BTS (방탄소년단) is a South Korean boy group that consists of 7 members: RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook. They are under Big Hit Music, a part of HYBE Labels. Debuting on June 13, 2013, with the lead single 'No More Dream' from their album '2 Cool 4 Skool', BTS quickly gained popularity and became a global phenomenon.
The fandom name for BTS is A.R.M.Y (Adorable Representative MC for Youth), representing the strong bond between the group and their fans. The official light stick color of BTS is silver-gray, symbolizing unity and support. Although the official fandom color is silver-gray, fans often associate the color purple with BTS, giving it an unofficial fandom color status.
Since 2018, BTS members have had a dorm arrangement with RM, Jin, Suga, V, and Jungkook having their own single rooms. J-Hope and Jimin, on the other hand, share a larger room. However, it is worth noting that they are currently mostly living on their own, as mentioned in the BTS Festa video.
