K-pop superstars BTS released their new album “Map of the Soul: 7” Friday, breaking records even before it came out as the country’s most pre-ordered album ever and its lead single making its debut on video app TikTok.

BTS — or Bangtan Sonyeondan, which translates as Bulletproof Boy Scouts — have gained a huge global following, becoming the first K-pop group to top charts in the US and Britain with a string of sold-out shows in Los Angeles, Paris and London’s Wembley Stadium.

Their latest effort was given a simultaneous worldwide release online at 6 pm South Korean time (0900 GMT).

Just 30 minutes later, the video for its lead single “ON” — a song about the artists’ aspirations and sense of purpose — had been viewed by nearly half a million fans on YouTube, with more than 134,000 comments.

“We’ve voluntarily entered this beautiful prison,” the song’s lyrics read. “Even when we fall, we rise again, as we always have.”

The hashtag #BTSComeback2020 trended following the release, as well as #WeONWithBTS, with fans posting videos of themselves in tears after listening to the album.

“Can we just appreciate how perfect the choreography, those moves, those voice, and those faces? I’m speechless,” one fan posted on Twitter.

Another wrote: “I’ve been crying listening to the songs without knowing the meanings of the lyrics… how am I gonna cope when lyric translations come out?”
