Who is BTS?

BTS (or Beyond the Scene, or Bulletproof Boy Scouts, or Bangtan Sonyeondan) is one of many successful K-Pop groups in the industry, falling under one of the underdogs of companies — Big Hit Ent. — they have recently hit the Americas with their long-awaited performance at the AMA's. This article was created due to their long schedule during November 2017, and to create less confusion with Americans who don't know these men and their art.

What is K-Pop (briefly)?

Literally shorthand for "Korean pop," k-pop is one of the most intricate and hard-working forms of art I've ever seen. From weekly performances, monthly comebacks (sometimes), and some variety shows in the mix — a lot occurs in these idols' lives.

For those who don't know, k-pop has already been important to many in the Americas. As seen in yearly K-Pop Conventions, millions come around from the Americas to see their favorite groups perform (if they're contacted) in either New York or Los Angeles. This is all thanks to the people at K-Con USA!

Who is BTS?

Composed of seven members, and debuted in 2013, these men have composed music even when they were still teenagers/ trainees for their companies, along with that they've learned and created choreographies for songs as well.

Who is Big Hit Entertainment?

As you've read, they're the company that occupies BTS. The company has/ had groups, soloists, and actors/ actresses. The company was established in 2005 by Bang Si-hyuk.

Do the members speak English?

Although the boys have made their US 'debut' at the AMA's, only one member out of the group can fluently speak English — RM/ Namjoon. But the other members are trying their best to learn the language! Namjoon self-taught himself English.

Although this may seem vague to some of the ARMY's out there, this is just an introduction to all of the Americans who don't know these talented boys and their art yet!
