[talk] BTS, From Boys to Masters: A Musical Journey

Since their debut, BTS has left a strong impression with their "School Trilogy," featuring hip-hop-based music that embodies the concerns of teenagers and critical messages about society. They established their identity not as idols simply focused on performance, but as a "group with a message," honestly incorporating their stories into their music. During this period, they connected with the public on topics that resonated with the younger generation, such as school violence and social injustice.

Since the "Hwayangyeonhwa" series, their musical spectrum has expanded explosively. Expressing the beauty and anxiety of youth with a delicate sensibility, they have explored diverse genres beyond hip-hop, including pop and R&B. As the members' increased involvement in songwriting and composition has led to a greater musical depth, and their lyrical melodies, along with the stories of youth experiencing growing pains, have fostered a deeper sense of empathy.

This growth culminated with the "LOVE YOURSELF" series. The powerful message of "love yourself" provided comfort and inspiration to countless people around the world. From this point on, they went beyond simply conveying their message, maximizing the artistry and perfection of their music itself. Collaborating with diverse artists, experimenting with genres, and establishing their own distinct musical style, BTS truly became a global artist. BTS is living proof that they are constantly evolving and expanding their musical horizons.
