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.

첫 데이트 첫 키스와 둘만의 공간
속에서 늘 모든 게 너와 처음이고파
난 거식증 뭘 먹어도 항상 니, 니가 고파
이걸 중독이란 단어로서만
표현할 순 없어
너란 여잔 묘사 불가
시적 허용을 넘어섰어
이게 너 때문이야 널 대문자처럼
내 인생 맨 앞에 두고파
좋은 집 좋은 차 그런 게
행복일 순 없겠지만 꼭 주고파
아이, 잠시만 잠시만요 음악 좀 꺼주세요
왜 아잇 형 이거 아니잖아요, 형 뭐가
두고파 이게 뭐에요, 형
주고파 거든
아, 그래요? 그럼 제 스타일 한번 보여드릴게요
아, 음악한번 주세요!
그렇지! 이거지, 이거 형 이런 스타일!
아 사랑은 희망적으로 가야죠, 희망적으로
Ya uh yeah uh ya
망설임 없이 고백하는 게 나의 style
널 위해서라면 이 한 몸 다 바칠 type
항상 널 향해 조명을 비출게 girl
이건 너와 날 위한 사랑의 무대인 걸
우리는 콩깍지 씌었지 알콩달콩
우리의 미래는 밝고 화사해 알록달록
너만 있으면 뭐든 다 가졌지 like a milli
너와 지금부터 사랑의 문이 열리지 go in, haha
아이, 크으 죽이네, 죽여!
역시 사랑은 희망적이지, 희망적
어떻게 맨날 희망적으로 사냐
어? 희망적으로, 방탄 스타일은 그게 아니잖아
뭔데 방탄스타일 해봐?
힙합? let's go (you can be, yeah) shoot it
BTS 우리가 사랑하는 법
10대던 20대던 같아 사랑하는 건
RM, so now I'm telling you the story
난 이렇게까지 사랑해봤어 넌 어떠니
This is just an intro shouting
'Bout my whole mind and body
You know that her refusals and bad words could never stop me
They could never retard me, this is my ideology
Who in the world can dampen my heart's blood, nobody
Wassup 다시 물을게 wassup
넌 어떠니 사랑해보지 않았다면 꼭 나처럼 해보는 게
어때 참 사람 감정이란 게 묘한 게
난 널 웃게 했는데 넌 널 울게 하는 놈에게 가더라고
I said yeah that's love
I said 그래 그게 사랑
누군 찌질 하다고 말하지만 난 정말 괜찮아
사랑할 땐 한 번도 상처받지 않은 것처럼
내 모든 걸 앗아간대도 더 줄 것처럼
Wassup 사랑할 때는 좀 화끈하게 (hey)

Wassup, I’ll ask again. Wassup?
What about you? If you haven't loved before, try it like me.
It's strange how human emotions work, right?
I made you laugh, but you went to someone who made you cry.

Someone may say that I'm worthless, but I'm okay.
When I love, it feels like I’ve never been hurt before.
Even if everything I have is taken away, I’ll give even more.
Wassup, when we love, do it fiercely (hey).
Sing a little sharply (hey hey).
A little fiery (hey hey), a little biting.
When we love, we do it fiercely (hey).
A little fiery (hey hey), a little biting.
This is one word, BTS style (wassup).
BTS style, BTS style, wassup.
