BTS, also known as the
Bangtan Boys, is a South Korean boy band formed in 2010.
The band consists of Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, who co-write or co-produce much of their material. Originally a hip hop group, they expanded their musical
style to incorporate a wide range of genres, while their lyrics have focused on subjects including mental health, the troubles of school-age youth and coming of age, loss, the journey towards
self-love, individualism, and the consequences of fame and recognition. In 2020, BTS became the fastest group since the Beatles to chart four US number-one albums in less than
two years, with Love Yourself: Answer (2018) becoming the first Korean album certified Platinum by the RIAA; in the same year, they also became the first all-South Korean act to reach number
one on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard Global 200 with their Grammy-nominated single "Dynamite". Follow-up releases "Savage Love", "Life Goes On", "Butter", and "Permission to
Dance" made them the fastest act to earn four US number-one singles since Justin Timberlake in 2006.
