BTS - Up Close And Personal: Celebrating 10 Years

On June 13, 2013, after years of intense work as trainees, Jimin, RM, Jungkook, Jin, Suga, V and J-Hope made their official stage debut on M Countdown, performing “We Are Bulletproof” and “No More Dream.” And over the past decade, they’ve seen all of their dreams come true. But they know that their success would not have been possible without the love and support of their beloved fans. “We are who we are right now because of ARMY,” said Jin. “We would not have been able to accomplish what we have without them.” And despite having to take some time away from group activities due to their mandatory military service, BTS’ star continues to shine brighter than ever.
