BTS!!!!!

Who is BTS?

BTS is a boy band group from South Korea that has seven members. Those seven members are RM(Kim Nam-Joon), Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook.

How did BTS start and what did they struggle with?

BTS was formed in 2010 after Big Hit Entertainment CEO Bang Si-hyuk wanted to form a hip-hop group around RM (Kim Nam-joon). Moreover, BTS did struggle with a lot of things such as their company going out of funds and the need to practice their singing and dancing. It may take them a week or more for them to learn the dance correctly. However, they didn’t give up and pushed themselves to improve their dancing and singing skills. It is not very easy to be a k-pop group because you have to have a lot of talents such as singing, dancing, and rapping.
