BTS (Korean: 방탄소년단, also known as Bangtan Boys or Beyond The Scene) is a South Korean boyband formed in 2013 by Big Hit Entertainment. The group consists of seven members: RM (group leader), Chin, Shugi, J-Hope, Chimin, Vi, and Jong-uk. In July 2017, the group changed their official logo and transcribed their name in English, making them Beyond The Scene. BTS have a huge social media influence, which has allowed them to win the Best Social Media Artist category twice at the Billboard Music Awards in 2017 and 2018; not only were they the first Korean artists to win at this ceremony, they were also the first to win twice in a row. BTS also became the first Korean group to win the Favorite Social Media Artist category at the 2018 American Music Awards. Since their debut, BTS has sold more than 5 million of their records worldwide. In April 2020, BTS became the best-selling artist in South Korean history. In October 2018, the group received the Fifth Class Order of Cultural Merit from the South Korean government for its contribution to spreading Korean culture around the world.
