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.
So What
BTS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Somebody call me wrong
난 신경 쓰지 않을래
너도 그럼 어때?
So what?
Let go
한숨 그 안에 많은 걱정이 숨어있네
이 길의 중간에, 포기하고 싶은 순간에
더 크게 소리질러봐
So what, what, what?
(SUGA)
내 맘대로 되는 건 없고 (oh, yeah)
숨을 곳은 뭐 더더욱 없어
이미 주사윈 던져진 지 오래
꾸물대단 휩쓸려가겠지 oh, bae
고민들의 9할은 니가 만들어 낸 상상의 늪
고민보다 go, go 쫄지마렴 cheer up
소리쳐봐 so what, what?
We are, we are, we are
Young and wild and free
답도 없는 고민, 고민
그 속에 빠져 있지 마 yeah
경계선 위에서 위태롭다 해도
웃고 떠들며 바람을 가르자
때론 바보같이 멍청이 달리기
실수와 눈물 속에 we just go
So what?
멈춰서 고민 하지마
다 쓸데 없어
Let go
아직은 답이 없지만
You can start the fight
So what?
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
