Accumulating an impressive number of records, the seven boys from South Korea have become some of the great representatives of k-pop, which becomes more and more popular among the public with each passing day. But how did it all start?
As usual in K-pop, it all started with the trainee process. In 2010, BigHit Entertainment started the project with the initial idea of creating a new boygroup focused on hip-hop and, for that, auditions were opened in search of new talent. All those approved went through another 3 years of intensive training, also participating in some collaborations with other artists already recognized in the market, such as Jo Kwonfrom 2AM.

After reformulation, Bang Sihyuk, CEO of BigHit, also started looking for vocalists who could join the rappers. Thats how Jin, V, jungkook It is Jimin entered history.
After much mystery, the company revealed its newest boygroup Bangtan Sonyeondan / Bangtan Boys, or simply BTS, consisting of kim namjoon (MRI), the leader and main rapper; Kim Seokjin (Jin), the oldest member and vocalist; Min Yoongi (Sucks), the lead rapper; Jung Hoseok (j-hope), the main dancer, vocalist and rapper; Park Jimin (Jimin), the main dancer and lead vocalist; kim taehyung (V), the lead dancer, vocalist and visual; It is Jeon Jeongguk (jungkook), the maknae, main vocalist, lead dancer, rapper and center.

In the same year, BTS made two more releases, with the songs NO, from the mini-album O!RUL8,2? and Boy in Luv, from Skool Luv Affair, which grew in sales with each release. All this effort earned them their first major award, with the Rookie of the Year category at the Melon Music Awards.
A year after their debut, the group made their debut in the Japanese market and set foot in Brazil for the first time, in August 2014. At the time, the boys held a small fanmeet in the city of São Paulo for only 1,500 people, which was part of the their first world tour, The Red Bullet Tour.
