There are seven members (listed ages are how old they were during their debut): Some people may think I’m being too hard on them, while others may think I’m not being hard enough on them, since with a lot of the big ones I’m also going to try to provide more context/background. I’ll just try to list everything as thoroughly and unbiased as possible, listing all the facts, and I’ll let people come to their own (hopefully nuanced) conclusions.īTS debuted with Big Hit Entertainment in June 2013. Either way, I just request that you read all of it beforehand for a complete picture. This could be used as both a callout post and a compilation of how great they are. I was out sick for a couple days, had some time off, couldn’t get this off my mind (we love fixations), and I like pretending to be a sociologist, so: here’s a chronological list of everything BTS has ever done related to all social justice issues (racism, misogyny, LGBT issues, mental health issues, etc), both good and bad, compiled just to have it all in one place. I find it absolutely fascinating how so many different people talk about BTS in such different ways, with some of their fans saying they’re among the most progressive celebrities on the planet while others say they’re the prime example of racism in K-Pop.
