How did BTS get their start?
BTS, otherwise known as the Bangtan Boys, is a South Korean boy band that has taken the world by storm. Despite their current global fame, the group has worked hard to get where they are today. Here’s a look at BTS’s career trajectory and how they became the idol group they are today.
Early Beginnings
BTS began their career as a hip-hop group in 2010 when the members were teenagers. Their journey began when Big Hit Entertainment, a South Korean record label, organized an audition for the group. After weeks of auditioning, the company decided to sign seven teenage boys: RM, Suga, Jin, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook.
Finding their Sound
In 2013, BTS released their first single, “No More Dream,” which established the group as a rising star in the K-pop world. Following that success, BTS released their debut album, “2Cool 4Skool,” which highlighted their hip-hop sound.
Then in 2016, with the release of their album “Wings,” BTS developed a more mature, alternative sound and enjoyed even more success. Since then, BTS has released several critically acclaimed albums that have cemented their place as one of the biggest names in the K-pop industry.
Breaking Records
Since their debut, BTS has broken numerous records. They are the first Korean band to:
-
- Top the Billboard 200 Chart
-
- Reach 10 million followers on Twitter
-
- Be nominated for a Grammy Award
These are just a few of the many accomplishments that BTS has achieved in their career so far.
The Future of BTS
BTS is not slowing down any time soon. They are continuing to release hit singles, collaborate with artists from all over the world, and break records wherever they go. With a dedicated fanbase, the sky is the limit for these seven stars, and their future looks bright.
BTS has come a long way from their humble beginnings, and there is no telling how far they will go.
