K-Pop sensation BTS bagged two trophies at the 2018 Teen Choice Awards last night, days after the Bangtan Boys dropped the trailer to their comeback track Epiphany which sees Jin go solo in the heart-wrenching ballad.

Picking up the gongs for International Artist and Choice Fandom, BTS have enjoyed much success after becoming the first-ever group from South Korea to top the Billboard 200, which they did with Love Yourself: Tear.

K-pop band BTS will soon perform at Citi Field in New York City on Saturday, October 6, 2018

In addition to their net profit for 2017, surging over 170 percent year-over-year after record music sales, the band’s label Big Hit Entertainment have also cashed in from endorsement and collaborations, the most recent being with Converse who will reimagine the iconic Chuck Taylors.

BTS Teen Choice Awards 2018

BTS won the Choice International Artist and Fandom award at the Teen Choice Awards 2018, beating nominees BLACKPINK, EXO, GOT7, Super Junior and CNCO.

The Fandom award is won by fan votes and after trending repeatedly over the years, the win came as no surprise. The Bangtan Boys also won the Teen Choice Award for Choice International Artist in 2017.

Epiphany

Speaking of BTS’s virality, the group dropped their comeback single Epiphany’s music video on Friday, August 10 and fans took to social media to discuss how different this project was to previous brightly-coloured videos, as reported on Metro.

Jin is seen in the artistic video that switches from colour to black and white throughout, sitting in an apartment closing the curtains and looking at himself in the mirror. He is then caught in rain and fans were happy to see a number of close-ups of his face.

The music video ends with Jin, RM, J-Hope, Suga, V, Jimin and Jungkook presented on a beach beside a car and the lyrics also express the theme of recent BTS songs and album: loving yourself.

Jin is heard singing: ‘I’m the one I should love in this world/Shining me, the precious soul of mine/I finally realise so I love me/Not so perfect but so beautiful/I’m the one I should love.’

After the trailer for Epiphany was dropped, it trended on Twitter and featured on YouTube’s trending chart. In addition to this, less than 24 hours after its release, it had been viewed 10.6 million times ahead of the group’s new album Love Yourself: Answer.

BTS album

Known as a record-breaking band, the new BTS album has already surpassed Love Yourself: Tear in album pre-orders in South Korea, despite its release date being on August 24, 2018. As reported by Forbes, it has gained over 1.5 million orders by July 24, days after preorders being available.

Surpassing Tear by 62,000 copies, the new LP will be repackaged, meaning that it will include tracks from both Her and Tear, in addition to seven new songs, to complete the Love Yourself trilogy.

BTS net worth

BTS have a combined net worth of over $45 million (£35m) and the group’s main source of income is their four studio albums, according to Celebs Net Worth Today.

They have also cashed in after appearing on television as brand ambassadors, but are known to be involved in philanthropy.

Forbes reported that 2017 was a big year for BTS and saw the group break records and take home a multitude of awards, with Big Hit Entertainment revealing that its net profit for the years surged over 170 percent year-on-year.

According to the label’s audit report, net profit rose 172.7 percent from 2016 and reached around $22.9 million (£18m).

This was the highest it had ever been since the company that been founded in 2005 and Big Hit reported its net worth as $57 million (£45m), telling a very different story to when the company had been nearly bankrupt in 2007.
