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.

BTS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
시작은 뭐 즐거웠었네
오르락내리락 그 자체로
어느새 서로 지쳐버렸네
의미 없는 감정 소모에
반복된 시소-소, 시소-소 게임
이쯤 되니 지겨워, 지겨워졌네
우린 서로 지쳐서 지겨워졌네
사소한 말다툼이 시작이었을까?
내가 너보다 무거워졌었던 순간
애초에 평행은 존재한 적이 없기에
더욱이 욕심내서 맞추려 했을까?
사랑이었고 이게 사랑이란 단어의 자체면
굳이 반복해야 할 필요 있을까?
서로 지쳤고 같은 카드를 쥐고 있는 듯해
그렇다면 뭐
Alright 반복된 시소게임
이제서야 끝을 내보려 해
Alright 지겨운 시소게임
누군간 여기서 내려야 돼
할 순 없지만
누가 내릴지 말진 서로 눈치 말고
그저 맘 가는 대로 질질 끌지 말고
이젠 내릴지 말지 끝을 내보자고
반복되는 시소게임
이젠 그만해
사람이 참 간사하긴 하지
한 명이 없음 다칠 걸 알면서
서로 나쁜 새낀 되기 싫기에
애매한 책임 전가의 연속에 umm, ah
지칠 만큼 지쳐서 되려 평행이 됐네 yeah
이런 평행을 바란 건 아닌데
처음에는 누가 더 무거운지
자랑하며 서롤 바라보며 웃지
이제는 누가 무거운지를 두고
경쟁을 하게 되었네
되려 싸움의 불씨
누군가는 결국
이곳에서 내려야 끝이 날 듯하네
가식 섞인 서롤 위하는 척
더는 말고 이젠 결정해야 돼 ayy
서로 마음이 없다면
서롤 생각 안 했다면 oh
우리가 이리도 질질 끌었을까?
이제 마음이 없다면
이 시소 위는 위험해, 위험해
내 생각 더는 말고
Alright 반복된 시소게임
이제서야 끝을 내보려 해
Alright 지겨운 시소게임
누군간 여기서 내려야 돼
할 순 없지만
(Hol' up, hol' up) 니가 없는 이 시소 위를 걸어
(Hol' up, hol' up) 니가 없던 처음의 그때처럼
(Hol' up, hol' up) 니가 없는 이 시소 위를 걸어
(Hol' up, hol' up) 니가 없는 이 시소에서 내려
Alright 반복된 시소게임
이제서야 끝을 내보려 해
Alright 지겨운 시소게임
누군간 여기서 내려야 돼
할 순 없지만
누가 내릴지 말진 서로 눈치 말고
그저 맘 가는 대로 질질 끌지 말고
이젠 내릴지 말지 끝을 내보자고
반복되는 시소게임
이젠 그만해
(Hol' up, hol' up) 니가 없는 이 시소 위를 걸어

The song Trivia 轉 : Seesaw by BTS talks about the dynamics of a relationship that has lost its initial spark and has become stagnant. The lyrics express how two people gradually grew apart as they played a game of seesaw, trying to one-up each other, until they reached a point of exhaustion. They both held the same card, which led to a repetition of the same game, causing them to feel tired and insignificant about their emotions towards each other. The lyrics suggest that they need to end the game and move on rather than continue with something that is not working out.
The song highlights the emotional toll and strain of romantic relationships, especially when one party feels like they are carrying more weight than the other. It also talks about how people tend to hold on to a relationship, even if it is not working out, merely because they do not want to be the first to let go. The song tells the story of two people who are stuck in a never-ending cycle of a seesaw game, and how they need to put an end to it and move on.
Overall, Trivia 轉 : Seesaw is a beautiful reflection on the struggle of relationships, and how sometimes, it is better to just let go and move on.

가식 섞인 서롤 위하는 척
Pretending and being artificial on top of the seesaw
더는 말고 이젠 결정해야 돼
We need to make a decision now, instead of dragging it out
서로 마음이 없다면
If we don't have feelings for each other
서롤 생각 안 했다면
If we never thought about each other
Oh 우리가 이리도 질질 끌었을까
Oh, did we drag it on this long?
이제 마음이 없다면
If we don't have feelings now
이 시소 위는 위험해 위험해
The seesaw is dangerous, dangerous
내 생각 더는 말고
Stop thinking about me
(Hol' up, hol' up) 니가 없는 이 시소 위를 걸어
Walk on this seesaw without me
(Hol' up, hol' up) 니가 없던 처음의 그때처럼
Like that time when you weren't here
(Hol' up, hol' up) 니가 없는 이 시소에서 내려
Get off this seesaw without me
(Hol' up, hol' up) 니가 없는 처음의 그때처럼
Like that time when you weren't here

You see Suga is talented
He can sing
He can rap

He can be savage
He can be cute in second
He can be hot as fck in second
Haters, now you tell me how come Suga don’t have talents?
@eliza1992
After watching the recent documentary beyond the monument I feel as if this is a song about bts rather than a actual break up
Like Yoongi said in the documentary it was like in a relationship passing the burden/responsibility of saying the word "let's break up" or at that point I bts case "let's disband" from one to another as if on a seesaw becuase no one wants to be labeled as the bad guy the person who broke the team up
BTS really went through alot to be where they are now and I can proudly say that they deserve every bit of success fame and love the world has to offer to them
They truly are the most strongest people that I know and the most inspiring of all
Hope that the path ahead for BTS is only good things and we ARMYs will make sure of that
