BTS

BTS is active as of 2026-11-15.

Bangtan Sonyeondan, often translated as "Bulletproof Boy Scouts," is widely explained as a promise to shield teenagers from prejudice, criticism and pressure, just as a bulletproof vest stops bullets. BTS is the abbreviation of the Korean name, and the group later added a second meaning, "Beyond The Scene." For the exact wording, the agency's official introduction is the best reference.

BTS debuted on June 13, 2013, with "No More Dream." The debut track is a hip-hop song about the dreams and realities of teenagers, and it captures the group's early identity well. Every year around June 13, fans around the world celebrate the anniversary of the group's debut together.

BTS is managed by BIGHIT MUSIC. Album releases, concerts and official announcements for the group come through BIGHIT MUSIC and its official channels.

BTS has seven members: RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook. The group is active as a full seven-member team, and in 2026 all seven released the group album ARIRANG together. Each member also has a distinct role and personality that fans enjoy discovering.

ARMY is the official name of the BTS fandom. It is known as an abbreviation of "Adorable Representative M.C. for Youth," and it also plays on the idea that an army and a bulletproof vest always go together. Fans all over the world proudly call themselves ARMY when supporting the group.
