13 years ago today, BTS made their historic and iconic debut.
From debuting under a small company with almost nothing but a dream, to becoming one of the biggest, most influential, and inspiring acts in the world, BTS have spent the last 13 years breaking countless records, selling out stadiums, dominating charts, and continuously making history while paving the way to expand Korean music and culture on a global scale.
But beyond all the success, what truly made them stand out was their honesty. Through their music, they spoke about struggles, youth, mental health, loneliness, self-love, and growing up in ways that made millions feel seen and understood.
They’ve used their platform for good, giving back through meaningful campaigns and donations, while remaining humble through every peak of their journey. Their bond with each other, and with ARMYs, has always felt like family.
Their legacy was never built on numbers alone, but on talent, hard work, sincerity, and the genuine connection they created with millions of fans around the world who grew with them every step of the way.
And ever since that very first day, they’ve never stopped making HIStory.
#BTS made their debut 13 years ago today.
They are the best selling Korean act in US history and the first all-Korean act to reach #1 on the Hot 100 and Billboard 200.
