Debuting in 2013 under HYBE (Big Hit Entertainment), this 7-member Seoul group became the first K-pop act to top the Billboard Hot 100, achieving it three consecutive times with Dynamite, Butter, and My Universe. Their album Map of the Soul: 7 sold over 4.37 million copies in South Korea alone, and their 2019 Love Yourself world tour grossed $196 million, making it the highest-grossing concert tour by a Korean act. BTS holds the record for the most YouTube views in 24 hours multiple times and became UN Sustainable Development Goals ambassadors.
