* "IDOL", in all of its [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs trip-inducing]] glory, manages to include many elements of Korean culture, like traditional dances, Hanbok outfits, and symbols like the tiger. BTS is entering the US mainstream by celebrating their culture!

* The Grammy 2022 performance had them act like phantom thieves about to steal a priceless artifact in a museum. What's noticeable about the performance is that only ''four'' of them were able to practice in a week. Both j-hope and Jungkook were tested positive for Covid and had a single '''day''' to master the choreography and Jin had surgery for his finger. Yet you wouldn't have known just by looking at it!

* The Cyphers, with Cypher Pt. 2 and Pt. 3 being the most vicious. A true delight is listening all four Cyphers in order. You can truly see the progression in not only the kind of insults they make (from vicious to outright dismissive, due to their rise in status), but in J-Hope's skills. Unlike RM and Suga (who both were underground artists in the Korean HipHop scene before joining), J-Hope joined BTS being a dancer, knowing nothing about rapping, but he decided by himself to try to hold his own against the others. Over the course of 4-5 years, he managed to not only learn and keep up with RM and Suga, but to also develop his own unique style that complements the rest of the rap line.

* The smart move of combining traditional Korean and African sounds in "IDOL" - which you could take as celebrating both their culture and the one that gave birth to the genres that influenced them -, and making the song about the members loving themselves regardless of what everyone thinks of the group - or whether they call them idols, artists or whatever - when "IDOL" was the title song of an album that was highly anticipated both by fans and Korean and international media.

* The official "On" MV features a war-torn battlefield and meteors falling down the members in a full cinematic story set {{after the end}}, with the members shown reaching {{the promised land}}. The members' arrival makes plants grow. The MV also includes references to well-known works, such as Film/TheChroniclesOfNarnia, Film/TheMazeRunnerSeries, and Film/BirdBox and the [[Literature/TheBible Biblical stories]] Noah's Ark and Adam and Eve.



** Then J-Hope appears, performing both the rap and (very difficult) choreography of "Intro: Boy Meets Evil", when it suddenly stops; Jimin appears and proceeds to dance to a remixed portion of "Lie" flawlessly... while ''blindfolded''. And ''then'', the chorus of "Boy Meets Evil" kicks in, with both J-Hope and ('''still blindfolded''') Jimin dancing to it in perfect synchrony. ''Then'' Jimin takes off the blindfold, and everyone else appears to perform "[[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Blood, Sweat and Tears]]".
** After that, an OminousPipeOrgan starts to play in the background, during which V appears and kneels behind Jin (who is sitting facing away from the audience), takes of his in-ear and part of his jacket and bares his shoulders, showing [[SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome scars where wings should be]]. Then he grabs Jin, looking absolutely ''sinister''.
** Then comes an interlude with many backing dancers performing to OminousLatinChanting ([[FridgeBrilliance actually a remix of "Interlude_Dream, Reality"]], a track from ''Agust D''), then silence... where flames start consuming the stage screen, followed by BTS' performance of "Fire". The fact that the choreography of this songs demands so much energy, but they still placed that song in the end (with an extended ending, even!) makes it even more of an awesome feat; you can see them sweating all the way, but still going all-out to the end.
* Jimin getting a chance to show off his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMqmnhgNLXY&t=1m8s contemporary dance skills]] in "Butterfly" and "Spring Day".

** There's also the FridgeBrilliance of the choreography starting more or less right where the "DNA" choreography ends, which is the members standing on a line with the back to the audience. "Fake Love" starts with the members in line ''facing'' the audience, with the line then unraveling[[note]]much like the flower design in the ''LOVE YOURSELF: Her'', which unravels in the cover of ''Tear''[[/note]].

* "I'm Fine" is one of BTS' best choreographies when it comes to tell a story through dance, with moments like an individual member falling or stumbling and being quickly picked-up by the others as a group. It also follows directly the end of "Save Me" (which "I'm Fine" is the SequelSong for)... with Suga and J-Hope then quickly moving to the center while still lying on the ground to support V.

* The fact that BTS still managed become one of the highlights by what was a short appearance in Music/LilNasX's performance of "Old Town Road" at the 2020 Grammys (a performance that had no choreography and simply had all the members singing and having fun) is pretty notable.
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSNd02kVv8o debut performance of "Black Swan"]] in ''Series/TheLateLateShow with James Corden'' joins the performances of "Boy With Luv" at SNL and "IDOL" at Fallon as the US performances with most views, and with good reason. It takes the already SugarWiki/{{Awesome|Music}} "Black Swan" and puts it in a stage resembling a beautiful forest at nighttime in the background, with the members dancing (barefoot) a choreography with modern elements that makes references to the wings of a black swan as well as the feelings of fear and pain at possibly losing one's passion for their craft. While there are great moments from the more experienced dancers (Jimin particularly), every single member gets their dance to shine and gets the center at at least one point.

You can see the camerawork and even the commentators focusing only on the other groups taking the lead at first - not even mentioning BTS when they're on second place... then Jungkook suddenly entering the frame during the final lap, surprising everyone.

[[folder:Meta - Records and Achievements]]
* [[https://twitter.com/genius_taehyung/status/1210866100369575936?s=21 Here are some of their achievements in 2019 alone.]]
* BTS is the first K-Pop group outside of the Big 3 (meaning they aren't under SM Entertainment, YG Entertainment or JYP Entertainment) to:
** Have a video reach 100 million views on [=YouTube=].
** Win Artist of the Year at the MAMA Awards. Which they won again the next three years!
* "Spring Day" is the longest-charting idol song and song in general and still counting on the Korean music charts!
* Winning the Top Social Artist award at Billboard Music Awards 2017 and ending Music/JustinBieber's six-year winning streak in that category. Equally awesome for [=ARMYs=] since the award was fan-voted.
** There are many reasons this win was meaningful: BTS is a Korean group that makes music almost completely in Korean. The award was proof that there is a market beyond the traditional charting methods (local album sales, streaming and radioplay), a market that is willing to listen to music not in the English language, music made by Asian artists from a relatively unknown country such as Korea and (to top it off) with empowering social messages in their lyrics despite the stereotypes associated to the category of "idols".
** The award also became a turning point of their career in the US, finally managing to cross over to the mainstream and starting their streak of records in the main Billboard charts below.
** Their appearance at the awards was also the origin of several collaborations with artists of the Western industry, including Steve Aoki and The Chainsmokers.
* BTS' new mini album ''LOVE YOURSELF: 承 Her'' reaching #1 on iTunes in 71 countries worldwide.
** Similarly, the lead single, "DNA", charted at #85 on the Billboard Hot 100, making them the first K-pop group to crack the Hot 100 since Wonder Girls in 2009, and the first ''period'' to stay more than one week. It achieved RIAA Gold less than 5 months later.
* BTS having their debut U.S. performance at the 2017 American Music Awards, right before Diana Ross. Both the performance and the sheer number of fans present caught the attention of both celebrities and the public.
* Being the first Korean idol group ''period'' to win "Musician of the Year" (and to be nominated at all in that category) at the Korean Music Awards in 2018. Rather than sales or fan voting, this award is purely based on the vote of a panel of judges composed by a variety of musicians, critics and other experts from the industry, with the ceremony itself being small and relatively unknown due to the organizers refusing to rely on sponsors (to avoid having their decisions influenced by external forces). Therefore, this is a credit not to their popularity, but their artistry.
** For the 2019 Korean Music Awards, they received ''four'' nominations and won three: Best Pop Song, Song of the Year (both for "Fake Love") and Musician of the Year (Best Album being the only one where they didn't win). With this, BTS became the first artist in history to receive the KMA award for Musician of the Year two years in a row, the first male act to win it twice, and the second act to win it twice (after Lee Tzsche).
* BTS making their "Fake Love" first comeback performance at non-other than the Billboard Music Awards 2018.
* ''LOVE YOURSELF: Tear'' managed to get #1 in Billboard 200, with "Fake Love" (to the utter surprise of fans themselves, as predictions had it at #20-30) debuting at #10 in [=Hot100=]. ''Tear'' is the first album in a foreign language to get #1 on Billboard since 2006.
** ''Tear'' also earned them their first Grammy nomination for Best Recording Package.
* ''LOVE YOURSELF: Answer'' getting #1 in Billboard 200, their second number one in 2018, making BTS the only artist to get more than one album to top the list in 2018 and the first pop act to do so since One Direction in 2014.
** "IDOL" breaking Music/TaylorSwift's record for most views garnered by a music video in the first 24 hours.
** ''Answer'' managed to sell over 2 million copies, being the first Korean album to do so since the year ''2000''. Especially notable considering that this happened in the streaming era, where physical albums aren't sold nearly as much anymore.
* BTS becoming the first Korean artist to have a stadium show in the U.S., being scheduled to perform at the Citi Field Stadium. And then having the tickets for the show sold out in ''20 minutes''.
* Receiving the Order of Cultural Merit (awarded by the South Korean government for "outstanding services" in "promoting the national culture and development"), the youngest people to do so.
* While being nominated for Best Recording Package at the Grammys and being invited to present an award might not seem much, the Grammys' attitude against non-English artists and boybands in general (let alone a Korean boyband) shows just how important this is for BTS, and it might set the path to a nomination in bigger categories!
** The nomination itself is also this (even if it didn't win), as it gives recognition towards the great design of the albums in the ''LOVE YOURSELF'' series (in all their minimalistic-yet-meaningful glory), all designed by [=HuskyFox=].
* In February 26th, 2019, BTS received various awards in one day:
** They won 3 awards in the Korean Music Awards, including Musician of the Year ''again'' (see above).
** They won a prize at the Edaily Culture Awards for the Concert category, ''and'' they won the Grand Prize (chosen among the winners of all categories), being the first time the award is given to a concert.
** Received several awards from VLIVE: Artist [=TOP10=], Video of the Year, Best V Original (for Webvideo/RunBTS), and Best Channel 10M Follower (being the only channel with that amount of followers).
* According to the IFPI, they were the second most successful artist globally in 2018, surpassing the likes of Eminem, Queen and Ariana Grande, and only coming behind Drake.
** They are also the first Korean artist to appear on the chart.
** ''LOVE YOURSELF: Tear'' and ''LOVE YOURSELF: Answer'' also appeared in the 2018 IFPI Global Album chart (that is, the biggest-selling albums worldwide) at #3 and #2 respectively, surpassing Ed Sheeran and the ''Film/{{A Star Is Born|2018}}'' and ''Film/BohemianRhapsody'' soundtracks and only coming behind the ''Film/TheGreatestShowman'' OST!
* "Boy With Luv" became the video with most views in its 24 hours (78 million unofficially, 74.6 million officially), as well as the fastest to reach 100 million in Youtube history.
* Becoming the first Korean idol group to perform in ''Series/SaturdayNightLive''.
* Appearing on [[http://time.com/collection/100-most-influential-people-2019/5567876/bts the TIME100 list of 2019]] (that is, the list of most influential people according to ''TIME'' magazine). Not long before that, [[http://time.com/5570948/bts-time-100-2019-reader-poll-winner/ BTS had already won the reader poll for the second time in a row]], as well as named one of the [[http://time.com/5324130/most-influential-internet/ Most Influential People on the Internet]] in 2018 and 2017.
* Jimin's "Promise" breaking Drake's record of the song with most streams in its first 24 hours on Soundcloud.
* With ''MAP OF THE SOUL: PERSONA'', BTS became the first group to score 3 #1s in Billboard 200 in less in a year since Music/TheBeatles in 1996, and the second fastest in history to do so (first being Music/TheMonkees).
* Getting a #8 entry in [=Hot100=] with "Boy With Luv" ''and'' a #95 with "Make it Right", becoming the first Korean act to get multiple songs simultaneously in the chart.
* Winning Top Duo[=/=]Group in the Billboard Music Awards, cementing their status as a mainstream pop artist in the US.
* Performing 2 nights in the Wembley Stadium, becoming the first Korean act to headline a concert there - both dates being sold-out. The tickets for the first day sold out in 90 minutes.
* j-hope becoming the first BTS member to debut solo on the Billboard [=Hot100=] chart (at #81) with "Chicken Noodle Soup" (featuring Becky G).
* In the Melon Music Awards, going from receiving their first Rookie Award in 2013, to their first ''daesang'' (award in a main category, Album of the Year in this case) in 2016, to a ''complete clean sweep'' of the Melon ''daesangs'' in 2019 (winning Record, Song, Album and Artist of the Year), becoming the first artist to win all 4 in a Melon ceremony.
* Becoming the first artist to win the ''daesang'' in both days of the 2020 Golden Disk Awards - that is, winning both the Album of the Year award (aka. physical sales) and the Digital Song of the Year award.
* ''MAP OF THE SOUL: 7'' debuts on Billboard 200 at n. 1, their 4th album to do so. With it, BTS also became the ''seventh' artist in history to top all 5 album charts of the biggest music markets in the world (US, UK, Germany, France, Japan) simultaneously with one album.
** BTS was not long after announced to be in ''seventh'' place in IFPI's Global Artist chart.
** The main single, "ON", debuted in Billboard Hot 100 at #4, [[http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20200313000620 despite the near lack of radioplay in the US compared to other artists]].
* In the summer of 2020, BTS and the members themselves broke all kinds of iTunes records.
** BTS themselves broke Adele's record of most #1s on iTunes (with 'Hello') with Black Swan, which currently holds 105 #1s. They broke this record ''again'' with their Japanese release (and Jungkook produced) 'Your Eyes Tell,' which became the fastest song to reach 107 #1s ever.
** V's solo OST 'Sweet Night' for the k-drama ''Itaewon Class'' broke the record for most #1s, beating his own group's 'Black Swan' and as of August 2020 holds the most #1s ''period'', at ''115''.
** Jin's 'Moon,' his solo song from ''MAP OF THE SOUL: 7'' has broken the record for most #1s for a B-side, with 101.
** RM's solo album ''Mono'' broke the record for most #1s for an Asian artist, holding 114 as of August 2020. It's since extended that record with 121 as of April 2021.
** Also serves as a Crowning Moment for ARMY themselves, who put forth the effort and energy to chart BTS' discography as a celebration of their seventh anniversary and for their upcoming comeback at that time. Thanks to them, nearly every member of BTS has a song with over 70 #1s, and the group themselves now holds many of the top spots in the record book.
* BTS's first all-English single, "Dynamite", managed to break all kinds of records since its release on August 21, 2020:
** It became the fastest video on [=YouTube=] to reach 100M views, and also managed to reach 101M views in 24 hours.
** It was also the fastest video to reach 10M views, which happened only ''20 minutes'' after it was released. Its premiere was also the most viewed on [=YouTube=].
** Aside from [=YouTube=], it also managed to reach #1 in streams in 95 countries, and was the fastest song to achieve that.
** It was the biggest Spotify global debut in 2020.
** It gave them the title of the first Korean (and Asian) act in history to debut at #1 in Billboard [=Hot100=]. With the announcement coinciding with Jungkook's birthday, to boot!
*** It's since spent 2 weeks at #1, then 2 at #2, and then went back at #1. All this while competing with none other than "WAP", Meghan Thee Stallion and Cardi B's viral hit.
*** When "Dynamite" came back at #1, BTS also reached #1 in both of Billboard' Global 200 chart and Global 200 (excluding the US) chart, becoming the first act to top all three simultaneously. [[https://twitter.com/charts_k/status/1310762545674936320?s=21 They also got]] a #1 on Digital Song Sales, World Albums, Artist 100, and Social 50, making a total of... [[LuckySeven 7 charts where BTS got #1 in the same week]].
** 59 days after it was released, the music video surpassed 500 million views, setting a new record for the fastest MV to do so. It also reached 1 billion views in just seven months, making it the fastest MV by a Korean group to do so.
** Since its debut on the Billboard Hot 100, it had managed to stay in the Top 50 for 32 weeks, making it the longest-charting song on the chart by a Korean act. It had also been #1 on the Digital Song Sales chart for 18 weeks before being replaced by the group's own "Film Out", making it the song in general with the most weeks at #1.
* In Fall of 2020, BTS received the General James A. Van Fleet Award, which is awarded to Korean or American citizens who have contributed greatly to Korean-American relations. Not only are they the youngest ever recipients of the award by far, but are also the first musical group to do so.
* Less than a month after that, they became honorees of the 2020 Asia Game Changer Awards, after they used their platform to speak up against discrimination and inspired their huge global fanbase to do the same.
* BTS's first self-produced album, ''BE'', proved to be a huge success especially after the continued success of "Dynamite":
** On the first day, all seven tracks from the album made it into Spotify Global's Top 50, including "Skit", which wasn't even a song but a recorded conversation between the members.
** Also on Spotify, the album debuted with over 42 million streams on the first day, beating out ''MAP OF THE SOUL: 7'' for the biggest album debut on Spotify.
** As for album sales, it surpassed 1 million sales in ''just an hour'' after its release, faster than their previously record-breaking ''MAP OF THE SOUL:7'' that had been released in the same year.
** The album also soared up to #1 in sales on iTunes in the US, half an hour after its debut on the platform.
** The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and along with "Life Goes On", it marks the first time a Korean artist had both an album and a track debut at #1 on Hot 100 at the same time. Especially awesome considering all ''BE'' had was sales from an album with only one version, and streaming platforms.
** The title track, "Life Goes On", soared to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for its debut, making it the group's 3rd #1 overall and their first Korean-language track that wasn't a collaboration. Note that this track was denied the amount of radioplay that "Dynamite" had, and didn't have nearly as many remixes. "Dynamite" itself ended up on #3 on the same chart.
** "Blue & Grey", a side track on ''BE'', sold over 100K units on US iTunes on its first week, and even debuted at #9 on Billboard Global 200, along with Life Goes On at #1 and Dynamite at #3.
** Not only that, ''all'' of ''BE'''s tracks (with the exception of "Skit"- which still makes all of the album's ''songs'') [[https://twitter.com/billboardcharts/status/1333605335077167104?s=20 charted in Hot100]], making it the biggest number of BTS tracks to chart simultaneously.
** According to [[https://twitter.com/chartdata/status/1333611068690735105?s=20 the account chartdata]], this all also made them the first group in history to simultaneously top the Hot 100, Billboard 200 and Artist 100 charts. Not only that, but they also topped both Billboard Global charts, Social 50 and Digital Song Sales at the same time, all of this with both ''BE'' and "Life Goes On" on the top. This resulted in a brand new achievement for them dubbed a BAK, or "Billboard all Kill" similar to [=PAKs=] on Korean charts.
** The album becoming the group's 5th #1 album catches up to a record for the fastest group to have that many #1 albums consecutively... which was held by none other than ''The Beatles.'' Meanwhile, "Life Goes On" became the group's third #1 hit, achieving the fastest accumulation of three #1 hits since the Bee Gees.
* Becoming the first South Korean group to receive a Grammy nomination, with "Dynamite" for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
* BTS was the most streamed group on Spotify of 2020 globally.
** Suga (under his alias Agust D) was also the most streamed male k-pop artist on Spotify.
* RM and Suga both making it into Billboard Hot 100's top 10 songwriters, at #3 and #9 respectively.
* BTS winning "Best International Duo/Group of the Year" at the NRJ Music Awards, making them the first Asian act ever to have a win at a major ''French'' award show (which until then had mainly European and famous North American artists nominated for awards).
* Repeating their success from last year, BTS sweep all the daesangs again at the 2020 Melon Music Awards ''and'' the Mnet Music Awards.
* BTS topping the IFPI charts for 2020, showing how huge their global impact has become:
** They were named the #1 Global Artist for 2020.
** "Dynamite" placed #10 on Global Top 10 Digital singles.
** ''MAP OF THE SOUL: 7'' and ''BE'' both topped the Global Album All-Format and Album Sales charts (#1 and #4 respectively on the former, and #1 and #2 on the latter). Especially impressive was ''BE'' making it onto both charts, since it was an album that was released in November 2020 and only had about one month of tracking. Not only that, but #8 on the Global Album Sales chart was also a BTS album, and it's none other than ''MAP OF THE SOUL: 7 - THE JOURNEY'', an album that mainly had Japanese versions of their existing songs and didn't receive heavy promotions outside of Japan.
* Their nomination for the Best International Group 2021 at the prestigious BRIT awards in the United Kingdom, the first Korean act to be nominated in general.
* "Film Out", the group's first new release of 2021, reached 101 #1s on iTunes about a week after its release. It also replaced ''"Dynamite"'', which had an 18-week-reign, as #1 on the Digital Sales Chart, being the first Japanese song in history to do so. It also debuted at #81 on the Billboard Hot 100, the first Japanese song to do so since 1963. This makes BTS the first group to chart in the Hot 100 in 3 languages.
* Being the first Musicians to be honored in the A100 Hall of Fame, as they had been A100 honorees more than twice in the past for their impact on Asian representation and social change around the world.
* "Butter", BTS's second English-language song released in 2021, shattered several records like "Dynamite" before it and even outdid it in several aspects:
** It reached 10M views in only ''13 minutes'' after its premiere, becoming the new record-holder for fastest music video to reach that milestone.
** It surpassed 100M views on [=YouTube=] much faster than Dynamite did, and did it in much less than 24 hours to boot, making it the fastest video in the site's history to reach that many views. It officially ended the first 24 hours with 108 million views.
** On Spotify, it debuted with 11.042 million filtered streams, making it the biggest debut in the platform's history, and ended up on #2 for Spotify daily global streams that day. Especially impressive was the fact that due to its release time, it had only 20 hours of tracking for those numbers. Later, the number of unfiltered streams ended up being 20.9 million, setting another record for most single-day streams on the platform.
** The song also reached #1 on iTunes in 100 countries within the first 12 hours of its release, making it their 9th song to achieve this milestone as well.
** The song debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, Billboard Global 200 and Global 200 excluding US, making this the group's 4th #1 hit overall and 3rd to debut in all three of those charts. This makes them the fastest group to achieve 4 #1s at this speed since The Jackson Five in 1970.
** It's also the [[LuckySeven 7th]] song by the group to debut at #1 on the Digital Song Sales Chart.
** It also surpassed Music/{{Aerosmith}}'s record for the longest-running #1 by a group at five weeks, becoming the longest running #1 debut recorded by a single group in Hot 100 history. What makes this even better is that this took place during the month of June, meaning that BTS managed to get a #1 hit for both their debut day and their anniversary month.
** It led to BTS' first instance (and the first instance for a group) to replace themselves at no. 1 with the follow-up single "Permission to Dance" (with "Butter falling to #7), only to replace themselves ''again'' with "Butter" coming back to no. 1 (effectively doing a switcheroo with "Permission to Dance" falling to #7), becoming the first act in history to replace themselves at no. 1 on the Hot 100 chart in two consecutive weeks.
** It managed to jump back up to #1 on its 16th week, allowing it to finish at #1 on Billboard's "Song of the Summer" chart.
* Their song with Music/{{Coldplay}}, "My Universe", proved to be a huge success that resulted in many significant achievements for both groups:
** The song managed to dethrone ''Drake'' by debuting at #1 on the Rolling Stone's Top 100 songs chart, making it the first #1 on that chart for both Coldplay and BTS and making BTS the first Korean act to top the chart.
** The song also made its debut as #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 (as well as both global charts), making it the fifth time BTS had a Hot 100 #1 debut and the second #1 (and first debut) for Coldplay.

* The fact that even the members who joined the group knowing nothing about some areas (singing/dancing/rap) now not only keep up, but more than shine on their own on those very same areas.
* Taking part in Seo Taiji's 25th anniversary project ''TIME: TRAVELER''. BTS not only was one of the artists to cover one of his songs as part of the project (and one of Seo Taiji and Boys's most famous songs, at that, "Come Back Home"), but they performed several of Seo Taiji's classics with him in his ''25 TIME: TRAVELER'' concert in September 2017, the only featuring artist there. During the concert, in what also doubles as SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments, Seo Taiji told them "[[PassingTheTorch this is your generation now]]".
** To give this more context: Seo Taiji is the one who created the mix of Western and Korean genres that became the basis for KoreanPopMusic. He, along with his group Seo Taiji and Boys, was ''the'' most popular Korean artist among Korean youth during the early '90s, challenging the music industry (that back then was tightly controlled by television) with a fresh sound and political lyrics, and therefore becoming one of the most influential figures in modern Korean music. And he basically named BTS his {{Spiritual Successor}}s.
* Their 2-year (extended to 3) ''Love Myself'' campaign, launched in partnership with UNICEF for their #[=ENDviolence=] global program to protect children and youth around the world from violence. If you bought an album from the ''LOVE YOURSELF'' series, part of the money went to the cause!
* Getting to take part in the launch UNICEF's Generation Unlimited global partnership in September 2018, with RM making a personal and powerful [[https://youtu.be/oTe4f-bBEKg 7-minute speech]] about the meaning of the ''LOVE YOURSELF'' series and the "Love Myself" campaign - particularly, about the importance of finding your own voice and tell your own story to the world - in front of an UN assembly.
* Being featured on the cover on ''TIME'' magazine, under the title "Next Generation Leaders".
* Fans on Twitter have made active efforts towards making the best out of the fandom's size and diversity following BTS' socially conscious message, be it by opening spaces to learn from each other's cultures, promoting mental health, or organizing projects for charity.
** There are various fan projects on Twitter created to promote better fan behavior, both among the fandom, towards BTS and towards others, even if it means going against practices long established for fans of Korean idols.
*** The Purple Ribbon Project and [[https://twitter.com/opsnapp Operation #SNAPP]] (April 2018), both fan projects created to protect BTS at airports, places known to be frequented by sasaengs, overly-excited fans and paparazzi. The Purple Ribbon project (originated in May 2018 for BTS' arrival at the US for the Billboard Music Awards) has fans creating a barrier for BTS to pass through (symbolized by a purple ribbon) and/or working along with airport security, all to avoid invasion of BTS' personal space (as much as the airport's infrastructure allows). Operation [=#SNAPP=], meanwhile, works towards outright stopping the practice of fansite airport pictures, which are often a source of chaos and invasion of privacy in airports and elsewhere.
* BTS was credited (along with Music/ArianaGrande and Music/{{Drake}}) by the IFPI for [[https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-47788743 helping the global music industry "earn its biggest revenues in a decade"]] in 2018.
* The Connect, BTS project, an initiative where artists whose work resonates with BTS' philosophy get to exhibit performance art and art installations in 5 cities around the world (London, Berlin, Buenos Aires, Seoul and New York) and connect globally.
** One of these exhibits includes Aerocene Pacha, Tomás Saraceno's project of launching an Aerocene powered only by solar energy and air in Salinas Grandes - a technological achievement (breaking several Guinness records) as well as a political statement in favor of the defense of the environment and against lithium mining in Salinas Grandes (where it endangers several indigenous communities living in the area). [[https://twitter.com/gabipressello/status/1223436569085870080 People have noted also]] how the project is about connecting people around the world, being an interdisciplinary project that has also gathered fans as well as indigenous communities present in the project.
* As of September 2021, the BTS members were appointed Presidential Envoys by President Moon himself, and are the youngest people to receive this honor and a Republic of Korea diplomatic passport.

Special mentions go to:
** When asked to fit 33 sticks of butter into a fishbowl, Jimin realizes that he can flatten the sticks of butter inside the bowl to make more room and manages to fit all of them inside.
** Jin later does something similar in his challenge, where he squeezes 19 bananas into a fanny pack.
** Jungkook is asked to put 10 scoops of ice cream in a small taco coat without breaking it. He gets around this by [[LoopholeAbuse picking up smaller scoops of ice cream since the size of the scoops were never specified]], then eats his creation when he passes.
