June 21 truly marks an iconic moment - BTS is finally reunited, with rapper SUGA, aka Min Yoongi (also known by his alter ego Agust D), completing his military service. Fittingly, it's also World Music Day, a celebration of the very art that brought BTS and ARMY together.
On this special day - honouring both music and reunion - let's take a look at some unforgettable BTS songs by Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook that turned listeners into fans, and fans into devoted ARMY.
I NEED U (2015)
The song that is widely regarded as the turning point in BTS' early career. The track catapulted them from just another K-pop idol on the block to serious contenders among top groups. The song captured their emotional depth, raw vulnerability, and had a cinematic storytelling which resonated deeply with fans. It also marked BTS' first top 10 entry on the Korean charts and earned them their very first music show win.
Dope (2015)
This track showcased BTS in a bold, energetic, and unapologetically confident way. The intense choreography and hard-hitting electronic beat only helped solidify their performance reputation. In fact the iconic "Welcome, first time with BTS?" line at the start of the song became an instant catchphrase and was used not only by ARMY but many other K-pop idols for their performances as well. This song only fueled their rise in Korea and gained traction internationally thanks to viral performances and reaction videos.
Blood Sweat & Tears (2016)
Who can ever forget this era? BTS stepped into a new kind of artistry where they combined lush visuals, a more mature concept, and a genre-blending sound. The track played a key role in elevating their domestic popularity as they achieved multiple music show wins and year-end awards. Not just that, it got in so many international fans proving that BTS could push boundaries both musically and visually. For many, this song marked the moment BTS evolved as a group that wasn't just popular, but also visionary.
Boy With Luv (2019)
This vibrant, feel-good track featuring American singer Halsey became one of BTS' most listen to songs, both in South Korea and abroad. It captured a softer, more joyful energy that contrasted with their previous darker themes. It broke records for YouTube views and chart performance, and its catchy chorus and colorful concept made it a favorite among both longtime ARMY and casual listeners. It was a cultural moment, further cementing BTS' place in mainstream pop.
Dynamite (2020)
Released during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, when BTS had to cancel their tour, this song was BTS' first fully English single - and a game-changer. It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making BTS the first South Korean act to achieve that feat. The song's retro disco vibe, uplifting message, and global appeal brought comfort and joy during difficult times. Dynamite wasn't just a commercial hit - it was a symbol of BTS' ability to unite fans across the world through music, regardless of language.
