BTS is a popular boy band from South Korea. The abbreviation was first deciphered in different ways. The final version of "Bulletproof Scouts" initially brought smiles to the members of the team, but later they got used to it and did not change it.
The well-known production center Big Hit took up the selection of the team in 2010. Today, this purely Korean product is known all over the world.
The beginning of the path of the group BTS
Immediately after the choice of future participants, the period of preparing the material and "promotion" of the team began. Not all participants were able to overcome the path of becoming. The final composition was formed only in 2012.
The producers of the team have relied on the Internet. They "promoted" the profiles of the members of the BTS group before the release of the first tracks.
The band members actively communicated with the fans and created a huge community that was ready for the new material. It was decided to place the first tracks on YouTube. They immediately became popular among Korean teenagers.
The band's first album 2 Cool 4 Skool was released in 2013. Most of the songs were recorded in the hip-hop genre. The disc immediately became popular among the youth. Teenagers appreciated the compositions in which they sang about school life and first love.
The second album was not long in coming and was released only a few months after the first. It was called O!RUL8,2, and the Bulletproof Scouts became even more popular. Both records were awarded national music awards in South Korea.
In 2014, the third mini-album was released. All three records were in the same theme - school romance. Immediately after the release of Skool Luv Affair, the guys went to conquer the Japanese market and recorded the album Wake Up.
It contained Japanese versions of the best songs from the band's first three records. The album was well received not only in Japan, but also in the US.
The first major tour of the BTS team took place in Asian countries with a resounding success. The group's albums were very popular not only in South Korea, but also in the Philippines, China and other countries.

The next album "Wings" was released in 2017. The song "Spring Day" became a worldwide hit, the video for this song on YouTube gained 9 million views in a day.
But he was interrupted by the next video clip for the song "Not Today" - 10 million views immediately after the release.
