While BTS is already recognized as a huge force in the K-pop world and the rest of the music industry, here's some fascinating info on the group – you know, in case you aren't super up-to-speed on the craze:

BTS has a special meaning.

When the group of seven first started off in 2013, the the letters B.T.S. – also known as the Bangtan Boys — signified the Korean expression "Bangtan Sonyeondan," which loosely translates in English to "Bulletproof Boyscouts," according to ET.

In mid-2017 though, the singers announced that the B.T.S. acronym would also mean "Beyond the Scene." Reports indicate that the decision came after considering their worldwide success and appeal. According to BigHit Entertainment via Soompi, the change in their identity is meant to represent "youth who don’t settle for their current reality and instead open the door and go forwards to achieve growth."

Nevertheless, fans of BTS are still called A.R.M.Y. members, an acronym that means "Adorable Representative MC for Youth."

They're next-level popular.

Remember the days when and ruled the music scene? Yeah, they're on that level ... and might actually be even more of a big deal. In 2017, BTS were the most tweeted-about musicians in both the U.S. and the world, which also landed them a spot on Time's most influential people on the internet.

But the recognition goes well beyond obsessed fans online. So far, BTS has received six Soompi awards (setting a new record) two Billboard Music awards, three iHeartRadio Music awards, and several MTV, MNet Asia Music awards, Golden Disc awards, Seoul Music awards, Melon Music awards, and Nickelodeon Kid's Choice awards ... and that's only the beginning. Phew!

The BTS members come from different backgrounds.

Band members Kim Seok-jin (Jin), Kim Nam-joon (RM), Min Yoon-gi (Suga), Jung Ho-seok (J-Hope), Park Ji-min (Jimin), Kim Tae-hyung (V), and Jeon Jeon-guk (Jungkook) all have fascinating stories.

Jin, the oldest member of the group at 25, was actually at school studying to be an actor when he was discovered by BigHit Entertainment, according to Billboard. The outlet reveals that he's the "king of dad jokes" in the group and also the resident foodie out of the seven.

Meanwhile, the "leader" of the pack, Kim Nam-joon, 24, was discovered at just 16 years old. At the time, he was approached by the CEO of BigHit Media while working as an underground rapper. From there, RM was tapped to join forces with Min Yoon-gi, 25, and Jung Ho-seok, 24, who was a known dancer in his hometown at the time, Time reports.

Together the three formed a group, and by the time of their debut in June 2013, the three had expanded to seven.

Their music often includes commentary on South Korean society.

Like many artists do, BTS often addresses frustrations, emotions, and hot-button issues through their lyrics, which is evident in songs like "No More Dream," "N.O.," and "Silver Spoon." In their early work, entertainment outlets note that BTS brings to light the hardships that come with South Korean society's intense emphasis on kids' education and their "impossibly high standards." Therefore, their music calls for a need to change modern youth culture.

Their album , which dropped in May 2018, covers deeply personal issues too. The songs tap into the much darker side of falling in love – a far cry from many of today's catchy pop tunes.



"Love is a complex and there are sides that really make us feel bad or depressed," Kim Nam-joon explained to J-14. "There could be tears, there could be sadness. This time we want to focus on some of the parts of love that we want to run away from.”



A ton of American celebs are part of the A.R.M.Y.

We're talking big names, like Camilla Cabello, Ansel Elgort, Halsey, Shawn Mendes, and, yes, even John Cena.

"When I became aware of the BTS phenomenon, it hit me by storm. I listened to their music. I enjoy their music," John gushed to ET.

John definitely isn't alone in his obsession.
