BTS has examined the history of Hip-Hop
Since K-inception pop’s in the 1990s, hip-hop has played a part in the genre. But right now, rap is seeing a revival in Korea. As a boy band, BTS may not seem like the obvious forerunners of K-hip-hop. But they have influenced the genre in ways that have increased its accessibility to audiences more accustomed to bubblegum pop.
BTS faced criticism for cultural appropriation and for being insincere after beginning their career by imitating traditional hip-hop swag. Their reality series American Hustle Life from 2014 included a crash course in the genre with assistance from Coolio and Warren G. Therefore, they investigated the origins and musicianship of hip-hop.

BTS is the only K-pop act with its own Twitter emoji at the moment

The emoji was developed as part of BTS’s hunt for their largest fan bases; to win the title, the Brazilian, Turkish, and Russian ARMYs used the hashtag the most.
