage the listener to let go of their fears and to embrace the present moment with a smile, even when everything seems like a dream. The words "아무것도 생각하지 마" (Don't think about anything) and "넌 아무 말도 꺼내지도 마" (Don't say anything) convey a sense of peace and calmness, urging the listener to let go of their thoughts and just smile. However, the uncertainty in the lyrics is palpable in lines such as "이 모든 게 다 꿈인 것 같아" (It feels like it's all a dream), reflecting the fear of losing everything that makes life beautiful.
The metaphor of a butterfly runs throughout the song, symbolizing the fragility and beauty of life. The chorus repeats the image of the butterfly, with the lines "Butterfly, like a butterfly 마치 butterfly, bu butterfly 처럼," emphasizing the ephemeral nature of life. The lyrics also express the fear of losing something precious at any moment, and urge the listener to hold on to it tightly, fearing that it might disappear like a butterfly.
Overall, "Butterfly" is a touching and ethereal song that encapsulates the fear, anxiety, and beauty of life in a single melody.

니 작은 손짓 한 번에 현실을 잊어 난
With one small gesture, I forget reality
살며시 쓰다듬는 바람 같아
You're like a gentle breeze that caresses me
살포시 표류하는 먼지 같아
You're like a speck of dust gently floating away
넌 거기 있지만 왠지 닿지 않아 stop
You're there, but I can't seem to reach you, stop
꿈 같은 넌 내게 butterfly, high
You, who are like a dream, are my butterfly, high
심장은 메마른 소리를 내
My heart makes a dry sound
꿈인지 현실인지 알 수 없네
I can't tell if it's a dream or reality
나의 해변의 카프카여
My beach is like Kafka
저기 숲으로 가진 말아줘
Don't take me to that forest
내 마음은 아직 너 위에 부서져 조각조각 까맣게 녹아 흘러
My heart is still breaking into pieces and melting blackly, flowing towards you
(난 그냥 이대로 증발하고 싶어)
(I just want to disappear like this)
내 사랑은 영원인 걸
My love is forever
It's all free for you baby
It's all free for you baby

I have always loved this song, but this choreography makes me love it even more. Could you imagine if they performed this song live with the choreography when they are all back from the military? That would be a dream come true for me! 🥰💖
