Who are BTS? The group that defeated Justin Bieber at the Billboard Music Awards

A winner you might not be familiar with at the 2017 #Billboard Music Awards is a K-Pop group titled BTS. Bangtan Songyeondan (BTS) won the Top Social Artist award, defeating Selena Gomez and #Justin Bieber.

The group received numerous awards and nominations at the Billboard Music Awards and other events and has been around for over four years. BTS beats out four famous artists – Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Shawn Mendes, and Selena Gomez.

Who are the group members?

Bangtan Songyeondan is made up of seven members named Rap Monster, Suga, Jimin, V, Jin, J-Hope, and Jungkook. Big Hit Entertainment formed this Korean band in June 2013, and they debuted with the famous song "No More Dream." They released their first album in August 2013 titled "2 Cool 4 Skool," for which the group won three New Artist of the Year awards, four MelOn Music Awards and four Golden Disk Awards.

In South Korea, the group successfully sold over 650,531 "Wings" copies in the first month, which became the best-selling album in the history.
