BTS started off as a hip-hop group on a small label in 2013. Over the past 10 years, the group has grown into a global sensation, not just as musicians, but as speakers for youth in general. | asianewsnetwork
The first year was not an easy one as BTS braved the hurdles of mainstream K-pop with its minor genre of old school hip-hop. Even so, the septet bagged three rookie of the year awards, winning their fair share of acknowledgement locally.
The album series also raised the group’s recognition globally. BTS’ Billboard history started in November with “The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Part 2,” which reached No. 171 on the albums chart.In 2016, it dropped its legendary album, “The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Young Forever,” which closed the “youth” trilogy and later came to be named among the 25 Best K-pop Albums of the 2010s by Billboard.
It won its historic first trophy, the Top Social Artist award, at the Billboard Music Awards, overtaking six-time winner Justin Bieber and dominating the prize for the next five years. BTS was the first South Korean winner at the BBMAs. BTS continued to write new history locally as well. “Love Yourself: Her” racked up a million copies in sales, winning the band its first million-seller title. The album was the first time in 16 years that a single K-pop album had sold over a million copies since boy band g.o.d’s “Chapter 4” in 2001.
In February, it joined the Grammy Awards as an award presenter, becoming the first Korean singer to attend the ceremony as an award presenter. The next year, they attended as a performer.
