Today we’ll talk about the BTS project. The composition of the group and the features of creativity will be discussed later.
Currently in Asia there is an increasing number of worthy musicians. They create in many different genres. In our country, South Korean art is quite popular. It unites a lot of groups that play high-quality and rather non-standard music. If you agree that the European teams have some uniformity, it should be said that the representatives of South Korea, by contrast, are trying to embody a unique style. Often they succeed. They are good both in rock and in pop music. Special mention deserves the BTS project.
The biography of this collective proves that Korean musicians can play hip-hop along with representatives of Western countries. In addition, these musicians managed to dispel many myths. Next, we will consider the particularly important stages of the work of this team, as well as talk about its members.
Start
We begin a detailed conversation about BTS. The composition of the group has changed over time. Today, the team includes several people, each of whom has his own role. The leader of the group calls himself a rap monster. The composer is Shuga. The face of the team is Chin. The main dancer is J-Hope. Jimin has established himself as a vocalist. The place of the sub-rapper took Jungkook. Wee is a vocalist. These are the people who are part of the BTS.
The composition of the group was formed in 2011. Then the selection of young performers took place throughout the country. The first group of participants was accepted into the team while listening to the largest studio in Korea. Many performers were not yet 18. At the same time, thanks to perseverance and talent, young people easily managed to express themselves and show themselves on major labels.
The leader of the team was the Rap Monster - an underground performer. By that time, he already had the experience of performances and several released compositions. He was immediately recognized as the most striking of the members of the group. As a leader, this man took up the organization of the show and set about writing most of the compositions. Rap Monster is a fan favorite, but not the oldest member of the band. This musician has fans in different parts of the world.
Then J-Hope joined the group. He became the main dancer. His incredible talent was quickly seen by Korean studios. Before joining BTS, he participated in a street dance group, with which he achieved considerable success. J-Hope quickly reached an understanding with the rest of the team. It can be attributed to the key figures of the project. A long acquaintance with the leader of the group Rap Monster contributed to the fact that he was accepted into the team. These musicians performed together several times before the formation of the group. They have been friends for a long time.
Music
We continue to talk about the participants of BTS. Suga's biography will be briefly reviewed below. This artist has long established himself as a professional arranger. He has an excellent ear for music and a great voice. He created catchy beats, it was they who helped the Bangtan Boys record truly vibrant hip-hop songs. The musician quickly became friends with the Rap Monster and J-Hope. Largely thanks to this member, the group achieved such a massive and sudden success. This man wrote music for almost all of the band’s compositions.
The youngest member of the group is Jungkook. He was the last to join the main team. Despite his youth, this man immediately attracted the attention of fans. He proved himself to be a great singer and a good dancer.
Success
As a result, success came to BTS. The composition of the group is one of the main factors that contributed to this take-off. The project turned into a friendly team of like-minded people. Bangtan Boys today are often ranked among the best boy bands. For success, these guys have a memorable image, perseverance and talent.
Composition and changes in it

After 2 years of preparation, the musicians gained experience, and it was time to show their talents in public. This happened for the first time in 2013. This year was very successful for the team.

Combination of cultures
BTS prefer to do English. At the dawn of their career paths, musicians, with the exception of the Rap Monster, did not know him very well, with time they honed their skills - now each of the band's members speaks this language perfectly. Interestingly, there wasn’t even a hint of accent in the BTS songs either in the past or in the present. In addition, the guys skillfully mix Korean and English in texts. Thanks to this approach, they achieved an original and unusual sound.
