CHAPTER 1 (2013 -2022): THE RISE OF BTS
JUNE 12 2013
"We are now going to progress to some steps that are a bit more difficult. Ready, set, and begin." BTS begins their debut single album with a powerful phrase. The debut album "2 COOL 4 SKOOL" begins the "Skool" series of BTS. During this time, BTS targets the youth with a strong message: what is your dream? 2 COOL 4 SKOOL became a success for many due the raw themes targeting young people struggling in society due to competitiveness, anxiety, and imposed rules.BTS continues to touch on student's struggles as main topics on their second album "O!RUL8,2?", which narrates the sacrifice of dreams students must make under the pressure from society to obtain corporate jobs. On their second album, as BTS describes their struggles within the industry as well, they ask, "What happens if Bangtan (BTS) rises?" in the lyrics of their popular song 'The Rise of Bangtan' or also known as 'Attack on Bangtan'.On their 3rd album, 'SKOOL LUV AFFAIR', the group now focuses on the feelings on young students' love, and the struggles to manage the feelings and pressures to meet certain standards under someone else's eyes.1. 2 COOL 4 SKOOL

After releasing their anthology album "PROOF", the group makes an announcement that shakes the world of music and the fans: a break from group releases and a beginning of a new chapter. BTS promises their fans they will return as a group after completing their mandatory military service, but not before releasing solo projects that showcase each member's individuality.During this chapter, BTS members individually take on new challenges through different collaborations, storytelling, and production.Chapter 2 begins with the release of J-Hope's album "Jack in the Box". J-HOPE takes a complete turn on his second solo project with a darker and vulnerable side. On Jack in the Box, we listen to J-Hope's desires, anxieties, insecurities, and hopes.Following J-Hope's solo project, JIN announces his new single 'The Astronaut', expressing a touching message for the fans. The Astronaut is a beautifully composed single that expresses the deepest love during someone's company.RM's 'INDIGO' starts strong with a powerful line 'Fuck the trend setter, I'mma turn back the time'. With this album, RM starts by expressing the struggles he faces as an adult in his mid 20s with all eyes documenting his every move. The struggle of accepting mistakes, the war between human vs artist, the documentation of mistakes, the growth, the decision to move forward and deciding one can take care of oneself.
