Their name, BTS, stands for the Korean phrase Bangtan Sonyeondan which means “Bulletproof Boy Scouts”. This name signifies the group members’ desire to break stereotypes, high expectations, and criticisms that are bombarded on adolescents like bullets. In July 2017, the band announced that their name would also stand for Beyond The Scene, as a part of their identity.
BTS was initially supposed to be a Hip Hop band but that didn’t prove to be very successful. Therefore, they changed their plan and decided to change their direction because they felt a change in the path that they have to follow would open new avenues for them.
The band has grown by leaps and bounds and is undoubtedly one of the best bands today in the world.
