Despite early struggles and delayed popularity in South Korea, BTS’s international success was near. In 2018, BTS became the first non-English act in over a decade to top the Billboard 200. Over time, they have won 12 Billboard Music Awards, 11 American Music Awards, nominated 5 times at the Grammy awards, and broke multiple Guinness records. Their achievements have not only challenged the Western industry’s expectations of non-English acts, but have also helped confront stereotypes associated with East Asian musicians. Along with their global endeavors, BTS continues to thrive in the South Korean music industry — the group has now won 70 Daesangs (grand prizes),the most of any artist in the history of South Korean music and was the first act in history to win all of the Daesangs at both the 2019 Melon Music Awards and 2019 Mnet Asian Music Awards.
In addition to these successes, the members of BTS continue to express their own ideas of universality. They make frequent donations to charities, participate in UNICEF campaigns to end violence against children, and promote lesser-known artists on social media. They were featured on Time’s international cover as “Next Generation Leaders”. BTS has also appeared on Time’s lists of the 25 most influential people on the internet (2017–2019) and the 100 most influential people in the world (2019).

BTS had a press conference on 31 May, 2022 at The White House with the President of The United States, Joe Biden were BTS addressed the importance of raising awareness of anti-Asian hate crimes.
The members of the group have achieved immense success and wealth due to their exceptional skills in singing, dancing, and rapping. BTS’ net worth in 2023 was estimated to be between $120-150 million, prior to the IPO of HYBE Entertainment.
On June 14, during their ninth anniversary celebration, BTS shared that they would be taking a break to pursue solo projects and figure out their next steps as a band. Hybe Corporation, which owns Big Hit clarified in subsequent statements that BTS was neither disbanding nor going on hiatus, but would be actively furthering their individual careers with the label’s full support while still participating in group activities, including the filming of Run BTS(variety show were they play games and perform certain tasks).
