What is BTS? Boys to sissies?

Did they pay extra for those jeans that look like rags? When my daughter wanted to buy jeans like that, I rubbed some sand paper on them to make some well-placed holes and called it a day. In my day, we would put patches on them or you was considered “po.”

RE: What is BTS?

It's an abbreviated English transcription of the band's Korean name. BTS stands for the Korean phrase Bangtan Sonyeondan (Korean: 방탄소년단; Hanja: 防彈少年團) , which translates literally to "Bulletproof Boy Scouts". According to member J-Hope, the name signifies the group's desire "to block out stereotypes, criticisms, and expectations that aim on adolescents like bullets".

In Japan, they are known as Bōdan Shōnendan (防弾少年団).

In July 2017, BTS announced that their name would also stand for "Beyond the Scene" as part of their new brand identity.This extended the meaning of their name to encompass the idea of growth "from a boy to an adult who opens the doors that are facing forward".

South Korea has an entire entertainment industry they call “K POP’’. It’s boy and girl bands that jump around singing and dancing and they all burn out after about a year or two.
