BTS (Korean: 방탄소년단; RR: Bangtan Sonyeondan), also known as the Bangtan Boys, and in 2017 it also represented Beyond The Scene, is a seven-member South Korean 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 have staged several world tours.

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 14 million copies.
