Who is BTS?
BTS is a South Korean boy band formed
in 2010 and debuting in 2013 under Big Hit Entertainment. The
septet—consisting of members Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and
Jungkook—co-writes and co-produces much of their own material.
As of 2022, BTS is the best-selling artist in South Korean history, having
sold in excess of 30 million albums. Their studio album Map of the Soul: 7
(2020) is the best-selling album of all time in South Korea.
Because of their influence, BTS were invited to address the United Nations General Assembly in September 2018 and perform before 400 officials. That year, BTS became the youngest recipients of the Order of Cultural Merit. Despite cultural medals traditionally being given to recipients with over 15 years of achievement, Moon recognized the group, five years into their career, for their contributions in spreading Korean culture and language worldwide.
