BTS
: The Kings of Cold Trivia and Comedy As seven of the biggest superstars in K-pop history and worldwide fame, BTS is known for their extraordinary musical talents and stunning performances. But what many fans might not know is that these Korean idols are also masters of the art of sometimes hilarious and often mind-bending trivia. Here are some of BTS's funniest and most surprising cold facts. 1. Did you know that "BTS" originally stood for "Bangtan Sonyeondan," which means "Bulletproof Boy Scouts" in Korean? The name reflected the group's desire to inspire young people to stand up for themselves and overcome adversity. 2. Despite their massive popularity, BTS is known to be remarkably humble and down-to-earth. In fact, they once revealed that their favorite restaurant to eat at during their early days was a humble budget-friendly chicken place called BBQ Chicken. 3. Love them or hate them, BTS has broken countless records in their career, from topping the charts in over 100 countries with their album "Map of the Soul: 7" to selling out stadiums worldwide. But did you know that the group also holds a Guinness World Record for most Twitter engagements (retweets and likes) in 2017? 4. Speaking of love and hate, BTS has a fair share of both. In just one example, the band received criticism from some fans in the West for performing a song that referenced Japanese history and culture. The controversy was so heated that a hashtag "#ApologizeToBTS" trended worldwide. 5. Despite their occasionally polarizing nature, BTS remains committed to promoting messages of positivity, self-love, and compassion. To that end, the group has worked with organizations such as UNICEF to combat youth violence and promote mental health awareness. 6. In one of their most impressive feats, BTS became the first Korean act to perform at the Grammys in 2019, where they delivered a breathtaking performance of their hit single "DNA." The group has also appeared on The Ellen Show, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and other major US talk shows. 7. BTS is no stranger to breaking stereotypes and pushing boundaries. For instance, the group's youngest member, 23-year-old Jeon Jungkook, is known for his impressive athleticism and has even taken on professional wrestlers in tests of strength and agility. 8. Finally, BTS's playful and mischievous side often comes out during their many TV appearances and interviews. Some of the band's funniest moments include Jimin trying his hand at beatboxing (with mixed results), J-Hope inventing a "horse dance" that swept the internet, and the group cracking up over a hilarious parody of their hit song "Dynamite" performed by a group of elderly ladies. Whether you're a die-hard BTS fan or simply appreciate the infectious energy and creativity of this talented group, these cold trivia facts are sure to delight and surprise you. Keep an eye out for even more amazing feats and hilarious moments from this unstoppable K-pop juggernaut.
