•BTS, formed by Big Hit Entertainment (now HYBE Corporation), debuted on June 13, 2013, with seven members: RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook.
•Members were selected through auditions and rigorous training; RM, Suga, and J-Hope were the first, followed by Jin, Jung Kook, V, and Jimin.

•BTS stands for 'Bangtan Sonyeondan' ('Bulletproof Boy Scouts'), symbolizing their aim to block stereotypes and criticisms, and later also for 'Beyond the Scene', representing growth.
•The group recently made a comeback with their fifth studio album ARIRANG, featuring the English title track 'SWIM', after four years of solo projects and military service.
