However, what makes BTS so different from other groups in Korea? What was their formula for success? How did they make themselves stand out from the crowd?

        1. They Were The Underdogs In A Competitive K-Pop World

        BTS are different from many K-Pop groups due to their difficult start as a group. Unlike the major companies in K-Pop, BTS debuted under a smaller company that was not well known. Facing a lot of backlash for their interesting music choices and songs that addressed Korean society, many were rooting for BTS to fail and they did not expect this underdog group to get very far. Despite all of this, BTS is a worldwide, chart-topping, billionaire group that we know today. Nowadays, many groups from smaller companies follow in BTS's footsteps, becoming well-known names in the industry no matter their company!

        2. A Multi-Talented 7 Member Group

        BTS's talents speak for itself. Members can create songs, act in music videos and shows, and know how to keep their fans entertained through their different forms of media. BTS's leader RM is not only a talented rapper, he can produce and write songs as well. He is one of the main creditors on BTS and many other group's works. J-Hope started as a singer but learned how to rap for the group, something that is not an easy task. Not only that, he is a well-rounded dancer. V has a soothing, sultry voice but did you know he also can act and has starred in K-Drama's and music videos? Needless to say, BTS is not just a group that can sing a song, they are talented individuals whose skills transcend the K-Pop genre.

        3. When Put Together, You Have Energy Like No Other

        The strong synergy effect BTS creates is the most important reason why they got so popular. Members who mainly rap teach vocalist members how to sing and vice versa. All the parts of composing and producing music are distributed to all of the members and it creates a huge synergy effect. Even when it comes to choreography, many members have put in their ideas and moves to create the perfect comeback for fans.

        5. Story Telling Filled With Twists, Heartbreak And Youth

        If you're an original BTS fan, you may remember when everyone explored the internet to find out the story of BTS's "HYYH" albums. BTS have created their own world, filled with mysteries and different stories about time travel, heartbreak, and the symbolism of growing up. Their albums hold many stories but their songs also address important societal issues that the younger generation faces. Songs such as 'SPINE BREAKER' and 'DOPE' include social messages based on real problems in Korean society. It gained interest from not only Korean fans but also foreign fans around the world. It was very common for K-Pop groups to create songs about love, parties, and beauty when BTS was first starting. BTS always has been earnest about their music and in a society that didn't address these issues too often, the group took it upon themselves to create music that resonated with those around them.
