Every year in Asia, more and more worthy musical groups of various genres appear. In our country, South Korean art is quite popular. There there are a lot of groups playing quite non-standard and high-quality music.
In contrast to the monotonous European groups, representatives of South Korea are trying to create their own unique style, which in the end they are doing great. They are equally good both in pop music and in rock. However, there is one absolutely remarkable group among them, which managed to break down all stereotypes and become a collective that can play music in the hip-hop genre on a par with its Western counterparts.
This talented group BTS is called. Her biography is incredibly interesting. Next, we will dwell on several particularly important stages of her work, as well as describe in detail about each of its participants.
So again, BTS is a Korean band. The names of the participants of the current composition are as follows:
- Rap Monster - leader, rapper;
- Chin - the face of the collective, vocalist;
- Syuga - composer, rapper;
- J-Hope - main dancer, rapper;
- Jimin - dancer, vocalist;
- Vi is a vocalist;
- Jungkook - vocalist, dancer, sub-rapper.
Start
The team was formed back in 2011, when the selection of talented young performers was going on all over the country. The first two participants of BTS were taken during one of the auditions at the largest Korean studio.
Many future performers at that time only recently turned eighteen years old, but thanks to perseverance and talent, they easily managed to get to the very top in a matter of months and prove to the labels that they were really talented.
The composition of the BTS group began to form closer to 2012, when a well-known in narrow circles underground artist, nicknamed Rap Monster, became its leader. By that time, he already had serious experience in performing, as well as several tracks released. Overnight, he became the brightest member of the group, and was also highlighted.
Moreover, as a leader, he began to write most of the texts for the group, as well as organize the show. Despite the fact that he is far from being the oldest BTS performer, the Rap Monster is by far the most vivid personality and fan favorite. He is the idol of millions of listeners from all over the world, inspiring each of them to various accomplishments and self-improvement.
So with full confidence we can say that the composition of the BTS group would not be so bright without the named member. Next, J-Hope, the group's main dancer, joined the cast. He had incredible talent, and Korean studios quickly noticed. Before joining the BTS group, he performed in a street dance gang and achieved considerable success with it.
J-Hope very quickly found a common language with the rest of the group and became one of the key figures. One of the most important factors of why he was taken to the team was his long-standing acquaintance with the rap monster, with whom he had already managed to make several appearances. Between them was a real friendship, the guys supported in difficult times, and on the stage perfectly complemented each other. So no one doubted that it was J-Hope who needed to be included in the BTS group.
Music
Suga is another talented person. This young performer has long declared himself to be a cool arranger. He had not only an excellent voice, but also an excellent
musical ear, which, you see, is important. He easily created catchy beats, without which it is impossible to compose truly hit hip-hop songs.
He quickly made friends with the two leaders of BTS - J-Hope and Rap Monster, becoming an integral part of a friendly party. It's already hard to imagine BTS without this amazing musician. In many ways, it was to him that the group owed its sudden success. From the moment he arrived, he wrote music for almost all BTS songs, so he can rightfully be considered one of the most important links in the group.
Jungkook is the youngest member of the group. He was the last to enter the BTS, but despite his age, he quickly attracted the attention of the public. He was not only good at the microphone, but also knew how to dance perfectly, like J-Hope.
Success
Bright personalities could not make the famous BTS. The Korean group, the biography of each member of which is now inextricably linked with the stage, was able to achieve success only by turning into a friendly team. Now this is one of the best boy bands of our time. Success was guaranteed to him from the very beginning, because the guys had everything they needed to create a popular team - talent, perseverance and a memorable image.
BTS - Korean group: composition and its change
Later, other musicians joined the band. And when the lineup was finally formed, it was time for a full debut. But, unfortunately, they were not able to do this right away. As in many other young groups, disagreements began, as a result of which two members left BTS.
Of the nine musicians, only seven remained, but this did not prevent them from continuing their activities. After two years of preparation, they gained serious experience and were ready to prove themselves in public. It happened in 2013. It should be noted that this year was very successful for the group. In addition to live performances, they managed to release their debut single, which quickly entered the country's top charts and was highly praised by both music lovers and professional critics. The disc is called 2 Cool 4 Skool and contained seven excellent tracks. The most successful song in the album is rightfully considered a song called No more dream.
In June of the same year, a music video was shot on it, which did not leave TV screens for a long time, regularly broadcast on numerous Korean music channels. By that time, BTS had finally secured the title of the best young group in the country.
For the BTS group (photos of participants with names you can see in the article), the first major success was the performance at the popular M festival! Countdown, where the group performed the above hit No more dream, which to this day is considered one of the main works of the group.
Later, in the wake of success, a video was also shot for a song called We Are Bulletproof Pt. 2. All this ultimately led to the fact that the group was recognized as the best young performers of the country and received a lot of prestigious awards.
Combination of cultures
Unlike many other Asian bands, BTS prefer to perform their music in English. Each of the band's musicians is fluent in it, so during listening you will not hear a hint of accent. But, in addition to this, the guys skillfully mix English and Korean in their texts, which in the end gives them an original and unusual sound.
Tour
With the advent of 2014, the success of the group only increased. BTS released another mini-album, sales of which exceeded all expectations. In just a year, the band members became stars who were invited to perform at the country's largest music arenas.
It is time to embark on your first truly major tour. It was a world-class show, and the army of fans grew every day.
There are more and more fans
Having achieved recognition in their homeland, the guys decided to try their hand abroad. And for good reason, because in Europe, a sharp increase in their popularity became noticeable, which was greatly facilitated by the talentedly selected group composition. BTS, from whose photos seven attractive guys are watching, has got a large number of fans in various parts of the world, including Russia.
Conclusion
Nowadays, the group is still popular and is clearly not going to slow down. New songs are included in a variety of tops, and a recent hit called Fire did fall into the top twenty most popular in the history of iTunes. A clip for this song in two days managed to collect 4 million views on the Internet. So, for all lovers of good music, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the work of BTS. You will definitely not be disappointed.
It is curious that the name of the group translated into Russian means “bulletproof”, and, obviously, this is absolutely true.
