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.

(What) 긴장해 다
(What) 끝판대장
(What) We are bulletproof
We are bulletproof
Bulletproof
이름은 Jung Kook, 스케일은 전국 (스케일은 전국)
너희가 놀 때, 난 꿈을 집도 (꿈을 집도)
하며 잠을 참아가며 매일 밤새 볼펜을 잡네
아침 해가 뜬 뒤에 나 눈을 감네
이중잣대와 수많은 반대 속에서 깨부숴버린 나의 한계
그에 반해 재수 좋게 회사에 컨택된 속칭
노래 못 해 랩퍼를 당한 너희에게 랩퍼라는 타이틀은 사치
Everywhere I go, everything I do
나 보여줄게 칼을 갈아왔던 만큼
날 무시하던 많은 사람들 이젠
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh) hey shout it out
Oh! 나만치 해봤다면 돌을 던져
We go hard 우린 겁이 없어
(Click click, bang bang) we juss sing it like
(Click click, bang bang) we juss sing it like
Oh! 나만치 해봤다면 돌을 던져
We go hard 우린 겁이 없어
(Click click, bang bang) we juss sing it like
(Click click, bang bang) we juss sing it like

We are bulletproof
Bulletproof (look at my profile)
아직 아무것도 없지 still 연습생 and 랩퍼맨
Yeah I do know that's nuthin
고민도 했지만 이제 필요 없어졌지
넌 아직도 아마추어,
난 메이저, 쭉 그렇게 썩길
랩몬스터, 말처럼 괴물같이 무슨 비트든 간에 난 싹 집어삼켜
충실한 이름값 얘들아 이리와 미리 봐 한낱 아이돌의 반전 하하
힙부심뿐인 형들은 불가능하다 했지 but
똑똑히 봐 이걸 impossible에 마침표 찍어 I'm possible 자 이제 됐니 boy
Everywhere I go, everything I do
나 보여줄게 칼을 갈아왔던 만큼
날 무시하던 많은 사람들 이젠

The song “We Are Bulletproof Pt. 2” by BTS is an anthem of defiance that reflects the group’s early struggles as they worked to establish themselves in the music industry. The lyrics address those who doubted them, calling them out for failing to recognize the group’s talent and hard work. The chorus, “We are bulletproof,” asserts the group's unbreakable persona in the face of the music industry's scrutiny.
The individual verses showcase each member’s personal struggles and experiences. Jungkook, for example, sings about his dedication to honing his craft by practicing singing and dancing all night in the studio. Rap Monster, on the other hand, raps about how people questioned his talent when he was recruited by a company as a rapper even though he couldn’t sing. The group comes together in the chorus to declare their strength and superiority.
Overall, the song is an aspirational anthem that highlights the group's growth, tenacity, and resilience in the face of adversity, creating an empowering message for all those who have faced similar struggles.

이름은 Jung Kook, 스케일은 전국 (스케일은 전국)
My name is Jung Kook, my skills are known across the country
학교 대신 연습실에서 밤새 춤을 추고 노래 불렀네 (불렀네)
Instead of going to school, I spent my nights singing and dancing in the practice room
너희가 놀 때, 난 꿈을 집도 (꿈을 집도)
While you were having fun, I was focused on my dreams
하며 잠을 참아가며 매일 밤새 볼펜을 잡네
I sacrificed sleep and stayed up every night holding a pen
아침 해가 뜬 뒤에 나 눈을 감네
I finally closed my eyes after the morning sun rose
이중잣대와 수많은 반대 속에서 깨부숴버린 나의 한계
I broke through my limits despite facing double standards and opposition
그에 반해 재수 좋게 회사에 컨택된 속칭
In contrast, you lucked out and became an idol without any real talent
노래 못 해 랩퍼를 당한 너희에게 랩퍼라는 타이틀은 사치
You who can't sing but became a rapper, calling yourself a rapper is a luxury
Everywhere I go, everything I do
My dedication is evident in all aspects of my life
날 무시하던 많은 사람들 이젠
Those who underestimated me
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh) hey shout it out
Now shout out in awe of my achievements
Oh! 나만치 해봤다면 돌을 던져
Throw rocks if you think you can do better than me
We go hard 우린 겁이 없어
We are fearless and determined
(Click click, bang bang) we juss sing it like
We make it look easy, like nothing can stand in our way
아직 아무것도 없지 still 연습생 and 랩퍼맨
Despite having nothing yet, I am still an aspiring trainee and rapper
Yeah I do know that's nuthin
I am aware I haven't accomplished much yet
고민도 했지만 이제 필요 없어졌지
I used to worry, but now I don't need to anymore
넌 아직도 아마추어, 난 메이저, 쭉 그렇게 썩길
You're still an amateur, while I am a professional destined for success
랩몬스터, 말처럼 괴물같이 무슨 비트든 간에 난 싹 집어삼켜
As Rap Monster, I devour any beat like a monster, with ease
충실한 이름값 얘들아 이리와 미리 봐 한낱 아이돌의 반전 하하
Come here and witness the reversal of an ordinary idol's fate through hard work and dedication
힙부심뿐인 형들은 불가능하다 했지 but
People thought it was impossible for hip-hop fans, but
똑똑히 봐 이걸 impossible에 마침표 찍어 I'm possible 자 이제 됐니 boy
See it clearly, put a period on the word 'Impossible' and write 'I'm Possible', now do you understand, boy?
Bulletproof
Incredibly resilient and unbreakable
