BTS (Korean: 방탄소년단; RR: Bangtan Sonyeondan), also known as the Bangtan Boys… Read Full Bio ↴BTS (Korean: 방탄소년단; RR: Bangtan Sonyeondan), also known as the Bangtan Boys, is a seven-member South Korean boy band formed in Seoul in 2013. The septet co-writes and produces much of their output. Originally a hip hop group, their musical style has evolved to include a wide range of genres. Their lyrics, often focused on personal and social commentary, touch on the themes of mental health, troubles of school-age youth, loss, the journey towards loving oneself, and individualism. Their work features references to literature and psychological concepts and includes an alternative universe storyline. Popular for their live performances, the group have staged several world tours.
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.

EPILOGUE%3A Young Forever
BTS Lyrics
막이 내리고 나는 숨이 차
복잡해진 마음, 숨을 내쉰다
오늘 뭐 실수는 없었었나
관객들의 표정은 어땠던가
그래도 행복해 난 이런 내가 돼서
누군가를 소리 지르게 만들 수가 있어서
채 가시지 않은 여운들을 품에 안고
아직도 더운 텅 빈 무대에 섰을 때
더운 텅 빈 무대에 섰을 때
괜한 공허함에 난 겁을 내
복잡한 감정 속에서 삶의 사선 위에서
괜시리 난 더 무딘 척을 해
처음도 아닌데 익숙해질 법한데
숨기려 해도 그게 안돼
텅 빈 무대가 식어갈 때쯤
빈 객석을 뒤로하네
지금 날 위로하네 완벽한 세상은
없다고 자신에게 말해 난
점점 날 비워가네 언제까지 내 것일
순 없어 큰 박수갈채가
이런 내게 말을 해, 뻔뻔히
니 목소릴 높여 더 멀리
영원한 관객은 없대도
난 노래할 거야
오늘의 나로 영원하고파
영원히 소년이고 싶어 난 Aah
Forever we are young
나리는 꽃잎 비 사이로
헤매어 달리는 이 미로
Forever we are young
넘어져 다치고 아파도
끝없이 달리네 꿈을 향해
Forever ever ever ever
(꿈, 희망, 전진, 전진)
Forever ever ever we are young
Forever ever ever ever
(꿈, 희망, 전진, 전진)
Forever ever ever we are young
Forever we are young
나리는 꽃잎 비 사이로
헤매어 달리는 이 미로
Forever we are young
넘어져 다치고 아파도
끝없이 달리네 꿈을 향해
Forever we are young
나리는 꽃잎 비 사이로
헤매어 달리네 이 미로
Forever we are young
넘어져 다치고 아파도
끝없이 달리네 꿈을 향해
복잡해진 마음, 숨을 내쉰다
오늘 뭐 실수는 없었었나
관객들의 표정은 어땠던가
그래도 행복해 난 이런 내가 돼서
누군가를 소리 지르게 만들 수가 있어서
채 가시지 않은 여운들을 품에 안고
아직도 더운 텅 빈 무대에 섰을 때
더운 텅 빈 무대에 섰을 때
복잡한 감정 속에서 삶의 사선 위에서
괜시리 난 더 무딘 척을 해
처음도 아닌데 익숙해질 법한데
숨기려 해도 그게 안돼
텅 빈 무대가 식어갈 때쯤
빈 객석을 뒤로하네
지금 날 위로하네 완벽한 세상은

넘어져 다치고 아파도
끝없이 달리네 꿈을 향해

Kim Namjoon was first member to join BTS. His mom opposed him joining BTS because she wanted him to study well. He used to work so hard with the productions yet his mom would break his computers and mics so that he would concentrate on his studies.
Kim Seokjin , who joined because of his visuals, got criticized that he had no talent in singing but he proved all of them wrong. He wanted to make his mom proud and wanted his mom to have something to brag about her son to their judgmental neighbors.
Min Yoongi , whose parents didn't support him well in his music career, had to manage his life on his own. If he had to take the bus, he didn't have money to eat. If he spent it on food, he couldn't take the bus. But now, he's earning millions.
Jung Hoseok had earlier auditioned in JYP but was not accepted in the later half. Being a street dancer and having so much talent, he almost gave up and wanted to leave BTS but his members apposed him in that and he definitely didn't let them down. Yet, he was judged because of his visuals. He auditioned because he wanted his father to be proud of him.
Park Jimin , who had to starve himself only because people called him 'fat'. He came all the way from Busan to persuade his dreams and used to practice so much that once he slept for only 3 hours. That is what has made him perfect today.
Kim Taehyung lived with his grandmother for 15 years to support her in her farm. He had always been a part of BTS but was never shown in any promotion-not until they debut. Taehyung said he used to practice filming log so that when he's finally announced as a member he can do a lot of for his fans.
Jeon Jungkook came to Seoul from Busan in a very young age persuade his dream. He even traveled all the way to America to learn dancing. Once Jimin caught him crying alone and when Jimin asked why, Jungkook said that he misses his family.
BTS , they might be global legends today but they had their own hardships too. So please stop calling them overrated and learn to respect them. They deserve what they're getting today.

There is something I don't understand ... If you're a real fan of BTS, I don't understand why people forget to watch this masterpiece. For the beauty of the song, for the beauty of the MV, this video deserves so much more views.
EDIT :
When I said that a year ago, I was thinking more of the following fact: why do people prefer to stream their biggest hit songs rather than the neglected ones?
In the comment section, I was called a dumb because I said that, but it wasn't mean at all on my part. Nor was it a reproach I made, just a fact that I noted.
Sure, I know there is the version of 1theK, but even with it, the "Young Forever" MV is ultimately not at all popular. I was just wondering why, because I still find it curious. No need to throw stones at me, and to insult me for free.
I obviously understand that this is a song that transmits a lot of emotions, and that it is not necessarily easy to listen to.
In any case, I simply regret that this MV is not better known in the videography of Bangtan, and finally, I just purple every single ARMY who will read this message with hindsight and kindness, as they are with BTS themselves.
Take care of yourselves guys ! Saranghae !
