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.

피어있는 이 garden
가시투성이 umm
이 모래성에 난 날 매었어
너의 이름은 뭔지
갈 곳이 있긴 한지
Oh, could you tell me? Ooh
이 정원에 숨어든 널 봤어
And I know 너의 온긴
모두 다 진짜란 걸
푸른 꽃을 꺾는 손
잡고 싶지만
내 운명인 걸
Don't smile on me
Light on me
너에게 다가설 수 없으니까
내겐 불러줄 이름이 없어
You know that I can't
Show you me
Give you me
초라한 모습 보여줄 순 없어
또 가면을 쓰고 널 만나러 가
But I still want you
외로움의 정원에
핀 너를 닮은 꽃
주고 싶었지 ooh-hoo-hoo
바보 같은 가면을 벗고서
But I know
영원히 그럴 수는 없는 걸
숨어야만 하는 걸
추한 나니까
난 두려운 걸
초라해
I'm so afraid
결국엔 너도 날 또 떠나버릴까
또 가면을 쓰고 널 만나러 가
할 수 있는 건
정원에
이 세상에
예쁜 너를 닮은 꽃을 피운 다음
니가 아는 나로 숨 쉬는 것
But I still want you, hah, hah
I still want you, hah
어쩌면 그때
조금만
이만큼만
용길 내서 너의 앞에 섰더라면
지금 모든 건 달라졌을까?
난 울고 있어 (ooh-ooh-whoa)
사라진
무너진
홀로 남겨진 이 모래성에서
부서진 가면을 바라보면서
And I still want you
(But I still want you)
(But I still want you)
And I still want you
The Truth Untold is a heart-wrenching ballad by the Korean boy band, BTS. The song touches upon themes of loneliness, pain, and unrequited love. The lyrics speak of a person's desire for someone they cannot have but still yearn for. In the garden of loneliness, they see a flower that resembles their love interest and wants to gift it but they know that they cannot reveal their true identity. They are afraid to show their true selves, so they wear a mask, shielding themselves from the world. Despite their fears, they still long for that person and wonder how things could have been different if they had revealed their true feelings. The song beautifully captures the raw emotions of love and loss that can cut through one's very soul.
