If you're a K-pop fan, you've definitely heard of BTS (Beyond the Scene, Bangtan Boys) before, as they are one of the biggest groups in Korean music today.
But if you're not a K-pop fan, you may have still heard of the seven-person hip-hop group. After all, earlier this year, they won the Billboard Social Media award. Now, with invites to the AMAs, the Jimmy Kimmel Show, and the Ellen Show, they're now in the middle of the American spotlight.
BTS is perhaps the biggest deal in the West since PSY and Big Bang.
But why is BTS so famous these days? And how did BTS become popular in just four years, especially since they came from a small company? Let this video be your guide to BTS -- a BTS for beginners, if you will -- to introducing the group.
It's time to break down the group's journey in "The Rise of BTS."
