Subsequent work such as
their first US Billboard 200 entries The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Part 2 (2015), The Most Beautiful Moment in Life: Young Forever (2016), and Wings (2016) helped establish BTS' reputation as a socially
conscious group. Wings became their first album to sell one million
copies in South Korea. By 2017,
Having sold over 20 million albums on the Gaon Music
Chart, BTS is
the best-selling artist in South Korean history and holds the best-selling album in South Korea with Map of the Soul: 7.

The group's name, BTS, stands for the Korean expression Bangtan Sonyeondan literally meaning "Bulletproof Boy Scouts". According to member J-Hope, the name signifies the group's desire "to block out stereotypes, criticisms, and expectations that aim on adolescents like bullets". In Japan, they are known as Bōdan Shōnendan which translates similarly. In July 2017, BTS announced that their name would also stand for "Beyond the Scene" as part of their new brand identity. This extended their name to mean "growing youth BTS who is going beyond the realities they are facing, and going forward.

There are four reasons that BTS have become as popular as they have. With K-pop growing in popularity, they're simply making the music that people want to listen to! ... While many K-pop songs are about relationships and love, BTS cover subjects that other bands may not like bullying, elitism and mental health.
Dynamite' is BTS's first song entirely in English, but that doesn't mean the group is giving up their K-pop identity.
The most popular boy group in the world is back with a new music video, and it's full of fun moments and granular details that help build its retro feel.
BTS, the 7-member K-pop group, dropped a new music video for their new digital single "Dynamite" on Friday. Upon its release, "Dynamite" has already set the new record for the highest number of viewers for a YouTube video premiere, with at least 3 million viewers around the world tuned in when the music video dropped. It also swept iTunes charts and landed a spot on Spotify's "Today's Top Hits" playlist.
At the virtual press conference ahead of the music video premiere, BTS's leader RM introduced the new song as a "new challenge" for BTS. For the first time since the group's debut, its lyrics are entirely in English. It was also dropped in a timezone friendly to fans in the US.
More importantly, "Dynamite" clearly signals a new territory for BTS's musical endeavors. Describing "Dynamite" as a "feel-good song," V told the press that the song "felt new and a different" from what the group's tried before.
