May 27, 2022 · The septet — consisting of members J-Hope, Jimin, Jin, Jungkook, RM, Suga, and V — hasn't released an album since 2020's Be, so naturally, fans are excited for BTS' upcoming anthology album, Proof, on June 10. The three-part project will include both old and new tracks, and will surely showcase the magic that is BTS.
Going real meta here, but the highlight for me this year (my first year and not a full one at that as a BTS fan) is seeing outlets like Billboard, BBC, Noisey, etc. have full-on articles like this about a Korean group. And repeatedly too! It was a good year to not be side-eyeing Korean entertainment news that clearly was exaggerating the ...
- Billboard Music Awards. BTS was already one of the hottest acts in Korea, but shocked the music industry when they beat out names like Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez for Top Social Artist at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards in May.
- Love Yourself: Her. The group released their fifth album Love Yourself: Her, in September to much fanfare. The release shattered records with over one million pre-orders before its release, and topped the iTunes Albums chart at No. 1 in 73 countries, the largest debut release for any South Korean artist.
- Touchdown at LAX. Two months later, the band returned to the U.S. -- with a welcome akin to early Beatlemania. Hundreds of fans (and ET's Denny Directo) flocked to Los Angeles International Airport to greet V, RM, Jimin, Jin, Jungkook, Suga and J-Hope ahead of their performance at the 2017 American Music Awards.
- BTS Takes Over Daily Denny. A day after the group touched down at LAX, they joined ET's Denny Directo for the Daily Denny on YouTube -- their first interview stateside in the days leading up to the AMAs.

Probably the most obvious choice for a music group, but also the most important – the release of their repackaged album “You Never Walk Alone” in February, and of course the most recent album “Love Yourself: Her” are the epicenter of BTS’ success in 2017. With the lead singles being “Spring Day,” “Not Today,” “DNA,” and the remix version of “MIC Dr...
Some of the suffering A.R.M.Ys were lucky enough to actually be able to go to a BTS concert. 550,000 lucky fans in 40 performances and 19 countries, to put that into numbers. And that’s only the concerts during the “Wings” world tour. For the first time, BTS held a dome concert in Japan, to which the members refer to as one of the most memorable mo...
With “Dope,” “Fire,” “Blood Sweat & Tears,” and “DNA,” BTS currently has four MVs with more than 200 Million views. Their Twitter just reached 11 million followers and seven million users are following them on V Live. Their success also shows in many award shows, having won three Daesangs for their work this year at the Melon Music Awards and Mnet ...
BTS has been visiting the United States very frequently this year. There was the “Wings” tour, “Bon Voyage Season 2,” the BBMAs, and of course the AMAs. While visiting for the AMAs and making their U.S. TV debut with their performance, they also did interviews with TV shows such as “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” “The Late Late Sh...
BTS and Big Hit Entertainment have made a donation to help victims of the Sewol ferry tragedy this year, and contributed items to sell at the WeAja Charity Flea Market. But their most important action for a good cause is the launch of the “Love Myself” campaign with UNICEF, aspiring to stop violence against children and teens worldwide. The campaig...
Beyond their albums and official promotions, BTS continues to work on music, which results in amazing solo songs, covers, or collabs with other artists. RM released “Always,” “Change” featuring Wale, was featured on Gaeko’s “Gajah,” and recorded “4 O’Clock” with fellow member V. But he wasn’t the only busy member. Tae and Jin sang the song “Even If...
Jin mentioned that he wanted to do variety shows in 2017, and his wish came true. The boys (or at least some of the members) were guests on “King of Masked Singer,” “Law of the Jungle,” “Hello Counselor,” “Ask Us Anything,” “Please Take Care Of My Refrigerator,” and “Let’s Eat Dinner Together” – and that’s just some of them. For their comeback, the...
Following the activities of BTS probably wouldn’t be as much fun if we didn’t get to watch them in shows and videos. The really juicy stuff is delivered on the boys’ V Live and YouTube channels. 2017 would be lacking without “BTS Gayo,” “Run BTS! 2017,” “EAT Jin,” “BTS Home Party,” and of course “Bon Voyage” season two, but that’s still not all of ...
Oh you thought they were done after producing all of the above? Nope. Still not done. Tae’s acting debut in “Hwarang” alongside Park Seo Joon, Go Ara, Park Hyung Sik, Choi Minho, Do Ji Han, and many others, was a great success. It started airing in December 2016, but went on until February 2017, so it belongs in this list. Also in February, Jungkoo...
Over the first few months of 2017, BTS shared their personal playlists with us via Spotify. As music is rather important for an artist as a potential source of inspiration, that’s a pretty big piece of private life right there. They also let us in on some of their private trips, like V and Park Bo Gum’s trip to Jeju Island, JK and Jimin’s trip to J...
