BTS
방탄소년단
BTS, or Beyond the Scene, is a
seven-member musical act from South Korea. The group was established
under the management of
BigHit Music
(now under HYBE Corporation), a South Korean entertainment company
founded by songwriter and producer Bang Shi Hyuk. Despite the company’s
initial setbacks and limited resources,
BigHit
believed in their motto, “music and artist for healing,” and
fostered an environment that allowed artists to develop their talents
and to advance on their own authority. The members of BTS include Kim
Namjoon (the leader), Kim Seokjin, Min Yoongi, Jung Hoseok, Park Jimin,
Kim Taehyung, and Jeon Jungkook. More officially, each member is
referred to by his stage name (in the same order): RM, Jin, SUGA,
j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook.
BTS has announced that the band will begin a hiatus through 2025 while
each member completes their required military service, with the members
focusing on solo projects.
