Now, onto the music. BTS has always and continues to offer progressive messages to the youth of Korea, and the world. They speak about social issues, criticisms of society, and even have made commentary towards Korean government. This is not only a bold move, but it a precarious one, as not very many artists go that direction. Still, as their fame built, they still offered messages of non-conformity and the pursuit of dreams to their fans, never giving into the pressure to change their ideals. They also offer a positive perspective on idols, particularly the rappers of the group, Namjoon and Yoongi. Self-consciousness and accusations of selling out came to them, and even affected them, but they proved with their skills in writing, composing, producing, and most of all, straight fire rapping, that "idol" does not equal compromising one's art. This is also why their music has sometimes been censored, either due to language, subject matter, or references, but they never give in and take away from their messages.

This is what makes Bangtan so special. They are a family of talented brothers, and their music is a reflection of their love for what they do and the guidance and encouragement they want to offer to the youth.

'WINGS' is their most unique and risky album yet, as it offers seven solo tracks, all in different styles, and all telling personal stories from or about each member. Not just that, they offer songs tackling mental health, insecurities, female empowerment to all ages, and criticisms towards the state of the world currently. It also includes the infamous Cypher series, the 4th part to the incredible popular unique rap slayage that only BTS can offer. There is the first fan song written for ARMY, but unlike a lot of fan songs, this one is inspired by the hate that they and their fans receive, and how we all stuck through and how it's time to cast aside the sadness and be happy. BTS as a group or the performances by each member, shows in 'WINGS' just how talented they are together and in their own ways.

The single for 'WINGS', 'Blood, Sweat, Tears" offers a provocative sound in the vocals, as well as the lyrics, speaking of temptations. The sound has a varied composition, with nodes to worldy influences such a reggaeton. The video compliments the song perfectly, with the imagery pushing boundaries for Korean Pop.

'Blood, Sweat, Tears' appears to be the hit of the year! Check it out on the Youtube channel, ibighit, being the most viewed Korean music video in 24 hours, hitting 6 million.

While, of course, the music quality is the most important aspect, because awards are only as valuable as the music itself, let us not forget the accolades awarded to 'WINGS' so far, because they truly were deserving of them:

1. BTS now has the most consecutive albums on the Billboard chart, with three.

2. Not only that, they charted at number 26, the highest for a Korean album.

3. The first album by a Korean artist to spend two weeks on the Billboard charts.

4. Sold 500,000 copies just in pre-orders, and just in one week.

5. Debut at number one on the Gaon charts, along with the lead single, all 15 singles charted along with them.

6. The many awards, accolades, and records broken by BTS are too far and wide too count...truly they have made an impact for the promotion of Korean music worldwide.
