Earlier this year, the K-Pop boy band BTS took the world by storm as their huge following grew from primarily South Korea to spread out all over the world. They even won their first Billboard Music Award in a category that Justin Bieber has taken home for the past several years. In case you don’t already know their name, you will soon. And if you have any lingering questions about their name, well, we will try to answer them all.

What does the acronym of BTS stand for?

The letters “BTS” officially stand for their Korean name “Bangtan Sonyeondan.” However, the global sensations recently decided to take another step to further appeal to international fans. The group announced a new English name with a whole new meaning. The group’s new name “Beyond the Scene” doubles as a different version of the beloved acronym “BTS.” Check out the video below to reveal the boy band’s new name and how their biggest fans have reacted to the change.

The fans’ reactions have varied greatly, from tears and identity crises to little or no reaction to the slight change. Though the new English band name comes with an additional meaning and a new logo, the boys have not changed. BTS is still the same BTS that we know and love. Even though BTS only has Japanese and Korean language music right now, they have performed all over the United States. Maybe one day, the band will grace us with a song in English.

What is the meaning of BTS in Korean and how do you write it?

The name change appears to be an effort to relate more directly to English-speaking audiences. This alteration could lead to even more international interest in the band. However, the band is not giving up on their original name. The group will continue to use the name “Bangtan Sonyeondan” (방탄소년단) as well, especially in Korea. The literal translation in English is “Bulletproof Boy Scouts.”
