Bangtan Sonyeondan (방탄소년단; translating to Bulletproof Boy Scouts) or BTS, made their debut in 2013 with the intention to “block out stereotypes, criticisms, and expectations that aim on adolescents like bullets”. Seven years later, with a large, dedicated fanbase of varying ages, ethnicities, gender identities, etc. BTS has certainly delivered on that goal and continue to do so.
