  Throughout their 10-year career, BTS has become a global cultural phenomenon, selling out stadiums and dominating music charts worldwide. However, the band is currently on hiatus as members pursue individual projects and fulfill their mandatory military service in South Korea. The oldest member, Jin, enlisted last year, and J-Hope reportedly began his military service in April, following South Korean regulations.

  Before their hiatus, BTS achieved significant success on the Hot 100 chart, securing six number one hits and individual members topping the singles chart with their solo tracks, as recognized by Billboard.
