The Korean boy band have taken the world by storm. In fact, they are fresh off their American TV debut at the 2017 American Music Awards this past week. Both new versions of the track MIC DROP feature Korean lyrics intermingled with lyrics in English. If their social media following and immense international fan base don't have you convinced, the track shot to #1 on iTunes in the U.S. just hours after it was release.
Within four years of their 2013 debut, BTS went from winning several newcomer awards - including the Newcomer Award at the 2014 Golden Disc Awards, New Artist Award at the 2014 Seoul Music Awards and Best New Artist at the 2015 Japan Gold Disc Awards - to becoming full-fledged Korean super idols. Comprised of band members Rap Monster, V, JungKook, Jin, Suga, J-Hope and Jimin, their remarkable impact is felt not only in Korea and all of Asia, but across the globe. Concert tickets and merchandise sales around the world confirm their universal appeal. Most recently, BTS has been recognized with awards including Best Korean Act at the 2015 MTV Europe Music Awards, Choice International Artist at the 2017 TEEN CHOICE AWARDS and Favorite International Artist or Group at the 2017 Nickelodeon Mexico Kids' Choice Awards. BTS also won the Top Social Artist award at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards, ultimately proving K-pop can compete and thrive on a global scale.
