BTS just became the first Korean male group to have a charted song on The Billboard Hot 100. The group has officially followed the footsteps of the giant K-pop acts Wonder Girls, CL, and Psy who have all charted well on the most coveted record chart. The Billboard Hot 100 is the music industry standard record chart in the United States for singles, published weekly by Billboard magazine.
They worked hard and got it, I’m proud to be a fan of such a hardworking group and such a hardworking fandom A FAMILY♡

BTS, also known now as Beyond The Scene has been charting not only with their songs, but also with their albums worldwide.
The group along with their fandom have been setting new records left and right. This makes BTS members and all of their teams’ efforts very much worth all the blood, sweat and tears.
