'''BTS''' (Korean: 방탄소년단; RR: Bangtan Sonyeondan), also known as the '''Bangtan Boys''', and since 2017 also represented as '''Beyond The Scene''', is a seven-member [[South Korea]]n [[Boy Band]] formed in Seoul in 2013. The septet co-writes and produces much of their output. Initially rooted in [[Hip Hop]], the group’s musical style has evolved to include a wide range of genres. Their lyrics, often focused on personal and social commentary, touch on the themes of mental health, troubles of school-age youth, loss, the journey towards loving oneself, and individualism. Their work features references to literature and psychological concepts and includes an alternative universe storyline. Popular for their live performances, the group has staged several world tours.
They are often perceived as a major 'Korean Wave' act which has helped Korean music and culture have more influence in the West.
In 2019, their album ''MAP OF THE SOUL: PERSONA'' has sold more than 3 million copies in South Korea: the highest-selling album ever there. In total, their albums sold more than 16 million copies.▼
