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.

この道を辿って行く
イヤホン差し込むこの鼓動に
確かな想いがその先にある
Oh baby why you far away?
慣れない君がいないと なんかね
何か足りない気する
気付けば君はこのスマホの中だけで
しか会えない目の前に現れて
一緒にいれない寂しさ
今日も噛み締め
想いと裏腹 時間だけ過ぎてく
不安な気持ちになっても
距離の様 心離れないでと
信じて届ける風の先には
いつも俺がいる 同じ空の下 my baby
すべて for you 答えなんて
なくていい全ては
君の笑顔の中にある
Truth 離れていても
心と心は繋がっている forever 君と
ヒラヒラ舞う 花びらのシャワー
キラキラ舞う 太陽の中

The lyrics of BTS’ “For You” discuss the pain of being separated from a loved one due to distance, but also the comfort in knowing that the love between them continues to endure. The song begins with the singer walking down a road and feeling the presence of their love’s fragrance, representing the persistence of their love despite their physical separation. The singer notes the absence of their loved one and how it leaves them feeling incomplete, saying that they simply wish to be with them, even if they’re just listening to music together with their earphones in. The lyrics touch on the feelings of loneliness and the longing one feels when they’re apart from those they love, but the chorus provides comfort in the idea that even though they’re physically apart, their hearts are always connected, the proof of which is seen in the smiles on their faces. The song concludes with the image of falling cherry blossom petals, and the reassurance that even if they’re apart, they’re always under the same sky.
One interesting fact is that this song is sung in Japanese, which is a notable feat for a K-Pop group, as language barriers can be a significant factor in the export of their music to different countries. “For You” was released on June 17, 2015, as a single for the Japanese drama “花よりおじいさん” (Hana Yori Dango Final), showcasing the versatility of the group's music to different audiences. Another interesting fact is that this song was originally written and performed by the Japanese band “Wands” in 1998, making this release an adaptation or cover of sorts. BTS creatively reimagined the song to suit their style, choosing to focus on the emotional elements of the lyrics.
Furthermore, the lyrics of this song were written by the renown Japanese songwriter and producer Hidenori Tanaka, popularly known as “Kenzie.” Kenzie is well-known for his exceptional ability to write songs that connect with fans across Asia, which explains the vast success of 'For You'. As of 2021, the music video for this song on YouTube has reached over 100 million views, making it a fan favourite as well. “For You” is also memorable for being the group's first release filmed overseas, as the music video was shot in both Korea and Japan. Lastly, the lyrics' use of certain symbols such as cherry blossom petals represents the transience of life and the importance of making the most of our time, creating an emotional resonance with audiences.
