Hello and welcome to my site about BTS. If you don't know BTS by now, you have probably been living under a rock. This site is the beginner's guide to their music, who they are, their impact on the Kpop industry, economy and world, and my experience at their Speak Yourself World Tour.
BTS is a seven member kpop group under BigHit Entertainment. The members are RM(Kim Namjoon)*, Jin(Kim Seokjin)*, Suga(Min Yoongi), J-hope(Jung Hoseok), Jimin(Park Jimin), V(Kim Taehyung)* and Jeongkook(Jeon Jungkook). They debuted on June 13, 2013, under BigHit Entertainment. They released many albums that each brought small amounts of success until May of 2015, when they got their first Korean music-show win with, "I Need U". Since then, their popularity has skyrocketed, leading them to win awards and perform on American awards shows like the BBMAs, AMAs and even presenting on the Grammys. In 2019, BTS won best Duo/Group at the Billboard Music Awards. Furthermore, BTS has made many appearances on American reality and talk shows like America's Got Talent, Late Night with Steven Colbert and SNL.
