After BTS performed at New Years Rockin’ Eve, many confused but intrigued Americans took to social media to ask who the boys were, what language they were speaking, and confessed to being captivated by their strong performance. On the flip side, xenophobic and racist, MAGA trash showed their stank asses as usual. What else is new?
Are you as confused too? Don't worry I gotchu fam! BTS is a self-made, artist-driven 7-member South Korean pop/hiphop group. Unlike most other kpop acts, BTS actually write and produce their own music and contribute to choreographies/concepts. It seems like these days, BTS, who have a dedicated legion of fans called “Army”, are everywhere. If you’re on the Internet, it’s hard to avoid arguably the strongest fandom for a current musical act.
How have they amassed such dedicated Army? From endless content, fan interaction, talent, genuine and fun personalities, their CONNECTED UNIVERSE (MCU who?) that drive endless fan theories and interest, to their powerful social messages in their music that anybody can resonate with, BTS have truly made Army (Averaging 30) part of their story.
They also just so happen to have an extremely strong American fan base and the music industry has taken notice. There isn’t a day that goes by where Billboard, Grammys, MTV, and other famous U.S. media don’t report on their every move. 2017 was a landmark year for them that saw them break into the U.S. market and achieve a top 30 hit (Stream Mic Drop on Spotify lol). 2018 looks to be even crazier and they show no signs of stopping.
It's time to introduce you to the men you'll be hearing a lot about. Check out member profiles below.
