The superstar phenomenon BTS are not only dominating the charts worldwide -- they're also changing how people connect with art and music, and here's why.
The Korean septet Bangtan Sonyeondan (방탄소년단) AKA Bulletproof Boys - RM, j-hope, SUGA, Jin, V, Jimin, and Jung Kook - have been together for a decade, perfecting their talents across entertainment and musical genres.
Then they created something completely original that was much needed by a sad world -- a modern entertainment lifestyle supported by a variety of never-ending content overflowing with hope and positivity.
This hard-working group write, compose, produce, and perform their music (in Korean, Japanese, and English), along with perfectly synchronized choreography, and tirelessly travel for sold-out world tours, fan meetings, and endless live performances.
There's also mixtapes and solo songs, plus films, documentaries, reality and variety shows like the hilarious game show Run BTS!, travel series Bon Voyage, behind the scenes Bangtan Bombs, also apps and games, webtoons, graphic novels, plus new surprises arrive annually with FESTA, Seasons Greetings, and Winter Packages.
BTS constantly entertain and interact via texts, photos, VLIVE and YouTube videos on everything from heartfelt talks, how-to videos, art projects, cooking shows, dance performances, plus curated content on song: #RMUSIC, dance: Hope on the Street, music: Tae Tae FM, radio: Honey FM, food: Eat Jin, and film: Golden Closet Film.
What makes these artists so extraordinary is not their polished performances, natural comedic talents, or how they’ve toppled Asian stereotypes -- it’s that they’re such a positive influence for the world’s most inspired fanbase, ARMY, because they speak out about social rights, mental health, and self love.
From the Connect, BTS global project to unite art and music, Love Myself campaign to end violence, Speak Yourself speech to empower youth, Dear Class of 2020 talk to encourage grads, Clean Energy sustainable future initiative, to the millions made happier every day -- BTS use
their influence to make the world a better place.
This is a collection of some of their most uplifting and motivational lyrics.
Like an echo in the forest
The day will come back around
As if nothing happened
Yeah, life goes on
Like an arrow in the blue sky
Another day flying by
On my pillow, on my table
Yeah, life goes on
Like this again
Life Goes On
Can't hold me down 'cuz you know I'm a fighter
ON
Don’t be trapped in someone else’s dream
N.O
Go your own way
Even if you live a day
Do something
Put weakness away
No More Dream
In the dark dawn, spreading trembling wings
Keep on shining make it brighter than a spotlight
Dream Glow
If I want to die,
I’ll strive to live as much as I want to die
Moonchild - RM

Today we will survive
If you can’t run, then walk
Today we will survive
If you can’t walk, then crawl
Not Today
Even all the scars from your mistakes make up your constellation
Answer: Love Myself
90% of your worries are just an imaginary swamp that you created

But they are wings headed for the light
Though it’s hard and it hurts
If I can fly, I will fly

Though I walk this crazy world’s
path
I still want to live longer
I want to find it, my faith

In a world where you feel cold
You gotta stay gold

Just go instead of worrying
Go Go
Don’t worry even if I leave
You’ll do well on your own

You are shining so brightly
Save Me
When you close your eyes
In the darkness, my light
Lights the way for you
Let's walk forward without fear, you and I

If you have moments where you feel happiness for a while
It’s alright to stop
Now we don’t run without knowing the destination
It’s alright to not have a dream
All the breaths you breathe are already in paradise
Paradise
You are the standard for happiness and you walk that road

It’s my hobby to prove you wrong
We On
In a sigh, a lot of worries are hiding
Stop thinking about it, you already know it all
In the middle of the road, in the moment you want to give up
Shout out louder
So what, what, what
So What
Nothing can devour me
I shout out with ferocity

When the minute and second hands overlap
The world holds its breath for a little while

There is nothing permanent in the world
Everything is just a happening passing through
People - Agust D
Nothing lasts forever
You only live once
So live your life, not any other’s lives
Take chances and never regret, never
Never be late to do what you wanna do right now
Because at one point of someday
Everything you did
Would be exactly what you will be
Right?

I should love myself
