BTS was not born overnight. Since 2010, the company Big Hit Entertainment has tirelessly auditioned to find the perfect members for this concept that was born in 2013. Although the band is from K-pop, the success behind BTS is characterized by mixing various genres such as R&B, dance and especially hip-hop. It is precisely this great mix of rhythms that has positioned them at the top of the charts and in the hearts of their entire audience: it is new music that has completely renewed K-pop.

Before, to meet an artist you had to listen to him on the radio or premiere a video on television. Well, BTS did it and was the first Korean band to position itself as one of the most important K-pop bands worldwide. thanks to all the digital material they uploaded, which resulted in an impressive fame. BTS is the first South Korean band to gain a foothold in the American music industry and gain recognition, thus leaving an easy "path" for future South Korean bands or artists to follow.

One of the reasons why the BTS band has achieved such great success is that they are the producers of their own work, and do not completely depend on external agents for music, lyrics and styles. And it is this creative freedom and its mixture of musical genres that has guaranteed its success.

There are a lot of different factors that have helped them become what they are nowadays, but we can stand out a little more some of them that are the most important. The first factor we will talk about is their music; BTS songs cover subjects such as bullying, elitism, and mental health, helping people who listen to them by every message in their songs. Also, we must jut out their performances. BTS members have slick dance routines and extremely impressive music videos, working at them for 12 to 15 hours a day to get each choreography right.
Another relevant point is that nowadays people have the internet; therefore, fans all over the world could be able to know them. A BTS member, Yoongi, also said, "I think we're so lucky to be born at the right time. Without social media, we wouldn't have been so successful."
And as the last idea, we have their fans, known as ARMY. They have 60.4M followers on Instagram, 37.6M on their official Twitter, and 44.3M on the band's Twitter. They have been nominated 643 times and won 446.
