The superstar phenomenon BTS are not only dominating the charts worldwide -- they're also changing how people connect with art and music, and here's why.
The Korean septet Bangtan Sonyeondan (방탄소년단) AKA Bulletproof Boyscouts - RM, j-hope, SUGA, Jin, V, Jimin, and Jung Kook - have been together for a decade, perfecting their talents across entertainment and musical genres.
They created something completely original that was much needed by a sad world -- a modern entertainment lifestyle supported by a variety of never-ending content overflowing with hope and positivity.
They even have their very own exhibit in Seoul celebrating their creativity and success through a revolutionary immersive, multi-sensory experience.
This hard-working group write, compose, produce, and perform their music, in 4 languages, along with perfectly synchronized choreography, for sold-out stadium world tours, fan meetings, and ceaseless live performances.
There's also mixtapes and solo songs, films, documentaries, reality and variety shows like the hilarious game show Run BTS!, travel series Bon Voyage, behind the scenes Bangtan Bombs, also apps and games, webtoons, graphic novels, plus new surprises arrive each year at FESTA, Winter Package, and Seasons Greetings.
BTS constantly entertain via texts, photos, and YouTube videos on everything from heartfelt talks, how-to videos, art projects, cooking shows, drinking shows, dance, song, lyrics, poems, lifestyle, art, fashion, and so much more curated content.
What makes these artists so extraordinary is not just their polished stage performances, natural comedic talents, or how they've toppled Asian stereotypes -- it's that they're such a positive inspiration for the world's most inspired fanbase (ARMY) because of their outspokeness on social injustice, mental health, and self love.
With influence like the Connect, BTS global project to unite art and music, Unicef LOVE MYSELF campaign to end violence, inspiring SPEAK YOURSELF UN Speech, motivational Let's Live on in a New World UN Speech, heartwarming Commencement Speech, and all the members' continuous global philanthropy -- BTS use their power to make the world a better place.
This is a collection of some of Bangtan's most empowering and uplifting lyrics.
We don't need to worry
'Cause when we fall, we know how to land
[ Permission to Dance ]
Like an echo in the forest
The day will come back around
As if nothing happened
Yeah, life goes on
Like an arrow in the blue sky
Another day flying by
On my pillow, on my table
Yeah, life goes on
Like this again
[ Life Goes On ]
Can't hold me down 'cuz you know I'm a fighter
[ ON ]
Don’t be trapped in someone else’s dream
[ NO ]
Go your own way
Even if you live a day
Do something
Put weakness away
[ No More Dream ]
In the dark dawn, spreading trembling wings
Keep on shining make it brighter than a spotlight
[ Dream Glow ]
If you can’t fly, then run
Today we will survive
If you can’t run, then walk
Today we will survive
If you can’t walk, then crawl
[ Not Today ]
Even all the scars from your mistakes make up your constellation
[ Answer: Love Myself ]
90% of your worries are just an imaginary swamp that you created
[ So What ]
I’m diamond, you know I glow up
[ Dynamite ]
Everywhere I go, everything I do
I will show you, as much as I sharpened my sword
To all the people who looked down on me
Hey shout it out
[ We are Bulletproof Pt. 2 ]
We must believe only in ourselves
[ Love Maze ]
To lose your path
Is the way to find that path
[ Lost ]
If you try to damage me with simple words like that
I only become stronger
[ Cypher Pt. 3: Killer ]
Decide for yourself what it means to be happy
[ Lights ]
Even if winter comes again
Even if I’m blocked off, I will still walk
We are
we are forever bulletproof
[ We are Bulletproof: The Eternal ]
There's always something that's standing in the way
But if you don't let it faze ya
You'll know just how to break
Just keep the right vibe, yeah
[ Permission to Dance ]
Throw away the fear
[ Dis-ease ]
In the dark night, don't be lonely
Like the stars, we shine
Don't disappear, because you're a great existence
Let us shine
[ Mikrokosmos ]
Don’t ever be scared
Whatever people say, you’re okay
[ 21st Century Girls ]
You shine in this pitch darkness
That is the butterfly effect
[ Butterfly ]
Although I’ll fall again
I’ll make a mistake again
And I’ll be covered in mud
I believe in myself because I’m a hero
[ Anpanman ]
What am I doin’ with my life
This moment won’t ever come again
I’m asking myself again, am I happy right now?
The answer is already there, I’m happy
[ The Most Beautiful Moment in Life ]
Even the darkness we see is so beautiful
[ Your Eyes Tell ]
Days when you hate that you’re you, days when you wanna disappear
Let’s make a door in your heart
If you open that door and go inside, this place will be waiting for you
It’s ok to believe, it’ll comfort you, this Magic Shop
[ Magic Shop ]
I just wanna be happier
[ Blue & Grey ]
It’s okay, come on when I say one, two, three, forget it
Erase all sad memories
[ 2! 3! (Hoping for More Good Days) ]
These wings came from pain
But they are wings headed for the light
Though it’s hard and it hurts
If I can fly, I will fly
[ A Supplementary Story: You Never Walk Alone ]
Run, run, run again
It’s okay to fall
Run, run, run again
It’s okay to get hurt
[ Run ]
Even if you’re not perfect, you’re a limited edition
[ Do You - RM ]
All the dreamers
Put your hands up
Throw your worries away
[ Jump ]
You can’t stop me lovin’ myself
[ Idol ]
Leave your pointless worries aside for a moment
Let's enjoy together and remember together
[ Telepathy ]
Dream, you will fully bloom
After all the hardships
[ So Far Away - Agust D ]
Forever we are young
Even when I fall and hurt myself
I keep running towards my dream
[ Young Forever ]
Yes we're livin' and dyin'
At the same time
But you can open your eyes for now
[ 4 O’clock ]
I'm the one I should love in this world
Shining me, precious soul of mine
I finally realised so I love me
Not so perfect but so beautiful
[ Epiphany ]
Follow your dream like breaker
Even if it breaks down, don’t ever run backwards, never
Because the dawn right before the sun rises is the darkest
[ Tomorrow ]
So what
Don’t stop and worry yourself
It’s good for nothing
Let go
[ So What ]
And you're gonna be happy
Like the snow that just settled down
Let's breathe, like the first time
[ Zero O'Clock ]
I reject rejection
[ Dope ]
I want to tell you, that darkness
Exists everywhere, don't be afraid of it
Whatever night may swallow me, I won't give up
The fight for you, we’ll shine
[ Louder Than Bombs ]
I’m feeling just fine, fine, fine
I’ll keep telling myself
Even if I fall down again
I’m fine
[ I’m Fine ]
It's okay to shed the tears
But don't you tear yourself
[ Moonchild - RM ]
I believe in myself
My back hurting is for my wings to come
out
I believe in you, even if things are bleak right now
The end will be great
Fly, fly up in the sky
Fly, fly get ’em up high
It’s the path you chose, dude don’t be scared
This is just the first flight
[ Wings ]
Bright lights, going forward
You thought I was gonna fail but I’m fine, sorry
[ Mic Drop ]
It's just that loving myself
Doesn't require anyone else's permission
[ Answer: Love Myself ]
Moss surely grows on a stone that doesn’t roll
If you can’t return, go straight through your mistakes and forget them all
[ Nevermind ]
Though I walk this crazy world’s path
I still want to live longer
I want to find it, my faith
[ Am I Wrong ]
In a world where you feel cold
You gotta stay gold
[ Stay Gold ]
Just go instead of worrying
[ Go Go ]
Don’t worry even if I leave
You’ll do well on your own
[ First Love ]
Within this pitch black darkness,
You are shining so brightly
[ Save Me ]
When you close your eyes
In the darkness, my light
Lights the way for you
Let's walk forward without fear, you and I
[ Lights ]
If you have moments where you feel happiness for a while
It’s alright to stop
Now we don’t run without knowing the destination
It’s alright to not have a dream
All the breaths you breathe are already in paradise
[ Paradise ]
You are the standard for happiness and you walk that road
[ P.O.P Piece of Peace Pt. 1 - J-Hope ]
I’m becoming weird
You can’t go to the peak by being normal, baby
[ Boyz with Fun ]
Yes, look down on me like that
It’s my hobby to prove you wrong
[ We On ]
In a sigh, a lot of worries are hiding
Stop thinking about it, you already know it all
In the middle of the road, in the moment you want to give up
Shout out louder
So what, what, what
[ So What ]
Nothing can devour me
I shout out with ferocity
[ Black Swan ]
Time rushes ever forward
There’s no ifs, buts, or maybes
[ Ego ]
I love I love I love myself
I know I know I know myself
Ya playa haters you should love yourself
[ Cypher Pt. 4 ]
But this day will be over
When the minute and second hands overlap
The world holds its breath for a little while
[ Zero O‘Clock ]
You want to become everything, a leader for yourself
But you have to believe in yourself, your own leader
Bad thoughts and pessimistic realizations
That’ll seem like it’s right but you’re really erasing your flavor
[ I Believe - RM ]
It's ok to be you
[ Lights ]
Let’s just feel the youth
Young, wild and free
[ Daydream - J-Hope ]
I do believe your galaxy
[ Magic Shop ]
The morning will come again
No darkness, no season is eternal
[ Spring Day ]
Live however you want, it’s your life anyway
[ Fire ]
It all passes
Someday
For sure
Certainly
[ Everything Goes - RM ]
If I'm the sun, you're the moon, because when I rise, you go down
[ Cypher Pt. 2: Triptych ]
I live so I love
[ Trivia: Love ]
No matter what face I make, it's fine now
The really precious things are invisible
[ Bicycle - RM ]
I said it's alright, oh yeah
One day it'll be a good day, for sure
You won't be alone, always
I'll be by your side, we'll be okay
If we're connected, surely it'll be brighter tomorrow
[ Good Day ]
There is nothing permanent in the world
Everything is just a happening passing through
[ People - Agust D ]
Nothing lasts forever
You only live once
So live your life, not any other’s lives
Take chances and never regret, never
Never be late to do what you wanna do right now
Because at one point of someday
Everything you did
Would be exactly what you will be
Right?
[ O!RUL8,2? ]
Even if my knees drop to the ground
As long as they don’t get buried
It won’t matter
[ ON ]
We gotta dance in the rain
Dance in the pain
Even though we crash down
We gon dance in the plane
[ Moonchild - RM ]
I'm ready to let go
[ Let Go ]
You’ve shown me I have reasons
I should love myself
[ Answer: Love Myself ]
