BTS: Dynamite

An updated biography of the Korean superstars BTS.

After debuting in 2013 with their single album 2 Cool 4 Skool, BTS released their first Korean-language studio album, Dark & Wild, and Japanese-language studio album, Wake Up, in 2014. The group’s second Korean studio album, Wings (2016), was their first to sell one million copies in South Korea.

K-Pop sensations BTS are the biggest boy band in the world and the first Korean act to achieve number one albums and singles in the US and UK with their special brand of turbo-charged hip hop and rap. The talented group of rappers, vocalists, and dancers who make up BTS are RM, Suga, J-Hope, Jin, Jimin, V, and Jungkook. Their fresh sound has made them the most exciting act to dominate the music charts for years and the highest grossing boy band of all time. In total they have sold more than 40 million albums and made number 1 on iTunes in more than 65 countries.

They show no sign of stopping. While they are still creating innovative music, shattering records, and winning awards around the world, their history is still in the making. This is the story so far.
