BTS had a difficult journey to become the successful boy band they are today. After debuting in 2013 with little success, they struggled financially and with their music. Their breakthrough came in 2015 with a hit single in South Korea. In 2017, they made history by winning an award at the Billboard Music Awards, beating out major Western artists. Since then, they have broken many sales records and collaborated with famous Western musicians. BTS has now become a global phenomenon while still singing primarily in Korean. They have also taken on roles as Presidential Envoys promoting important issues. From humble beginnings to international superstars, BTS proves that hard work and perseverance can lead to great success.
