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.

- all lowercase letters: All the song titles in mono.
- Cerebus Syndrome: The video clip for "I NEED U", with its shocking plot and high angst content, marked a change of direction on the group career. Not that they stopped having silly or light MV, but the video clips for its more serious song became darker and filled with symbology.
- The Danza: in the BU universe, the characters have the same real name than the group members.
- Money Song: "If I Ruled the World".
- Silly Love Songs: "Blanket Kick," "Miss Right," "Just One Day" and "Boy in Luv," among others.
- Take That, Critics!: "MIC Drop" and "IDOL" are directed to every persom that told them they couldn't make it. The videoclip for "IDOL" even includes visual cues on the members wearing or doing things they had been criticized for online.
