The Journey Of BTS

Journey of Bangtan

The Beginning:

In early 2010, BTS was originally a small duo with RM and Iron, after some work and deliberation, Bighit transformed BTS from a duo to a group by adding members like J-hope, Junkook, Suga, V, and Jimin, but unfortunately Iron left. In the year 2012, Jin was recruited and the fun fact is that he was previously recruited by SM entertainment. So in the year 2013, the seven members were united and were ready to start their journey ahead.

Finally, they debuted with "No more dream", BTS sought to be a voice to share the daily life struggles of youth, their problems like depression and to be a portrayal of inspiration and hope. Their journey started with bad boy aesthetic in their "2cool4skool" era, the second part of their "School trilogy" was "O!RUL8,2?" that failed to chart high. however their last trilogy "Skool Luv Affair" brought them back to number three on Billboards World Album Chart.

The beginning was not easy for the band to leave their mark in a highly competed k-pop industry. they were faced with troubles regarding touring agencies and bighit's internal issues, BTS still did not slow their pace and continued expressing their emotions through their art & their fandom was widening and it was not too late when they knew that there is a lot worthwhile in this band.

In 2015, BTS had its "Highlight Tour" in the united states but were faced with disrespect. At that time BTS was still a small group comparatively but their loyal fans titled "army" were still on their side tweeting and complaining to the company that mistreated the boys. This was a difficult time for BTS but despite all of them still received so much love from their dear fans.

The next released was a banger for BTS, their live trilogy "The most beautiful moment in life, Part 1" was the only Korean album to be included in fuse's list of "27 best albums of 2015 so far" ." I need you" was a top five hit on weekly hit on Gaon Digital Chart.during their Young forever era, BTS started gaining popularity. They had a two-day concert in Seoul to celebrate the release of their new album. their album later won ' album of the year' at the Melon Music Award becoming the group's first major grand prize.

Their next studio album was released in 2016 which sold over 44000 copies on its first-day ranking no.1 in Japan "I need you" and "run" were released as singles. While in Korea, "Blood Sweat and Tears" achieved all-kill in South Korea and later won the 'Artist of the year awards', becoming the first artist not from the big three entertainment companies-YG, SM and JYP.

Finally in January 2018 BTS collected their first double platinum certification from RIAJ and became the only single "Mic Drop/DNA" single and became the only single album by foreign artists in 2017 and received certification on Orion chart for the year.

BTS made history as their "Love Yourself : Tear" was #1 on "billboard 200", like many kpop groups before them, they have grown into a true inspiration for the upcoming groups, they were a major appearance at the Grammys this year and we hope that they soon get one for their art and determination.
