Telling the Story of BTS

By The New Yorker

The writer E. Tammy Kim recently published a piece about how BTS became arguably the most popular band in history . The newsletter editor Jessie Li spoke to Kim about what it was like to report on the Korean boy band and the thrill of seeing them live at their final concert before they announced, on June 14th, that they were taking a break.

What was your first introduction to BTS? What made you realize that this was a story you wanted to pursue?

I started noticing a few years ago that K-pop fandom was being eclipsed by a more specific BTS ARMY —which stands for “Adorable Representative M.C. for Youth”—fandom. But I sort of ignored it—thinking of myself as someone who reported on more “respectable” Korean topics—until I realized how silly that was. This is the biggest band in the world!

Devoted fans describe BTS as a form of self-care and therapy; they talk about how the band “saved” them, and how they “do so much for us.” How would you describe the special allure of BTS that distinguishes them from other bands, including other Korean boy bands?

There’s an intensely felt reciprocity between BTS and its fans. The members produce daily content, and shout-out and interact with fans on a very emotional level, which leads fans, in turn, to want to give back.

In April, you attended the final performance of the band’s “Permission to Dance” tour, in Las Vegas. What was the most surprising or unexpected moment you experienced when you attended the concert?

I’d never been in a concert attended by sixty-five thousand people—and then to have all those people, of every stripe, singing in Korean, my household tongue. I was overwhelmed!

If you had to devise a mixtape of just three BTS songs or music videos for a novice listener, what would you pick and why?

The music videos for “ Black Swan ,” “ IDOL ,” and “ ON ” are aesthetically thrilling and convey the band’s musical and choreographic range.

Having finally delved into the world of BTS (as you write, “nine years of music, dancing, articles, and tweets”), do you now identify as a member of BTS’s ARMY , as fans call themselves? And do you have a bias—a favorite member of the band?

ARMY ’s devotion is such that I wouldn’t dare call myself ARMY ! In terms of a bias, I can’t say for sure, but I really dig SUGA’s candor and appreciate the fact that, very early on, he wrote a song commemorating the Gwangju uprising of 1980, a key moment in South Korea’s democratization.

50 Awesome Facts About BTS That You Should Know

BTS has a lot of meanings - the original one being “Bangtan Sonyeondan”, which means “Bulletproof Boy Scouts” in Korean.

BTS has been taking the world by storm for a while now, and there are no signs of them slowing down.

With a massive following on a global scale, if you haven’t heard of this prominent K-Pop group by now, you should start getting used to seeing them everywhere!

Here are the top 50 most awesome facts about BTS that everyone should know!

BTS has a lot of meanings – the original one being “Bangtan Sonyeondan” which means “Bulletproof Boy Scouts” in Korean. It signifies deflecting stereotypes, criticisms, and expectations like bullets.

The acronym now also stands for “Beyond the Scene.”

BTS consists of seven male members – Jin, Suga, J-Hppe, RM, V, Jungkook, and Jimin. The “leader” is RM.

This popular K-Pop group wasn’t self-created – an entertainment company called Big Hit Entertainment held auditions to recruit members starting in 2010.

The ultimate group wasn’t finalized until 2013.

BTS started gaining attention six months before their debut due to their presence on social media and song covers.

In March 2016, Forbes listed BTS as the most re-tweeted artist.

BTS released 29 music videos and 22 singles in just 6 years from 2013 to 2018 .

The first album released by BTS was “Dark and Wild” which came out on August 19 , 2014.

BTS put on their own variety show which they starred in called “Rookie King: Channel Bangtan.”

As of July 2018, BTS has won 53 awards since their formation.

BTS is known for their lyrics that touch on sensitive topics like school bullying, societal ideals, mental health issues, suicide, nihilism, and female empowerment.

RM was originally known as “Rap Monster,” changing to the abbreviation in 2017 . His full name is actually Kim Nam-Joon.

RM learned English by watching the popular American sitcom “ Friends .”

RM is also the only member who can carry a conversation in English.

BTS member, Suga, is known for rapping in the band, but he also is proficient at the piano.

Jungkook is the youngest member of the group, born on September 1 , 1997.

Fans of BTS are called “ARMY” which is an acronym for “Adorable Representative M.C. for Youth.”

Unlike most K-Pop bands, BTS holds a leading role in producing most of their own music. Many people believe this is an attribution to their success.

BTS performed at the 2017 American Music Awards which was their first-ever TV performance in the United States.

BTS was the first K-Pop group to get their own Twitter emojis.

The emoji was established as a challenge for BTS to find where their biggest fanbases were located. In the end, Brazil, Turkey, and Russia came out on top.

BTS has sold at least 7 million albums globally as of July 2018.

The third full-length album from BTS called “Love Yourself: Tear” launched at number one on the Billboard 200, which made them the only K-Pop group to do so.

Their album “Love Yourself: Her” retailed more than 1.2 million copies on South Korea’s Gaon Album Chart in its first month of release. It became the biggest selling Korean album by month in 16 years.

BTS has two certified Gold singles – “Mic Drop Remix” and “DNA.” There are the first and so far only Korean artists to acquire two Gold certifications.

BTS have been brand ambassadors for Puma since 2015.

Elsword, an RPG game by Nexon, revealed character avatars based on the members of BTS.

In 2018, Coca-Cola Korea brought on BTS as campaign models.

BTS donated seven tons of rice to charity in 2016 at the K-Star Road opening ceremony.

BTS has certainly done their share of giving back – in 2017, each member donated KR₩10,000,000 (roughly 8,950 USD) to the families of the 2014 Sewol Ferry Disaster.

Group member V played the saxophone for three years in school.

In the future, Jungkook has said that he either wants to own a duck restaurant or be a tattoo artist.

During their debut performance, Jin’s pants fell down!

The members of BTS compete over the number of re-tweets their Twitter accounts get.

In the BTS dorm, they used to collect 1,000 wons from any member who broke a house rule.

Eventually, they got rid of the charge because people kept breaking the rules and the money they had to pay was too much.

The money they collected from this rule was mostly used to buy chicken and pizza !

After South Korea beat Germany in the 2018 World Cup , BTS’s new song “Fake Love” climbed 31 spots in the charts.

The members of BTS moved into one of the most expensive apartment complexes in Seoul in late 2017.

For a little perspective, one of the units in the same complex sold for about 75 million USD.

Suga once said that if he became rich, he would buy fans beef, which is expensive in South Korea because of import fees. On his 25 th birthday, he donated $19,000 worth of beef to feed orphans.

BTS is big into fashion, some of their favorite brands being Gucci , WTAPS, and Calvin Klein .

BTS landed a spot on Time Magazine’s 2018 list of 25 Most Influential People on the Internet.

When BTS paired up with UNICEF, inspired fans eagerly donated to the cause and raised $1,000,000 in less than two days for UNICEF’s campaign to feed malnourished children.

The shortest member of BTS is Jimin, who is 5.74 feet (175 cm) tall.

The tallest member of BTS is RM, who is 5.94 feet (181 cm) tall.

None of the BTS members are from Seoul, even though many people think so. They are actually all from different provinces.

Before Suga was introduced to hip-hop, Suga only listened to Classical music.

Originally, Jimin’s stage name was supposed to be either Baby J or Young Kid.

So, as the world goes crazy over K-Pop groups there’s no denying that like “Dynamite” boyband BTS are at the forefront of this popular movement. 

Who knows what they have in store for us in the years to come!

A Beginner’s Guide To BTS For Everyone Who Is Curious

It's never too late to get to know the pure joy that is BTS.

BuzzFeed Contributor

Welcome to the world of BTS .

While BTS are by no means a new phenomenon, they are picking up new fans all the time. If you're one, or you're even just mildly curious and perhaps want to learn their names (warning: that's how it starts for everyone), this post is for you.

Maybe you saw an article about one of the many records they've broken, or their charity , or the passion of their fans . Perhaps it was a Twitter fancam that did it, or a music video , or a performance that drew you in.

Whatever caught your interest, it can be overwhelming to dip your toe into the BTS pool at first. Nine years' worth of content is A LOT – especially with a band as prolific as BTS. But there's also a lot of joy to be found once you start making your way through it. So consider this a basic overview to help guide you on your trip down the rabbit hole...

Who are BTS?

BTS are a seven-member group from South Korea who debuted on June 13, 2013. Their name in Korean is 방탄소년단 – which means Bangtan Sonyeondan and translates to Bulletproof Boy Scouts. Their fans are known as ARMY. Originally focused on hip-hop, over the years BTS have diversified their range and produced a vast array of music (and a lot of other content, too). When it comes to BTS, there's basically something for everyone.

In terms of following the band, there are several platforms to check out, depending on what you're interested in. The seven members share one Twitter account, @BTS_twt , which they use for personal updates. They also use the app Weverse for sharing posts and photos and interacting with fans, while the VLive app is where they mainly livestream. The members also have their own personal Instagram accounts, which you can find here: RM , Jin , Suga , J-Hope , Jimin , V , and Jungkook . 

BTS' YouTube channel, Bangtan TV , is where behind-the scenes clips, dance practices and video logs are dropped.

BTS' Soundcloud is where you'll find a whole bunch of music the band has released for free, from pre-debut songs to solo tracks and mixtapes to covers of their fave artists.

The band has an official Twitter , Instagram , and Facebook , all of which are updated by staff and used primarily for official announcements and photos.

New video content tends to come with English subtitles, and livestreams are typically subtitled within a day or two. But Google translations for social content are basically never accurate, so it's a good idea to follow fan translators who collectively provide almost instant translations. Here's a Twitter list of some fans who regularly translate BTS content into English.

Meet The Members

RM a.k.a. Kim Namjoon

RM, 27, is the leader of BTS and part of their rapline (that is, the rappers of the group). He was formerly known as Rap Monster, but changed his stage name to RM in 2017.

RM is fluent in English, having learnt it from watching Friends growing up, and is known for his intelligence and introspection. His hobbies include bicycling, bonsais, visiting galleries and museums, and collecting art and woodwork.

While all the members of BTS are involved in song-writing and music production, RM writes a significant portion of their lyrics. His solo songs within BTS include "Intro: What Am I To You" , "Reflection" , "Trivia 承: Love" , and "Intro: Persona" .

In addition to their work with BTS, each member has solo projects. For RM, that's his two mixtapes – RM and Mono – as well as the song "Bicycle" and collaborations with artists such as Lil Nas X , Younha , eAeon , and Wale .

Jin a.k.a. Kim Seokjin

Jin, 29, is the eldest member of BTS and a part of the vocal line (i.e. the vocalists). He originally trained as an actor, but was scouted off the street by Big Hit Entertainment, the agency that formed BTS.

Jin's nickname is "Worldwide Handsome", which he earned after going viral several times for his good looks. He has a cheerful personality and goofy sense of humor that is rife with dad jokes, which he often uses to break the ice and set the other members at ease during public appearances.

Jin sometimes does mukbang (i.e. "eating broadcast") livestreams using the name Eat Jin . He spends a lot of his spare time gaming, and also enjoys fishing, especially with fellow member Suga.

His solo songs for BTS include "Awake" , "Epiphany" , and "Moon" , and he's also released several songs of his own, including "Tonight" , "Abyss" , "Yours" (for the soundtrack of K-drama Jirisan ), and "Super Tuna" .

Suga a.k.a. Min Yoongi

Suga, 29, is a part of the rapline of BTS. He's quite introverted, but is also a direct communicator with a dry sense of humor.

While all the members of BTS often display strong emotional intelligence, this is especially the case with Suga – he frequently dispenses realistic but comforting advice to both the other members and fans.

Suga often acts as an MC in BTS shows (more on those later), and in 2020 did his own version of a radio livestream series called Honey FM . Suga grew up playing piano and basketball, and is learning guitar and other instruments.

His solo songs for BTS are "Intro: The Most Beautiful Moment in Life" , "First Love" , "Trivia 轉: Seesaw" , and "Interlude: Shadow" . He has released two solo mixtapes under the name Agust D, called Agust D and D-2 . Suga has also collaborated with Halsey , Max , Lee So-ra , and Psy , as well as produced music for artists like ØMI , Heize , Epik High , Suran , and IU .

J-Hope a.k.a. Jung Hoseok

J-Hope , 28, is the third member of BTS' rapline. With a background in street dance, J-Hope is one of the primary dancers of the group.

His stage name is no coincidence, and J-Hope is often called "sunshine" by fans because of how outgoing and bubbly he is. His catchphrase is "I'm your hope, you're my hope, I'm J-Hope", and the other members frequently credit him with giving them energy. He's also passionate about fashion, and his eclectic clothes reflect his bright personality.

J-Hope has a series of dance videos called "Hope On The Street", in which he uploads clips or livestreams himself dancing, sometimes with others as guests.

J-Hope's BTS solos include "Intro: Boy Meets Evil" , "Mama" , "Trivia 起: Just Dance" , and "Outro: Ego" . As a solo artist, he has released the mixtape Hope World , the single "Chicken Noodle Soup" featuring Becky G , and an official album, Jack in the Box , which included lead singles "More" and "Arson" .

Jimin a.k.a. Park Jimin

Jimin, 26, is a vocalist and another of the primary dancers of BTS, with a background in contemporary dance.

Jimin is an extrovert who often talks about how he thrives in the company of others and enjoys spending a lot of time with his friends. He's known as a "memory squirrel" because of his habit of taking and collecting Polaroids.

Jimin is frequently shown to be affectionate and caring, leading birthday celebrations and offering comfort when the others are upset. But he also has a Slytherin streak that manifests in a wicked sense of humor.

Jimin's solo songs with BTS are "Lie" , "Serendipity" , and "Filter" . As a soloist he's also released "Promise" and "Christmas Love" , as well as a collaboration with his friend Ha Sungwoon called "With You" for the soundtrack of Our Blues .

V a.k.a. Kim Taehyung

V, 25, is part of BTS' vocal line. He has a reputation for being friendly and outgoing, with a mischievous sense of humor. He is often shown thinking outside of the box and coming up with unique ideas.

V has a love of visual arts and is especially interested in photography. He sometimes shares his own work under the name Vante .

He also has acting experience, having starred in the k-drama Hwarang . He became close friends with fellow castmembers Park Seojoon and Park Hyungsik, and together with actor Choi Wooshik and musician Peakboy, they have a famous friendship group called the Wooga Squad , which was documented on 2022's reality series In the Soop: Friendcation .

V's solo songs with BTS are "Stigma" , "Singularity" , and "Inner Child" . He has also released several songs as a soloist, including "4 O'Clock" (with RM), "Scenery" , "Winter Bear" , "It's Definitely You" (with Jin, for the Hwarang soundtrack), "Sweet Night" (for the soundtrack of Park Seojoon's drama Itaweon Class ), and "Snow Flower" (which features Peakboy).

Jungkook a.k.a. Jeon Jungkook

Jungkook is a vocalist and, at 24, the maknae (i.e. youngest member) of BTS. He's open-hearted and a perfectionist, with a reputation for being good at everything (especially singing and dancing) that's earned him the nickname "Golden Maknae".

He's athletic and loves the gym and adrenaline-fuelled activities. He boxes as a hobby, and he also gets creative in his spare time, occasionally sharing his art with fans.

Jungkook is particularly passionate about video, filming and editing his own clips while travelling with BTS and releasing them under the name G.C.F. (which stands for Golden Closet Film).

His solo songs with BTS include "Begin" , "Euphoria" and "My Time" . He's uploaded many covers to BTS' Soundcloud, and has released several songs as a soloist, including "Still With You" , "My You" , "Stay Alive" (which was produced by Suga for the 7 Fates: Chakho webtoon), and a collaboration with Charlie Puth called "Left and Right" .

The Music Of BTS

BTS generally releases music as part of ongoing series that focus on different themes and tell specific stories. While their music videos usually include captions with English subtitles, in general they don't release official English translations for all of their songs. There are, however, plenty of fan translations, such as those at Muish , Doolset Bangtan and Do You Bangtan .

Here's a broad overview of the main eras in BTS' music career :

The School Trilogy (2013-2014)

BTS' debut era was centred around teenage feelings, from crushes to the frustration of being up against rigid and oppressive systems. The School Trilogy is made up of three EPs:

• 2 Cool 4 Skool , the release of which was connected with BTS' debut trailer , a music video for title track "No More Dream" , and a second music video for "We Are Bulletproof Pt. 2" .

• O!RUL8,2? , which was released with a trailer and a music video for title track "N.O" .

• Skool Luv Affair , which came with a trailer , a music video for title track "Boy In Luv" as well as one for "Just One Day" . This mini album was later repackaged as a Skool Luv Affair Special Addition with two extra songs.

Although not technically part of the School Trilogy, BTS' first full studio album, Dark and Wild , follows on from it and extends the themes of teenage rebellion and horniness. The trailer for Dark and Wild features RM's "Intro: What Am I To You" . It was followed by music videos for the title track "Danger" and then later "War of Hormone" .

In addition to their Korean music, BTS also releases Japanese versions of some tracks, as well as original Japanese songs. In this era, they dropped Japanese singles of "No More Dream" , "Boy In Luv" , and "Danger" . These were followed by their first Japanese album, Wake Up , which featured the singles and Japanese versions of other songs, as well as several new Japanese tracks.

The Youth Trilogy (2015-2016)

The Youth Trilogy is also known as Hwa Yang Yeon Hwa (HYYH) or The Most Beautiful Moment in Life series, and it explores the growing pains of young adulthood.

This era saw BTS play with a new look and a different sound, and introduce a fictional storyline – later dubbed the Bangtan Universe (BU) – told through their music videos and in notes in their albums. All videos that are part of the canon include "BU content" in their description on YouTube – and if you want to dive even deeper, you can get a compilation book of all the notes that expand on the story, plus read the associated webtoon .

The albums in this series are:

• The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Part 1 , a mini album. A trailer was released featuring Suga's "Intro: The Most Beautiful Moment In Life" , followed by two versions of the music video for title track "I Need You" . A music video was also released for "Dope" .

• The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Part 2 , another mini album. This was preceded by a short BU film called " 화양연화 On Stage: Prologue " and also a trailer featuring "Intro: Never Mind" , a song performed by the rapline. There was then a music video for title track "Run" .

• The Most Beautiful Moment in Life: Young Forever , which is a compilation album that includes some tracks from the Part 1 and Part 2 mini albums, in addition to three new tracks and several remixes. Music videos were released for title track "Fire" , as well as "Save Me" , and "Epilogue: Young Forever" .

This era also saw the release of the Japanese album Youth , with singles including the original song "For You" and Japanese versions of "I Need You" and "Run" .

The Wings Era (2016-2017)

Partly inspired by Demian: The Story of Emil Sinclair's Youth , a coming-of-age novel by Hermann Hesse, this era continues the BU storyline and deepens BTS' exploration of growing up, with a focus on losing your innocence and navigating temptation.

Wings is the first album of the era. It was preceded by the release of seven short films, each centred around a different member's solo song: "Begin" , "Lie" , "Stigma" , "First Love" , "Reflection" , "Mama" , and "Awake" . These were followed by a trailer featuring J-Hope's "Intro: Boy Meets Evil" and a music video for title track "Blood Sweat & Tears" .

The second album of this era is You Never Walk Alone , which is actually a repackage of Wings with the addition of three new songs. Two of these, "Spring Day" and "Not Today" , were released as singles with music videos.

These Korean releases were followed by a Japanese version of Blood Sweat & Tears .

The Love Yourself Series (2017-2018)

This era, as the name suggests, is all about loving yourself. It continues the BU plot, and began with the release of four short films called the Highlight Reels: "起" , "承" , "轉" , and "起承轉結" .

The series consists of three albums:

• Love Yourself 承 'Her' , a mini album. Its trailer is a music video for Jimin's solo "Serendipity" , which was followed by title track "DNA" and later "Mic Drop" .

• Love Yourself 轉 'Tear' , a studio album. Ahead of its release, a short film "Euphoria: Theme of Love Yourself 起 Wonder" featuring Jungkook's solo "Euphoria" was dropped, as well as a trailer/music video for V's "Singularity" . There was also a music video for title track "Fake Love" , which was followed by an extended version .

• Love Yourself 結 'Answer' , a compilation album featuring tracks from Her and Tear as well as several new songs and remixes. Its trailer was a music video for Jin's solo "Epiphany" , and its title track was "Idol" . A second version of "Idol" was later released featuring Nicki Minaj.

A Japanese album Face Yourself was also released in this era, featuring both original tracks and Japanese versions of some Love Yourself songs. Music videos were released for the Japanese versions of "Mic Drop" and "Airplane Pt 2" , the latter of which wasn't on Face Yourself but released afterward as a separate single.

The Map of the Soul Series (2019-2020)

This era takes inspiration from Carl Jung's psychological theories, as examined in Jung's Map Of The Soul by Dr Murray Stein. It uses Jung's ideas of the persona, shadow, and ego as a framework through which BTS explore their own lives and fame.

The series began with the mini album Map of the Soul: Persona . Its trailer is a music video for RM's solo "Intro: Persona" . Its title track is "Boy With Luv" , which features Halsey. A music video for a remixed version of "Make It Right" featuring Lauv was later released, and was followed by two more remixes of the song.

The next album in the series is Map of the Soul: 7 , a full studio album which carries over five songs from Persona and adds 14 new songs. There were a number of videos tied in with the release of 7 : two trailers which act as music videos for Suga's "Interlude: Shadow" and J-Hope's "Outro: Ego" ; an art film for "Black Swan" followed later by an official music video ; and a kinetic manifesto film for title track "On", which was also followed by an official music video .

Although not part of the Map of the Soul series, BTS also released a soundtrack for their mobile game BTS World during this time period, which featured four new songs and had an accompanying music video for "Heartbeat" .

BTS also released a Japanese single "Lights" in 2019, and the Japanese Album Map of the Soul: 7 ~The Journey~ in July 2020, which included several new songs, including the title track "Stay Gold" .

The Pandemic Era (2020-2022)

Like literally everyone else, BTS' plans were completely derailed by COVID-19. Instead of touring the world, they found themselves stuck at home, and so they turned to doing what they do best: creating music.

In August 2020, they released their very first all-English single, "Dynamite" , saying they wanted the song to give energy and joy to fans around the world going through a hard time. They also released several remixes of the track, and "Dynamite" earned BTS their first Billboard Hot 100 number one and a Grammy nomination.

In November 2020, BTS released a new album BE , which features "Dynamite" and six new songs, including title track "Life Goes On" , which also hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The album reflects their experiences during the pandemic, with a particular focus on mental health, their relationship to their work, and their yearning to see fans.

While all seven BTS members have always participated in creating their music to some degree, BE saw them take on a greater level of involvement than ever before. In addition to more input in the songwriting process, different members each took the lead on various aspects of the album creation, such as the concept photos, packaging, and music video. They documented some of this work in a series of livestreams in the lead up to the album release.

In 2021, BTS released two more English language singles, "Butter" (which came with several remixes, including one featuring Megan Thee Stallion ), and "Permission to Dance" . Both songs hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100, and "Butter" earned the group another Grammy nomination. 

BTS also collaborated with Coldplay on their song "My Universe" from their album Music of the Spheres . 

In June 2021, BTS released a Japanese compilation album called BTS, the Best , featuring some of their biggest Japanese hits as well as new single "Film Out" .

In June 2022, BTS released an anthology album called Proof ,  which featured three new songs, including the title track "Yet To Come" . Following the album release, they announced they'd be scaling back group activities to focus more on solo work for awhile. 

The Performances Of BTS

One of the most impressive things about BTS are their spectacular live performances. While it's definitely worth watching their full concerts if you want to really dive deep, there are a lot of performances from awards shows and other TV appearances that are a great entry point. Here are just some to start with:

• "Blood Sweat & Tears" on M Countdown .

• "Boy Meets Evil", "Blood Sweat & Tears" and "Fire" at the 2016 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMAs).

The Shows Of BTS

In addition to music and the content directly related to it, BTS keep very busy with a wide array of video projects.

There's a lot to explore, but their current shows are the best place to start. Variety show Run BTS is extremely entertaining and a fun way to get to know the individual members better. All episodes are available for free on VLive , with newer ones also released on Weverse . Bon Voyage , BTS' travel reality series, is also great if you are willing to pay for content. Seasons 1-3 are available on VLive , and Season 4 is on Weverse . In The Soop , which documents soothing pandemic-era escapes into the forest for the group, has two seasons available for purchase on Weverse .

BTS have released several docu-series following their lives on tour, which are all incredibly insightful. The first, Burn the Stage , focuses on their Wings tour and is available for purchase on YouTube , as is the accompanying Burn the Stage: the Movie . Their second series, Bring the Soul , follows their Love Yourself tour and is available on Weverse , as is a companion movie . Their third series, Break the Silence , which focuses on the end of the Love Yourself tour and the subsequent Love Yourself: Speak Yourself tour, can also be purchased on Weverse along with its movie version.

So, do you know BTS?

If you made it this far, congrats! You've just scratched the surface of BTS content and still have so much left to discover. Go forth and binge! There's no turning back.

How to Create A BTS/KPOP Powerpoint

Hello ARMYs!!

I am so excited to show you this today!  As some of you may know, I have started a KPOP club at my college recently and its been extremely successful so far!

Actually, today is the 3rd week and I'll be showing a Powerpoint on VIXX.  Last week I showed a Powerpoint on BTS and TEEN TOP.

So I was thinking that it would be cool if I showed you how I did my Powerpoints from my club!  And if you're wanting to show someone a group, instead of explaining, just make a Powerpoint that says it all!! SIMPLE!  And these Powerpoints ARE simple as pie!

SO HERE WE GO!!XD

❀••════ஓ๑♡๑ஓ════••❀

SLIDE 1: The Title Page

✧❀••════ஓ๑♡๑ஓ════•❀✧

The first slide of your Powerpoint should introduce the group.  make sure its a clear HD background photo so that when the photo enlarges to fit your Powerpoint it won't be pixelated.

Be sure to include:

-Group name

-Group logo

-Group fan base logo

-Company logo

Slide 2: Group Profile

✧ ❀••════ஓ๑♡๑ஓ════•❀ ✧

The second slide is the group profile.  This introduces the group as a whole and includes some features of the company.  This is also the only slide where you get to mention the fandom!  So don't neglect this page!!

-Fandom name

-Fandom colors

-Number of members in the group

-Social media platforms

Now, I didn't end up putting the individual platforms of other KPOP groups who had like their own Twitter or instagram, etc.. The purpose of our KPOP group and these Powerpoints is to introduce people to new artists. So if someone sees something they like then they'll dig deeper and find that person's account and follow them.  But of course, we hope fans will follow everyone and be supportive of the whole group regardless.

For the next few slides I will be showing you from scratch how I create my Powerpoints.  Not in total depth, but with pictures I'll show you the process.  If you have any questions, just leave me a comment in the comment box;  Let's get started:

Slide 3: Introducing Members (leader first)

When it comes to introducing the members, you always want to start with the leader.  In my opinion, I think its a show of respect.  And then you work your way down from oldest to youngest.  I also believe that to be true because of our fanchants:

Kim Namjoon! Kim Seokjin! Min Yoongi! Jung Hoseok! Park Jimin! Kim Taehyung! Jeon Jungkook! BTS!!

Its evident that the leader be acknowledged first and then its followed by the oldest as signs of respect.  The leader does A LOT for the group... which is also why I'm having Namjoon for this demonstration of my individual slides!!XD

Insert a slide

First, you start with either inserting a slide with PICTURE or CAPTION options.  Either way, you'll be deleting the CLICK ICON TO ADD PICTURE part because it distorts the photo and we don't want that.

Insert a background

For me, I looked up water color and pastel backgrounds.  I thought those would be the best to be a subtle and gentle color to blend with the photos I put up.  Also, I'm an artist, so I'm very picky about the way color correlates with a foreground and the background.

Choose a photo

Try to get a photo that has the utmost clarity.  I've actually had some trouble getting some of my favorite photos to be clear for some of the Powerpoints I did.  But I didn't really have a choice--I was stubborn and the content looked great!!

With choosing a photo, some random bar with pop up that says GENERATING IDEAS.

IGNORE IT!!!

Those are better for title pages on a different type of Powerpoint other than a KPOP one.  It likes to reorganize the photo in weird ways.  Instead, go to FORMAT and click the scroll down button.  It'll give you different options to shape your photo and even add a colorful boarder.  Soon, you'll come out with this:

I pray you can see my color coordination here.  Tropical RM.

Insert The Member's Stage Name

Of course we want to know their real names, but what's the first thing we hear when it comes to that member?  Their stage name.  When it comes to the profile you'll insert the rest of their bio.

I also went fancy-smansy and added a boarder around the letters in one color and filled it with another color.  You can do this by clicking on the word box twice and it's pop up in the FORMAT area.

Write In Missing Information

Showing this profile to someone who doesn't have any idea about someone is really goo. You can use this as a template to get it going if you want.  Now, I know they have blood types and horoscope signs out there, but to be honest... do we really care?  Especially if its someone new looking at this?  Not really.  But what I do know is that girls are always wanting their HEIGHT!! OF COURSE WE ARE!

Along with filling in missing information, I love to give 3 random fun facts about the member.  I LOVE 'EM!!

And once you've completed all the information, you'll be left with this:

-Stage name

-Birth name

-HEIGHT!!XD

-Birth town/city

-3 random facts

Slide 4 : Introducing The Members Oldest To Youngest✧

❀•════ஓ๑♡๑ஓ════•❀

As I mentioned with RM, as the leader he needs to be placed first.  But of course, right after is the Korean rule of respect.  So we'll be making the rest of the slides in order from oldest to youngest.

I also try to get the color of their hair or their favorite color to match their tastes. Hence this beautiful pink man.XD

Slide 5: Descending Order By age

Slide 6: Descending Order By age

Slide 7: Descending Order By age

Slide 8: Descending Order By age

Slide 9: Descending Order By age

Ok, so when it comes to the last profile slide, I always say its the Maknae in the slide. I feel like its a good idea to see who's the youngest compared to all the older members.  Alos, if you say that the person is the youngest, everyone will think:

Oh!  So it was going in oldest to youngest order! (unless you tell them like I did.XD )

Now that  you've finally taught everyone about the members, you need to be able to show them what this group can actually do.  For our Powerpoints, we have 5 music videos.  And if you wish it, you can have 1 or 2 dance practices.  Though I'd recommend a funny dance practice so people can see just how weird this bunch of boys are.

Here are the 5 videos I used:

We also start with the newest music video because it shows what they look and sound like of their current age.

SPRING DAY M/V

We also try to add in a slower song.  This gives the listener a chance to hear how they sound as a ballad or harmonizing whole. Trust me, you need a slow song in there.  The song that got me into BTS was House of Cards.  I was hoping there were more songs like it and to my surprise... there were!

MIC DROP (STEVE AOKI REMIX)

The 3rd music video can be your pick!  I don't know about you, but MIC DROP has a huge place in my heart.  The remix and the original.

BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS DANCE PRACTICE

Now, I used 2 dance practices instead of M/V's for BTS, because.... I mean, this GIF says it all.  You can pick the video before this, but to keep a good line of genres, choose a sexy song/ dance next.  It gives good variety to see that the group can tackle many different concepts.This 'll probably also help someone find their bias<3

WAR OF HORMONE DANCE PRACTICE

This is probably the one video that SHOULD be included into a Powerpoint no matter what.  This shows their cute and quirky sides. You don't get to see that in M/Vs.  I mean, when I showed this in my club everyone was CRACKING UP!!

Thank you for reading this freakishly long blog!  I hope this helps you in the future!

LUV U ARMYs!! I PURPLE U!! BYEEEE!!<3
