What does BTS stand for, outside of K-pop?

[–] [email protected] 139 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Wait, does it not stand for "behind the scenes" wrt the K-pop group?

I thought it stood for Boppan Tangnam Style.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 11 months ago

Nah, for the Kpop group it's a shortening of the group's full Korean name Bangtan Sonyeondan which in English translates to "Bulletproof Boy Scouts". Though in recent years they apparently also added "Beyond the Scene" to try to show how they've grown since they first began.

It does stand for behind the scenes, but it is also a popular kpop group, the bangtan boys (bangtan sonyeondan in Korean) (everybody just calls them BTS)

From context, Behind The Scenes I guess

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

Idk until somebody say it... I am not BTS fan or KPop in general but damn if their name appears so many times than now I always think of the band first and I hate it.

They're still pretty big, pretty sure they're taking a break for military service

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Last I heard at least one of them had to go into mandatory service, but I haven't heard anything since.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago

Makes me think of how every MTG headline the past few years had me wondering what Wizards of the Coast messed up this time.

Fascists love ruining stuff like the Charlie Chaplin mustache and red hats.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Now they are going to ruin mono-blue as well?!

For those wondering if it's real, @btasty is just some guy talking about sports and comic books, not someone from BTS.
