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.

결국 다 흉터들로 돌아오니까
힘을 내란 뻔한 말은 하지 않을 거야
난 내 얘길 들려줄게, 들려줄게
내가 뭐랬어, 이길 거랬잖아
믿지 못했어 (정말) 이길 수 있을까?
이 기적 아닌 기적을 우리가 만든 걸까? (No)
I do believe your galaxy 듣고 싶어 너의 멜로디
너의 은하수의 별들은 너의 하늘을 과연 어떻게 수놓을지
나의 절망 끝에 결국 내가 널 찾았음을 잊지 마
넌 절벽 끝에 서 있던 내 마지막 이유야 live
내가 나인 게 싫은 날, 영영 사라지고 싶은 날
문을 하나 만들자, 너의 맘속에다
그 문을 열고 들어가면 이곳이 기다릴 거야
믿어도 괜찮아
널 위로해 줄 Magic Shop
따뜻한 차 한 잔을 마시며
저 은하수를 올려다보며
넌 괜찮을 거야 oh 여긴 Magic Shop

Dear BTS,
I started and near to the book's end of Into the magic shop where this whole thing came and it really amazed me how you guys turn your sorrow into inspirational thoughts for your fans. You inspired me to write songs to translate my frustrations to something wonderful but it is difficult. The novel, the movie, i read and watched it and it is worth it. I love myself, so I hope you will too.
Love, Melody
