BTS breaks world record of Blackpink

The world record for most Youtube views within 24 hours was held by Blackpink with 56.7 million views, which Ariana Grandes called “Thank u next”.

BTS profile – age, real name and incorporation

K-Pop stands for Korean Popular Music, the band was, as usual in Korea, cast together by a management company. It consists of:

  • Jin (Kim Seokjin, 26)
  • Suga (Min Yoongi, 26)
  • J-Hope (Jung Hoseok, 25)
  • Rap Monster (Kim Namjoon, 24)
  • Jimin (Park Jimin, 23)
  • V (Kim Taehyung, 23)
  • Jungkook (Jeon Jungkook, 21)

So BTS was founded

The first members were recruited in 2010-2011. Until the squad 2012 some original members were replaced by new ones. Six months before the Boy Band was really founded, the guys started to interact with their fans. Before BTS RM and Suga worked as underground rappers. Jin studied at Konkuk University. J-Hope took part in various dance competitions as a member of a street dance team. Jimin studied Modern Dance at Busan High School of Arts, which he later left to move to Arts Korea High School, where he met V. After leaving the talent show Superstar K, Jungkook received offers from seven agencies. In the end he went to Big Hit Entertainment because he was enthusiastic about RM’s rap.

The debut of BTS

They celebrated their big debut in 2013 with the single “2 Cool 4 Skool” and also won the “Best Newcomer Award”, the “Golden Disk Award” and the “Seoul Music Award”. One year later they continued their success, the next singles “We are Bulletproof PT II”, “N.O.” and “O!RUL8,2” (Oh! Are You Late, Too?) also celebrate international success.

BTS x Billie Eilish – collaboration

In an interview, BTS revealed who they would like to work with in the future. After already producing songs with Ed Sheeran and Halsey for their current album, they will probably work together with Billie Eilish in the future. The interest in a common single with the US-American singer and songwriter is great. What the song will finally be called and when it will be released remains to be seen – we can hardly wait.
