“Despite their young age, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook have left a mark in the present cultural landscape, breaking free from the limitations of their home market and of a language, South Korean, that remains widely unknown to the international public. In fact, through their art, the seven artists are raising awareness around Korean culture and language (which earned them the ambitious 5th class of the Order of Cultural Merit, the Flower Crown).”
Besides breaking 23 records, the group will have a two-page spread in the 2022 Guinness Book of World Records. Also, they will be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Fans can stream their songs on Spotify.
