Korean pop music has long ceased to be just music. This is a kind of subculture that attracts modern youth. More and more young men and women are copying the style and mannerisms of South Korean idols. At the moment, Korean music (aka K-pop) is listened to not only in the Asian region, but in Europe, and even in the United States. Famous singers and groups are ready to cooperate with Korean stars. This can only mean that the Koreans are rapidly conquering the world musical Olympus. One of the most popular boy bands is BTS.
Briefly about the team
BTS, now known as the Bangtan Boys and Beyond The Scene, began their journey to stardom in 2013 with the support of Big Hit Entertainment. There were several handsome boys in the lineup: ArM, Jin, Sugi, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook. Not so long ago, the boy band changed its official emblem with the name in Latin. Now the band's name sounds like Beyond The Scene.
