Happy 13th Anniversary to #BTS, the history making, top-selling Biggest Boy Band of All time! 💪🥳🎂1⃣3⃣🎉🐐👑👑👑👑👑👑👑💜
13 years ago, BTS arrived and ignited a revolution! Today they stand as the undisputed global icons and the most influential musical act of their Era, having shattered records, bridged cultures, and built a movement (ARMY) that spans continents and generations! They are the Best-selling most successful Asian Act of All Time, earning the IFPI Global Recording Artist of the Year titles in 2020 & 2021, and hold the record as the most-streamed group on Spotify of All time with over 51,88 Billion plays!

BTS were the 1st Asian Group to lead the Korean Wave in the US, and pioneered the Global K-Pop explosion, topping charts all over the world, setting new All-Time Records and paving the way! BTS conquered the Billboard charts, like few before them! They were the 1st K-Pop Act to top both the Billboard Hot 100 & Global 200 with their Grammy nominated hit "Dynamite", the fastest group since the Beatles to score 6 Hot 100 No. 1 singles and the 1st group since the Beatles to chart 4 No. 1 Albums on the Billboard 200 in less than two years, with Love Yourself: Answer (2018) becoming the first K-Pop Album certified Platinum by the RIAA! BTS have had 7 No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200, including the historic ARIRANG (2026), which debuted with massive 641,000 equivalent units and 532,000 pure sales, scoring the Biggest Album Debut of 2026, the Biggest US Debut for an Asian Album in Nielsen history and the biggest week for any group in over a decade, and spent multiple 3 weeks at No. 1 with BTS becoming the 1st Asian Act to achieve this! BTS is the 1st Group in history to debut atop the Hot 100 and Billboard 200 simultaneously, multiple times (Life Goes On & BE + SWIM & ARIRANG)! BTS is the K-Pop Act with the most Hot 100 #1 hits in history (7) and the Group with the Most #1 Debuts (6) in Hot 100 history and the Most Hot 100 hits this Decade (7), the Group with the Most weeks atop the Hot 100 this Decade (18), the Group with the most Digital Song Sales No. 1s (13) in history and is the #1 Act with the Most World Digital Song Sales No. 1s in history (43)! BTS is the 1ST & ONLY Act in history to occupy the whole Top 10 of the Billboard Global Excl. US and the whole Top 9 of the Billboard Global 200 simultaneously'! "ARIRANG" is the 1ST and ONLY album in history to chart all of its tracks on the Billboard Global Excl. US chart for 11 consecutive weeks! BTS is also the 1ST & ONLY Act in history to score 6 Billboard ALL KILLS (BAKs), reaching #1 on the Hot 100, the Global 200 & the Global Excl. US simultaneously for the 6th time!

BTS' tours redefined K-pop’s global reach, breaking cultural and language barriers with sold-out stadiums and record-breaking grosses. Their 2018–2019 Love Yourself tour alone outperformed many Western acts like the Rolling Stones and Taylor Swift in specific venues! They are the 1st non-English-speaking and Asian act to sell out Wembley Stadium and the Rose Bowl with their Love Yourself World Tour, 2019 and have delivered history-making performances at the UN and Grammys, using their platform for messages of self-love, mental health and unity. Their 2026 ARIRANG era and post-military reunion brought cultural pride home with Korean-rooted sound while conquering the whole world again with record-breaking sold-out concerts, massive premieres, and anniversary celebrations in Busan. ARIRANG’s comeback live event this year attracted 104,000 attendees in Seoul, marking the largest public concert in Korea with 18.4 million Netflix live viewers, becoming the biggest live event by a music act in the history of Netflix! The BTS ARIRANG 2026–2027 World Stadium Tour shattered records with rapid sell-outs across 80+ shows with North America & Europe legs selling out in hours. BTS sold 2.4M tickets, with the fastest 4-night sell-out at the Allegiant Stadium ever (23 minutes), with 1 billion website accesses in one day, and early grosses of $124M from 660k tickets, topping Billboard Box office charts. It’s BTS's highest-grossing tour yet and a new benchmark for global stadium runs!

BTS has dominated virtually every major award show winning 559 awards out of 791 nominations and over 70 Daesangs, making them the undisputed record holders for the most Daesangs in S. Korean music awards history! They are the 1st Asian Act to win the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry's (IFPI) Global Recording Artist of the Year in 2020 and repeated the feat for 2021, becoming the third artist, after Drake and Taylor Swift to win the award twice, and the first to do so in consecutive years! BTS have won 14 American Music Awards, and were the 1st Asian act in the show's history to win Artist of the Year in 2021 and the 1st to win it twice! BTS has scored 12 Billboard Award wins out of 17 nominations, making them the most-awarded group in BBMA history! They were the first K-Pop act to receive a Grammy Award nomination, and the first K-Pop artist to be nominated for a Brit Award! BTS is also the most-awarded foreign artist in the history of the Japan Gold Disc Awards with 30 awards overall, including a record 4 consecutive wins for Artist of the Year (Asia)! They have also scored a record-breaking 52 wins at the MAMA Awards! BTS has appeared on Time's lists of the 25 most influential people on the internet (2017–2019) and the 100 most influential people in the world (2019), and in 2018 became the youngest recipients of the South Korean Order of Cultural Merit for their contributions in spreading the Korean culture and language.

BTS has been widely praised for their extensive charity work and has donated millions individually and as a group, including $1 million to Black Lives Matter (2020), major hospital funds in Korea and disaster relief! In March 2025 individual members donated 1.5 Billion KRW during the devastating wildfires in South Korea with RM, j-hope & Suga donating 100M KRW, V donating 200M and Jungkook making one of the largest individual contributions (1B KRW) of All Time! In June 2025, Suga donated 5 billion KRW (~$3.6 million), the largest single donation ever by a K-pop artist in history, to Severance Hospital to create the Min Yoongi Treatment Center for children and adolescents with autism including music therapy. Through BTS' Love Myself campaign with UNICEF since 2017, the group and ARMY have raised over US $6.6 million to combat violence against children and support youth mental health. These efforts earned them a UNICEF Inspire Award and South Korea’s Presidential Commendation!

From underground trainees to global superstars and K-Pop Legends, who redefined what’s possible for non-English artists, BTS turned “impossible” into their signature. They’ve proven music transcends language, borders, and expectations, spreading hope, joy, and empowerment to millions!

@Lami7700 My friend made me an OT7 bar there in 2019. I also went to the M&M store nearby & got BTS, ARMY, & hearts on purple M&Ms. IDK if that's still an option though.

[kuroiookami⁷ @tekcomics]

@b1kswan Congrats!!💜

[kuroiookami⁷ @tekcomics]

@RollingStoneUK I grew up listening to the Beatles, the Jacksons, New Edition, Boyz II Men, & more.

My answer is BTS! 💜💜💜

As BTS is about to kickstart their world tour…

I pray with all my heart that all seven members are protected, healthy, safe, and happy throughout every single show of this tour.

That God watches over them; body, mind, and spirit, as they pour their hearts out on stage night after night across the world.

I pray for safe travels for BTS, their crew, their staff, and everyone working behind the scenes to make this tour possible. May every flight, every journey, every late night on the road be covered in protection and peace.

And for every ARMY traveling near and far to see them; whether crossing cities or crossing oceans; may you arrive safely, experience something beautiful, and return home with full hearts.

May this entire Arirang era be filled with joy, and may everyone who is part of it; on stage and in the crowd; be kept safe in God’s hands.

Pray with me! 💜✨

@evalovebts_1306 @SOPEKOSMOS Jimin & Kai were in a "squad" with Taemin and a few other idols. Chanyeol appeared captivated by Jimin while talking to him after Jimin & Taemin performed together. There aren't many interactions that I can recall but there were some.
