Formed by Big Hit Entertainment, BTS a.k.a. Bangtan Boys is a South Korean boyband consisting of seven members, JinJ-HopeSugaJiminVJungkook and leader Rap Monster. Literally translated as "Bulletproof Boy Scouts", BTS got its members recruited through the agency's "Hit It" auditions in 2010 and 2011, before being finalized in 2012.

Prior to debuting in 2013, some of BTS' members had their career started as underground performers. Rap Monster was an underground rapper and had released several tracks, including a collaboration with Zico. J-Hope was a member of a street dance troupe named Neuron, while Suga was an underground rapper in Daegu. Jungkook previously competed on Mnet's "Superstar K" before joining Big Hit. Jin was a film arts student at Konkuk University when he was street-cast for auditions. Prior to debut, Jimin was the top student in modern dance in Busan High School of Arts and later transferred to Korea Arts High School with fellow member V. 

The group debuted on June 12, 2013 with "No More Dream" off their first album titled "2 Cool 4 Skool". It didn't take long for BTS to receive love from South Korean fans as they won New Artist of the Year awards at the 2013 Melon Music Awards, Golden Disc Awards and the 2014 Seoul Music Award. After releasing their first extended play, "O!RUL8,2?", BTS came back with their 3rd part of the "school trilogy" with second EP "Skool Luv Affair" on February 12, 2014. "Boy in Luv", the title track off the album, was well received in South Korea and worldwide with the album peaking at No. 3 on Billboard's World Album Charts.

In December, BTS later expanded their career in Japan by releasing their very first Japan studio effort, "Wake Up". In addition to Japanese versions of their songs, the album consisted of two original Japanese songs, "Wake Up" and "The Stars". Still in 2014, BTS greeted fans not only in South Korea, but also the Philippines, Singapore, Japan, Thailand and Malaysia through their first concert tour, "2014 BTS Live Trilogy - Episode II: The Red Bullet".
After holding their second concert tour in Korea, titled "BTS Live Trilogy - Episode 1: BTS Begins" in 2015, the group dropped their third EP "The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Part 1" on April 29. Fune dubbed the album one of the "27 Best Albums of 2015 So Far", while title track "I Need U" earned the group first place on SBS MTV'S "The Show", selling 200,000 copies since the release.
